The VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO) survey
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
In this paper we describe the first data release of the the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope
for Astronomy (VISTA) Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO) survey. VIDEO is a
12 degree2 survey in the near-infrared ...
A deep search for faint galaxies associated with very low-redshift C iv absorbers: A case with cold-accretion characteristics
(The American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Studies of QSO absorber–galaxy connections are often hindered by inadequate information on whether faint/dwarf
galaxies are located near the QSO sight lines. To investigate the contribution of faint galaxies to QSO ...
Forming the Moon from terrestrial silicate-rich material
(Elsevier, 2013)
Recent high-precision measurements of the isotopic composition of lunar rocks demonstrate that the bulk
silicate Earth and the Moon show an unexpectedly high degree of similarity. This is inconsistent with one
of the ...
Isothermal dust models of Herschel-ATLAS galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We use galaxies from the Herschel-ATLAS survey, and a suite of ancillary simulations based on an isothermal dust model, to study our ability to determine the effective dust temperature, luminosity and emissivity index of ...
High-Precision Branching Ratio Measurement for the Superallowed + Emitter 74Rb
(American Physical Society, 2013)
A high-precision branching-ratio measurement for the superallowed β
+ decay of 74Rb was performed at the
TRIUMF Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) radioactive ion-beam facility. The scintillating electronpositron
tagging ...
Black hole - galaxy correlations without self-regulation
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Recent models of black hole growth in a cosmological context have forwarded a paradigm in which the growth
is self-regulated by feedback from the black hole itself. Here we use cosmological zoom simulations of galaxy
formation ...
Hot subdwarf stars in close-up view IV. Helium abundances and the 3He isotopic anomaly of subdwarf B stars
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
Atmospheric parameters and helium abundances of 44 bright subdwarf B stars have been determined. More than half of our sample
consists of newly discovered stars from the Edinburgh Cape survey. We showed that effective ...
The COS-Halos survey: Rationale, design and a census of circumgalactic neutral hydrogen
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
We present the design and methods of the COS-Halos survey, a systematic investigation of the gaseous halos of
44 z = 0.15–0.35 galaxies using background QSOs observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph aboard the
Hubble ...
The cosmic evolution of the IMF under the Jeans conjecture with implications for massive galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We examine the cosmic evolution of a stellar initial mass function (IMF) in galaxies that varies
with the Jeans mass in the interstellar medium, paying particular attention to the K-band stellar
mass-to-light ratio (M/LK) ...
The slow flow model of dust eflux in local star-forming galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We develop a dust efflux model of radiation pressure acting on dust grains which
successfully reproduces the relation between stellar mass, dust opacity and star forma-
tion rate observed in local star-forming galaxies. ...
