First ground-based observations of sprites over southern Africa
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2018)
Sprites are the optical signatures of electrical discharges in the mesosphere triggered by large lightning
strikes associated with thunderstorms. Since their discovery in the late 1980s, sprites have been
observed ...
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 ...
The Galactic halo pulsar population
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
Most population studies of pulsars have hitherto focused on the disc of the Galaxy, the
Galactic centre, globular clusters, and nearby galaxies. It is expected that pulsars, by
virtue of their natal kicks, are also to ...
Synergies between intensity maps of hydrogen lines
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
We study synergies between Hi 21cm and Hα intensity map observations, focusing on SKA1-
like and SPHEREx-like surveys. We forecast how well such a combination can measure features
in the angular power spectrum on the ...
The observed galaxy bispectrum from single-field inflation in the squeezed limit
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
Using the consistency relation in Fourier space, we derive the observed galaxy bispectrum from
single- eld in
ation in the squeezed limit, in which one of the three modes has a wavelength much
longer than the other two. ...
The complex physics of dusty star-forming galaxies at high redshifts as revealed by Herschel and Spitzer
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
We combine far-infrared photometry from Herschel (PEP/HerMES) with deep mid-infrared spectroscopy from
Spitzer to investigate the nature and the mass assembly history of a sample of 31 luminous and ultraluminous
infrared ...
A comparison of the microstructures, thermal and mechanical properties of pressed and sintered TieCu, TieNi and TieCueNi alloys intended for dental applications
(Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2020)
The effect of Ni and Cu on the a/b phase transformation temperature, possible retention of the b-phase, and mechanical properties of Ti, Tie13Cu, Tie4.5Ni and Tie13Cue4.5Ni (compositions in wt. %) alloys were investigated. ...
nIFTy galaxy cluster simulations – V. Investigation of the cluster infall region
(Oxford University Press, 2016)
We examine the properties of the galaxies and dark matter haloes residing in the cluster
infall region surrounding the simulated cold dark matter galaxy cluster studied by Elahi
et al. at z = 0. The 1.1 × 1015 h−1M ...
Comparative study: the effect of annealing conditions on the properties of P3HT:PCBM blends
(Springer Verlag, 2013)
This paper presents a detailed study on the role of various annealing treatments on organic poly(3-hexylthiophene) and [6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester blends under different experimental conditions. A combination ...
A comparison of Einstein-Boltzmann solvers for testing General Relativity
(American Physical Society, 2018)
We compare Einstein-Boltzmann solvers that include modifications to General Relativity and find that, for a
wide range of models and parameters, they agree to a high level of precision. We look at three general purpose
codes ...
