SCOPE : SCUBA-2 Continuum Observations of Pre-protostellar Evolution - Survey Description and Compact Source Catalogue
(2019-05-01)
We present the first release of the data and compact-source catalogue for the JCMT Large Program SCUBA-2 Continuum Observations of Pre-protostellar Evolution (SCOPE). SCOPE consists of 850 μm continuum observations of 1235 ...
ATLASGAL --- Molecular fingerprints of a sample of massive star forming clumps
(2019-04-21)
We have conducted a 3-mm molecular-line survey towards 570 high-mass star-forming clumps, using the Mopra telescope. The sample is selected from the 10 000 clumps identified by the ATLASGAL (APEX Telescope Large Area Survey ...
The dynamical evolution of molecular clouds near the Galactic Centre - II. Spatial structure and kinematics of simulated clouds
(2019-04-21)
The evolution of molecular clouds in galactic centres is thought to differ from that in galactic discs due to a significant influence of the external gravitational potential. We present a set of numerical simulations of ...
The dynamical evolution of molecular clouds near the Galactic Centre -- III. Tidally--induced star formation in protocluster clouds
(2019-04-02)
As part of a series of papers aimed at understanding the evolution of the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), we present hydrodynamical simulations of turbulent molecular clouds orbiting in an accurate model of the ...
The SCUBA-2 Cluster Snapshot Survey - I. Catalogue of lensed galaxies and submillimetre-bright central galaxies
(2019-04-01)
The SCUBA-2 Cluster Snapshot Survey (S2CSS) observed 202 rich clusters of galaxies at 850 μm in relatively poor submillimetre observing conditions (τ225GHz>0.1) with the aim of identifying rare examples of bright (tens ...
Disentangling the spatial substructure of Cygnus OB2 from Gaia DR2
(2019-04-01)
For the first time, we have explored the spatial substructure of the Cygnus OB2 association using parallaxes from the recent second Gaia data release. We find significant line-of-sight substructure within the association, ...
The Halo Mass of Optically Luminous Quasars at z ,F≈ ,F1-2 Measured via Gravitational Deflection of the Cosmic Microwave Background
(2019-03-27)
We measure the average deflection of cosmic microwave background photons by quasars at 〈Z〉= 1.7. Our sample is selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to cover the redshift range 0.9 ≤z≤2.2 with absolute i-band magnitudes ...
The metallicity and elemental abundance maps of kinematically atypical galaxies for constraining minor merger and accretion histories
(2019-03-06)
Explaining the internal distribution and motions of stars and gas in galaxies is a key aspect in understanding their evolution. In previous work we identified five well-resolved galaxies with atypical kinematics from a ...
Galactic Simulations of r-process Elemental Abundances
(2019-03-01)
We present the distributions of elemental abundance ratios using chemodynamical simulations that include four different neutron capture processes: magnetorotational supernovae, neutron star mergers, neutrino-driven winds, ...
The linear bias of radio galaxies at z~0.3 via cosmic microwave background lensing
(2019-02-26)
We present a new measurement of the linear bias of radio loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGN) at $z\approx0.3$ and $L_{\rm 1.4GHz}>10^{23}\,{\rm W\,Hz^{-1}}$ selected from the Best & Heckman (2012) sample, made by ...
