Deriving star formation histories from photometry using energy balance spectral energy distribution modelling
(2015-10-21)
Panchromatic spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting is a critical tool for determining the physical properties of distant galaxies, such as their stellar mass and star formation rate. One widely used method is the ...
The MWA GLEAM 4Jy Sample; a new large, bright radio source sample at 151 MHz
(2015-10-20)
This paper outlines how the new GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA Survey (GLEAM, Wayth et al. 2015), observed by the Murchison Widefield Array covering the frequency range 72 - 231 MHz, allows identification of a new ...
Variations in the Star Formation Efficiency of the Dense Molecular Gas across the Disks of Star-Forming Galaxies
(2015-10)
We present a new survey of HCN(1-0) emission, a tracer of dense molecular gas, focused on the little-explored regime of normal star-forming galaxy disks. Combining HCN, CO, and infrared (IR) emission, we investigate the ...
H-ATLAS/GAMA : Quantifying the morphological evolution of the galaxy population using cosmic calorimetry
(2015-10-01)
Using results from the Herschel Astrophysical Terrahertz Large-Area Survey and the Galaxy and Mass Assembly project, we show that, for galaxy masses above approximately 1.0e8 solar masses, 51% of the stellar mass-density ...
Quantifying AGN-Driven Metal-Enhanced Outflows in Chemodynamical Simulations
(2015-09-30)
We show the effects of AGN-driven outflows on the ejection of heavy elements using our cosmological simulations, where super-massive black holes originate from the first stars. In the most massive galaxy, we have identified ...
Galaxy merger histories and the role of merging in driving star formation at z>1
(2015-09-21)
We use Horizon-AGN, a hydrodynamical cosmological simulation, to explore the role of mergers in the evolution of massive (M > 10^10 MSun) galaxies around the epoch of peak cosmic star formation (1zR(4:1 3 are 'blue' (i.e. ...
The triggering of local AGN and their role in regulating star formation
(2015-09-01)
We explore the processes that trigger local AGN and the role of these AGN in regulating star formation, using ~350 nearby galaxies observed by the mJy Imaging VLBA Exploration at 20cm (mJIVE) survey. The >10^7 K brightness ...
A Warp in Progress : H I and Radio Continuum Observations of the Spiral NGC 3145
(2015-09)
We present VLA H I and 6 cm radio continuum observations of the spiral NGC 3145 and H I observations of its two companions, NGC 3143 and PGC 029578. In optical images NGC 3145 has stellar arms that appear to cross, forming ...
An analysis of the halo and relic radio emission from Abell 3376 from Murchison Widefield Array observations
(2015-08-21)
We have carried out multiwavelength observations of the near-by ($z=0.046$) rich, merging galaxy cluster Abell 3376 with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). As a part of the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey ...
Broadband Spectral Modeling of the Extreme Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum Radio Source PKS B0008-421
(2015-08-20)
We present broadband observations and spectral modeling of PKS B0008-421, and identify it as an extreme gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) source. PKS B0008-421 is characterized by the steepest known spectral slope below the ...
