Galaxy Zoo: major galaxy mergers are not a significant quenching pathway
(2017-08-21)
We use stellar mass functions to study the properties and the significance of quenching through major galaxy mergers. In addition to SDSS DR7 and Galaxy Zoo 1 data, we use samples of visually selected major galaxy mergers ...
Investigating the Unification of LOFAR-detected powerful AGN in the Boötes Field
(2017-08-01)
Low radio frequency surveys are important for testing unified models of radio-loud quasars and radio galaxies. Intrinsically similar sources that are randomly oriented on the sky will have different projected linear sizes. ...
A Tale of Three Cities : OmegaCAM discovers multiple sequences in the color-magnitude diagram of the Orion Nebula Cluster
(2017-07-27)
As part of the Accretion Discs in H$\alpha$ with OmegaCAM (ADHOC) survey, we imaged in r, i and H-alpha a region of 12x8 square degrees around the Orion Nebula Cluster. Thanks to the high-quality photometry obtained, we ...
FR-II radio galaxies at low frequencies II: spectral ageing and source dynamics
(2017-07-01)
In this paper, the second in a series investigating FR II radio galaxies at low frequencies, we use LOFAR and VLA observations between 117 and 456 MHz in addition to archival data to determine the dynamics and energetics ...
The Gaia Ultracool Dwarf Sample. I. Known L and T dwarfs and the first Gaia data release
(2017-07-01)
We identify and investigate known ultracool stars and brown dwarfs that are being observed or indirectly constrained by the Gaia mission. These objects will be the core of the Gaia ultracool dwarf sample composed of all ...
The JCMT Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey -- XI. -- Environmental Variations in the Atomic and Molecular Gas Radial Profiles of Nearby Spiral Galaxies
(2017-06-01)
We present an analysis of the radial profiles of a sample of 43 HI-flux selected spiral galaxies from the Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey (NGLS) with resolved James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) CO $J=3-2$ and/or Very Large ...
Evolution of cosmic star formation in the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey
(2017-05-21)
We present a new exploration of the cosmic star-formation history and dust obscuration in massive galaxies at redshifts $0.5z 10^{10}M_\odot$ galaxies at $0.5z 10$. One third of this is accounted for by 450$\mu$m-detected ...
LOFAR MSSS: Discovery of a 2.56 Mpc giant radio galaxy associated with a disturbed galaxy group
(2017-05-01)
We report on the discovery in the LOFAR Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS) of a giant radio galaxy (GRG) with a projected size of $2.56 \pm 0.07$ Mpc projected on the sky. It is associated with the galaxy triplet ...
Sc and neutron-capture abundances in Galactic low- and high-alpha field halo stars
(2017-05-01)
We determine relative abundance ratios for the neutron-capture elements Zr, La, Ce, Nd and Eu for a sample of 27 Galactic dwarf stars with −1.5 < [Fe/H] < −0.8. We also measure the iron-peak element Sc. These stars separate ...
The SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey: Multi-wavelength Properties of ALMA-identified Submillimeter Galaxies in UKIDSS-UDS
(2017-04-13)
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of 52 sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs), identified using ALMA 870$\mu$m continuum imaging in a pilot program to precisely locate bright SCUBA2-selected sub-mm sources in the UKIDSS Ultra ...
