The discovery of a galaxy-wide superwind from a young massive galaxy at redshift z ≈ 3 (2005)
Journal Article
Wilman, R., Gerssen, J., Bower, R., Morris, S., Bacon, R., de Zeeuw, P., & Davies, R. (2005). The discovery of a galaxy-wide superwind from a young massive galaxy at redshift z ≈ 3. Nature, 436(7048), 227-229. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature03718

High-velocity galactic outflows, driven by intense bursts of star formation and black hole accretion, are processes invoked by current theories of galaxy formation to terminate star formation in the most massive galaxies and to deposit heavy elements...

Galaxy groups at 0.3 ⩽ z ⩽ 0.55 - I. Group properties. (2005)
Journal Article
Wilman, D., Balogh, M., Bower, R., Mulchaey, J., Oemler, A., Carlberg, R., …Whitaker, R. (2005). Galaxy groups at 0.3 ⩽ z ⩽ 0.55 - I. Group properties. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 358(1), 71-87. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2005.08744.x

The evolution of galaxies in groups may have important implications for the evolution of the star formation history of the Universe, since many processes which operate in groups may suppress star formation and the fraction of galaxies in bound groups...

Deep SAURON spectral imaging of the diffuse Lyman α halo LAB1 in SSA 22. (2004)
Journal Article
Bower, R., Morris, S., Bacon, R., Wilman, R., Sullivan, M., Chapman, S., …Emsellem, E. (2004). Deep SAURON spectral imaging of the diffuse Lyman α halo LAB1 in SSA 22. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 351(1), 63-69. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2004.07783.x

We have used the SAURON panoramic integral field spectrograph to study the structure of the Lyα emission-line halo, LAB1, surrounding the submillimetre galaxy SMM J221726+0013. This emission-line halo was discovered during a narrow-band imaging surve... Read More about Deep SAURON spectral imaging of the diffuse Lyman α halo LAB1 in SSA 22..

A Million Element Integral Field Unit (MEIFU) (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Morris, S., Content, R., Sharples, R., Bower, R., Davies, R., & Baugh, C. (2002). A Million Element Integral Field Unit (MEIFU). In Scientific Drivers for ESO Future VLT/VLTI Instrumentation: Proceedings of the ESO Workshop Held in Garching, Germany, 11-15 June 2001 (99-107). https://doi.org/10.1007/10857019_16

We describe an instrument concept that will provide simultaneous spectra for a million spatial samples on the sky. With the proposed field of view and spectral resolution, it will be able to measure redshifts and line strengths for around 2-4000 z∼∼3...
