Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) : The 325-MHz Radio Luminosity Function of AGN and Star Forming Galaxies
(2016-03-21)
Measurement of the evolution of both active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star-formation in galaxies underpins our understanding of galaxy evolution over cosmic time. Radio continuum observations can provide key information ...
LOFAR facet calibration
(2016-03-07)
LOFAR, the Low-Frequency Array, is a powerful new radio telescope operating between 10 and 240 MHz. LOFAR allows detailed sensitive high-resolution studies of the low-frequency radio sky. At the same time LOFAR also provides ...
LOFAR, VLA, and Chandra observations of the Toothbrush galaxy cluster
(2016-02-22)
We present deep LOFAR observations between 120-181 MHz of the "Toothbrush" (RX J0603.3+4214), a cluster that contains one of the brightest radio relic sources known. Our LOFAR observations exploit a new and novel calibration ...
The link between accretion mode and environment in radio-loud active galaxies
(2015-11-01)
The interactions between radio-loud AGN and their environments play an important rôle in galaxy and cluster evolution. Recent work has demonstrated fundamental differences between high- and low-excitation radio galaxies ...
Black hole masses, accretion rates and hot- and cold-mode accretion in radio galaxies at z ~ 1
(2015-02-21)
Understanding the evolution of accretion activity is fundamental to our understanding of how galaxies form and evolve over the history of the Universe. We analyse a complete sample of 27 radio galaxies which includes both ...
The cluster environments of radio-loud AGN
(Cambridge University Press, 2015)
Radio-loud AGN play an important role in galaxy evolution. We need to understand their properties, and the processes that affect their behaviour in order to model galaxy formation and development. We here present preliminary ...
The temperature dependence of the far-infrared-radio correlation in the Herschel-ATLAS
(2014-12-11)
We use 10 387 galaxies from the Herschel Astrophysical TeraHertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) to probe the far-infrared radio correlation (FIRC) of star-forming galaxies as a function of redshift, wavelength, and effective ...
Herschel-ATLAS: Far-infrared properties of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars
(2014-08-01)
We have constructed a sample of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars from the Faint Images Radio Sky at Twenty-one centimetres and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7, over the Herschel-ATLAS Phase 1 area (9h, 12h ...
The wide-field infrared survey explorer properties of complete samples of radio-loud active galactic nucleus
(2014-03-01)
We present an analysis of four complete samples of radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN; 3CRR, 2Jy, 6CE and 7CE) using near- and mid-IR data taken by theWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The combined sample ...
Isothermal dust models of Herschel-ATLAS galaxies
(2013-12)
We use galaxies from the Herschel-ATLAS (H-ATLAS) survey, and a suite of ancillary simulations based on an isothermal dust model, to study our ability to determine the effective dust temperature, luminosity and emissivity ...
