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 ... -
Constraining the bright-end of the UV luminosity function for z ~ 7-9 galaxies: results from CANDELS/GOODS-South
(OUP, 2013)The recent Hubble Space Telescope near-infrared imaging with the Wide-Field Camera #3 (WFC3) of the GOODS-South field in the CANDELS program covering nearly 100 arcmin2, along with already existing Advanced Camera for ... -
Clustering of quintessence on horizon scales and its imprint on HI intensity mapping
(IOP Science, 2013)Quintessence can cluster only on horizon scales. What is the effect on the observed matter distribution? To answer this, we need a relativistic approach that goes beyond the standard Newtonian calculation and deals properly ... -
H2O emission in high-z ultra-luminous infrared galaxies
(edp sciences, 2013)Using the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer (PdBI), we report the detection of water vapor in six new lensed ultraluminous starburst galaxies at high redshift, discovered in the Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large ... -
Characterization of silicon nitride thin films deposited by hot-wire CVD at low gas flow rates
(Elsevier, 2013)We examined the chemical, structural, mechanical and optical properties of amorphous hydrogenatedsilicon nitride thin films deposited by hot-wire chemical vapour deposition using SiH4, NH3and H2gases at total flow rates ... -
Annealing effect of hybrid solar cells based on poly (3-hexylthiophene) and zinc-oxide nanostructures
(Elsevier, 2013)The structural growth and optical and photovoltaic properties of the organic–inorganic hybrid structures of zinc oxide (ZnO)-nanorods/poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) and two variations of organic polymer blends of ZnO/ ... -
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 ... -
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) ... -
Anti-lensing: the bright side of voids
(American Physical Society, 2013)More than half of the volume of our Universe is occupied by cosmic voids. The lensing magni ca- tion e ect from those under-dense regions is generally thought to give a small dimming contribution: objects on the far side ... -
Cosmology with photometrically classified type IA supernovae from the SDSS-II supernova survey
(The American Astronomical Society, 2013)We present the cosmological analysis of 752 photometrically–classified Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained from the full Sloan Digital Sky Survey II (SDSS-II) Supernova (SN) Survey, supplemented with host–galaxy ... -
EC 10246-2707: a new eclipsing sdB + M dwarf binary⋆
(OUP, 2013)We announce the discovery of a new eclipsing hot subdwarf B + M dwarf binary, EC 10246-2707, and present multi-colour photometric and spectroscopic observations of this system. Similar to other HW Vir-type binaries, the ... -
Extending BEAMS to incorporate correlated systematic uncertainties
(IOP Science, 2013)New supernova surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey, Pan-STARRS and the LSST will produce an unprecedented number of photometric supernova candidates, most with no spectroscopic data. Avoiding biases in cosmological ... -
Constraints on anisotropic cosmic expansion from supernovae
(Edp Sciences, 2013)AIMS. We test the isotropy of the expansion of the Universe by estimating the hemispherical anisotropy of supernova type Ia (SN Ia) Hubble diagrams at low redshifts (z < 0.2). METHODS. We compare the best fit Hubble ... -
Galaxy correlations and the BAO in a void universe: structure formation as a test of the Copernican Principle
(IOP Science, 2013)A suggested solution to the dark energy problem is the void model, where accelerated expansion is replaced by Hubble-scale inhomogeneity. In these models, density perturbations grow on a radially inhomogeneous background. ... -
Cosmology on ultralarge scales with intensity mapping of the neutral hydrogen 21 cm emission: limits on primodial non-gaussianity
(American Physical Society, 2013)The large-scale structure of the Universe supplies crucial information about the physical processes at play at early times. Unresolved maps of the intensity of 21 cm emission from neutral hydrogen HI at redshifts z ~ 1 − ... -
Periodic variations in the O-C diagrams of five pulsation frequencies of the DB white dwarf EC 20058-5234
(American Physical Society, 2013)Variations in the pulsation arrival time of five independent pulsation frequencies of the DB white dwarf EC 20058−5234 individually imitate the effects of reflex motion induced by a planet or companion but are inconsistent ... -
The Q/U imaging experiment instrument
