Testing homegeneity with Galaxy Star formation histories
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
Observationally confirming spatial homogeneity on sufficiently large cosmological scales is of importance to test
one of the underpinning assumptions of cosmology, and is also imperative for correctly interpreting dark ...
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 ...
The effect of weak lensing on distance estimates from supernovae
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Using a sample of 608 Type Ia supernovae from the SDSS-II and BOSS surveys, combined with a sample of
foreground galaxies from SDSS-II, we estimate the weak lensing convergence for each supernova line of sight.
We find ...
SN Ia host galaxy properties from Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II spectroscopy
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We study the stellar populations of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) host galaxies using Sloan
Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-II spectroscopy. The main focus is on the relationships of SN Ia
properties with stellar velocity dispersion ...
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 ...
HerMES: The contribution to the cosmic infrared background from galaxies selected by mass and redshift
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
The cosmic infrared background (CIB), discovered in Far
Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS) data from the
Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE; Puget et al. 1996;
Fixsen et al. 1998), originates from thermal ...
Radio continuum surveys with square kilometre array pathfinders
(Cambridge University Press, 2013)
In the lead-up to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project, several next-generation
radio telescopes and upgrades are already being built around the world. These include APERTIF
(The Netherlands), ASKAP (Australia), ...
The Herschel* view of the environment of the radio galaxy 4C+41.17 at z = 3.8
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We present Herschel observations at 70, 160, 250, 350 and 500 μm of the environment of the
radio galaxy 4C+41.17 at z = 3.792. About 65 per cent of the extracted sources are securely
identified with mid-infrared sources ...
