Impact of Rubin observatory cadence choices on supernovae photometric classification
(American Astronomical Society, 2023)The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will discover an unprecedented number of supernovae (SNe), making spectroscopic classification for all the events infeasible. LSST will thus rely on ... -
Inferring halo masses with graph neural networks
(Institute of Physics, 2022)Understanding the halo–galaxy connection is fundamental in order to improve our knowledge on the nature and properties of dark matter. In this work, we build a model that infers the mass of a halo given the positions, ... -
Interferometric H I intensity mapping: perturbation theory predictions and foreground removal effects
(Oxford University Press, 2023)We provide perturbation theory predictions for the H I intensity mapping power spectrum multipoles using the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structure, which should allow us to exploit mildly non-linear scales. ... -
Intrinsic scatter of caustic masses and hydrostatic bias: An observational study
(EDP Sciences, 2017)All estimates of cluster mass have some intrinsic scatter and perhaps some bias with true mass even in the absence of measurement errors for example caused by cluster triaxiality and large scale structure. Knowledge of ... -
Isoscalar giant monopole strength in 58Ni, 90Zr, 120Sn and 208Pb
(American Physical Society, 2023)Inelastic α-particle scattering at energies of a few hundred MeV and very-forward scattering angles including 0° has been established as a tool for the study of the isoscalar giant monopole (IS0) strength distributions ... -
The lofar tied-array all-sky survey: Timing of 35 radio pulsars and an overview of the properties of the lofar pulsar discoveries
(EDP Sciences, 2023)The LOFAR Tied-Array All-Sky Survey (LOTAAS) is the most sensitive untargeted radio pulsar survey performed at low radio frequencies (119−151 MHz) to date and has discovered 76 new radio pulsars, including the 23.5-s ... -
The LOFAR Tied-Array All-Sky Survey: Timing of 35 radio pulsars and an overview of the properties of the LOFAR pulsar discoveries
(Astronomy& Astrophysics, 2023)The LOFAR Tied-Array All-Sky Survey (LOTAAS) is the most sensitive untargeted radio pulsar survey performed at low radio frequencies (119−151 MHz) to date and has discovered 76 new radio pulsars, including the 23.5-s pulsar ... -
The lofar two-metre sky survey: Deep fields data release 1. V. Survey description, source classifications, and host galaxy properties
(Oxford University Press, 2023)Source classifications, stellar masses, and star-formation rates are presented for ≈80 000 radio sources from the first data release of the Low Frequency Array Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) Deep Fields, which represents the ... -
Measurements of one-point statistics in 21-cm intensity maps via foreground avoidance strategy
(Oxford University Press, 2022)Measurements of the one-point probability distribution function and higher-order moments (variance, skewness, and kurtosis) of the high-redshift 21-cm fluctuations are among the most directstatistical probes of the ... -
The MeerKAT pulsar timing array: First data release
(Oxford University Press, 2022)We present the first 2.5 years of data from the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array (MPTA), part of MeerTime, a MeerKAT Large Survey Project. The MPTA aims to precisely measure pulse arrival times from an ensemble of 88 pulsars ... -
Mightee-h i: Possible interactions with the galaxy NGC 895
(Oxford University Press, 2023)The transformation and evolution of a galaxy is strongly influenced by interactions with its environment. Neutral hydrogen (H i) is an excellent way to trace these interactions. Here, we present H i observations of the ... -
Mightee-hi: Evolution of hi scaling relations of star-forming galaxies at z < 0.5*
(IOP Publishing, 2022)We present the first measurements of H I galaxy scaling relations from a blind survey at z > 0.15. We perform spectral stacking of 9023 spectra of star-forming galaxies undetected in H I at 0.23 < z < 0.49, extracted ... -
Mightee: Deep 1.4 ghz source counts and the sky temperature contribution of star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei
(Oxford University Press, 2023)We present deep 1.4 GHz source counts from ∼5 deg2 of the continuum Early Science data release of the MeerKAT International Gigahertz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration survey down to S1.4GHz ∼15 μ Jy. Using observations ... -
Mining mini-halos with MeerKAT I. Calibration and imaging
(Oxford University Press, 2023)Radio mini-halos are clouds of diffuse, low-surface brightness synchrotron emission that surround the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) in massive cool-core galaxy clusters. In this paper, we use third generation calibration ... -
Multifilter time-series observations of eleven blue short-period atlas variable stars
(IOP Publishing, 2023)Eleven periodic variable stars were observed photometrically through two to four filters from the set UBVRCIC. Phase-folded data for each star cover full cycles of variation. Spectral energy distributions, based on ... -
A new sample of southern radio galaxies: Host-galaxy masses and star-formation rates
(Oxford University Press, 2019)In this study we define a new sample of distant powerful radio galaxies in order to study their host galaxy properties and provide targets for future observations of H I absorption with new radio telescopes and to understand ... -
A new technique to isolate kinematically anomalous gas in HI data cubes
(Oxford University Press, 2023)H I line observations of nearby galaxies often reveal the presence of extraplanar and/or kinematically anomalous gas that deviates from the general circular flow. In this work, we study the dependence of kinematically ... -
Nonlinear galactic dynamos and the magnetic pitch angle
(American Astronomical Society, 2015)Pitch angles p of the large-scale magnetic fields B of spiral galaxies have previously been inferred from observations to be systematically larger in magnitude than predicted by standard mean-field dynamo theory. ... -
On the primordial origin of the smoothing excess in the Planck temperature power spectrum in light of LSS data
