    • A flexible method for estimating luminosity functions via Kernel Density Estimation 

      Jarvis, Matt J.; Yuan, Zunli; Wang, Jiancheng (IOP Publishing, 2020)
      We propose a flexible method for estimating luminosity functions (LFs) based on kernel density estimation (KDE), the most popular nonparametric density estimation approach developed in modern statistics, to overcome ...
    • Improvements in cosmological constraints from breaking growth degeneracy 

      Perenon, Louis; Ilic, St´ephane; Maartens, Roy (EDP Sciences, 2020)
      The key probes of the growth of a large-scale structure are its rate f and amplitude σ8. Redshift space distortions in the galaxy power spectrum allow us to measure only the combination fσ8, which can be used to constrain ...
    • Measuring the HI mass function below the detection threshold 

      Pan, Hengxing; Jarvis, Matt J.; Santos, Mario G. (Royal Astronomical Society, 2020)
      We present a Bayesian stacking technique to directly measure the H I mass function (HIMF) and its evolution with redshift using galaxies formally below the nominal detection threshold. We generate galaxy samples over several ...
    • Properties of submillimeter galaxies in the CANDELS GOODS-south field 

      Wilklind, Tommy; Conselice, Christopher J.; Dave, Romeel (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 ...
    • The star formation rates of QSOs 

      Symeonidis, Myrto; Maddox, Natasha; Jarvis, Matthew J. (Royal Astronomical Society, 2022)
      We examine the far-IR properties of a sample of 5391 optically selected QSOs in the 0.5 < z < 2.65 redshift range down to log [νLν,2500(erg/s)] > 44.7, using SPIRE data from Herschel-ATLAS. We split the sample in a grid ...
    • The star-formation history of mass-selected galaxies from the VIDEO survey 

      Zwart, Jonathan T.L.; Jarvis, Matt; Deane, Roger P.; Bonfield, David G.; Knowles, Kenda; Madhanpall, Nikhita; Rahmani, Hadi; Smith, Daniel J.B. (Oxford University Press, 2014)
      We measure star formation rates (SFRs) and specific SFRs (SSFRs) of Ks-selected galaxies from the VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations survey by stacking 1.4 GHz Very Large Array data. We split the sample, which spans 0 ...
