Aligned metal absorbers and the ultraviolet background at the end of reionization
(Oxford University Press, 2018)We use observations of spatially-aligned C ii, C iv, Si ii, Si iv, and O i absorbers to probe the slope and intensity of the ultraviolet background (UVB) at z ∼ 6. We accom- plish this by comparing observations with ... -
The Christian faith and evolution: An evolving, unresolved debate
(AOSIS, 2018)This article sketches how the debate on Christian faith and evolution has evolved. Seven challenges are identified and described in the debate, namely, regarding a recognition of deep (geological) time (challenging the ... -
A deep radio view of the evolution of the cosmic star formation rate density from a stellar-mass-selected sample in VLA-COSMOS
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2022)We present the 1.4 GHz radio luminosity functions (RLFs) of galaxies in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field, measured above and below the 5σ detection threshold, using a Bayesian model-fitting technique. The radio ... -
Deep extragalactic visible legacy survey (DEVILS):Evolution of the σsFR-M relation and implications for self-regulated star formation
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)We present the evolution of the star formation dispersion–stellar mass relation ( σSFR –M ) in the DEVILS D10 region using new measurements derived using the PROSPECT spectral energy distribution fitting code. We find ... -
Eat and/or be eaten: The evolutionary roots of violence?
(SUN, 2015)This contribution raises the question about where things have gone wrong in evolutionary history. In classic Christian discourse it is typically assumed that the primary problem is human sin, while the problem of natural ... -
Evolution of faint radio sources in the VIDEO-XMM3 field
(OUP, 2013)It has been speculated that low luminosity radio-loud AGN have the potential to serve as an important source of AGN feedback, and may be responsible for suppressing star-formation activity in massive elliptical galaxies ... -
Evolution of star formation in the UKIDSS ultra deep survey field - I. Luminosity functions and cosmic star formation rate out of z = 1.6
(OUP, 2013)We present new results on the cosmic star formation history in the SXDS-UDS field out to z = 1.6. We compile narrow-band data from the Subaru Telescope and the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) ... -
The Evolution of the concept of 'unfair discrimination' in South African Labour Law
(Juta Law, 2006)Introduction:This article examines the meaning and scope of the prohibition of unfair discrimination against employees contained in s 6 of the Employment Equity Act in the light of the development of the concept of 'unfair ... -
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Resolving the role of environment in galaxy evolution
(Oxford University Press, 2013)We present observations of 18 galaxies from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey made with the SPIRAL optical integral field unit (IFU) on the Anglo- Australian Telescope. The galaxies are selected to ... -
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): spectroscopic analysis
(Oxford University Press, 2013)The Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey is a multiwavelength photometric and spectroscopic survey, using the AAOmega spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain spectra for up to _ 300 000 galaxies over ... -
Galaxy and mass assembly: evolution of the Hα luminosity function and star formation rate density up to z < 0.35
(OUP, 2013)Measurements of the low-z Hα luminosity function, Φ, have a large dispersion in the local number density of sources (∼0.5–1 Mpc−3 dex−1), and correspondingly in the star formation rate density (SFRD). The possible causes ... -
HELP: The Herschel Extragalactic Legacy Project
(Oxford University Press, 2021)We present the Herschel Extragalactic Legacy Project (HELP). This project collates, curates, homogenizes and creates derived data products for most of the premium multiwavelength extragalactic data sets. The sky boundaries ... -
Mufasa: The assembly of the red sequence
(Oxford University Press, 2017)We examine the growth and evolution of quenched galaxies in the Mufasa cosmo- logical hydrodynamic simulations that include an evolving halo mass-based quench- ing prescription, with galaxy colours computed accounting ... -
MUFASA: The strength and evolution of galaxy conformity in various tracers
(Oxford University Press, 2017)We investigate galaxy conformity using the Mufasa cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We show a bimodal distribution in galaxy colour with radius, albeit with too many low-mass quenched satellite galaxies compared ... -
On social evil and natural evil: in conversation with Christopher Southgate
(Wiley, 2018)In this contribution, the author engages in a conversation with Christopher Southgate on the relationship between social evil and what is called natural “evil.” Theologically, this centers around an understanding of creation ... -
Physical properties of spectroscopically confirmed galaxies at Z ≥ 6. I. Basic characteristics of the rest-frame UV continuum and lyman-alpha emission
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)We present deep HST near-IR and Spitzer mid-IR observations of a large sample of spectroscopically- confirmed galaxies at z ≥ 6. The sample consists of 51 Ly-alpha emitters (LAEs) at z ≃ 5.7, 6.5, and 7.0, and 16 Lyman-break ... -
Physical properties of spectroscopically-confirmed galaxies at z >= 6. II. Morphology of the rest-frame UV continuum and Lyman-alpha emission
(IOP Science, 2013)We present a detailed structural and morphological study of a large sample of spectroscopicallyconfirmed galaxies at z ≥ 6, using deep HST near-IR broad-band images and Subaru optical narrowband images. The galaxy sample ... -
Predicting the neutral hydrogen content of galaxies from optical data using machine learning
(Oxford University Press, 2018)We develop a machine learning-based framework to predict the Hi content of galaxies using more straightforwardly observable quantities such as optical photometry and environmental parameters. We train the algorithm on z ... -
Properties of submillimeter galaxies in the CANDELS GOODS-south field
(American Physical Society, 2014)We derive physical properties of 10 submillimeter galaxies located in the CANDELS coverage of the GOODS-S field. The galaxies were first identified as submillimeter sources with the LABOCA bolometer and subsequently targeted ... -
