Acceleration of adaptive optics simulations using programmable logic (2005)
Journal Article
Basden, A., Assemat, F., Butterley, T., Geng, D., Saunter, C., & Wilson, R. (2005). Acceleration of adaptive optics simulations using programmable logic. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 364(4), 1413-1418. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2005.09670.x

Numerical simulation is an essential part of the design and optimization of astronomical adaptive optics (AO) systems. Simulations of AO are computationally expensive and the problem scales rapidly with telescope aperture size, as the required spatia...

Results from the adaptive optics coronagraph at the William Herschel Telescope (2005)
Journal Article
Thompson, S., Doel, A., Bingham, R., Charalambous, A., Myers, R., Bissonauth, N., …Talbot, G. (2005). Results from the adaptive optics coronagraph at the William Herschel Telescope. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 364(4), 1203-1210. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2005.09628.x

Described here is the design and commissioning of a coronagraph facility for the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and its Nasmyth Adaptive Optics for Multi-purpose Instrumentation (NAOMI). The use of the NAOMI system gives an improved image res... Read More about Results from the adaptive optics coronagraph at the William Herschel Telescope.

Constraints on the dark energy equation of state from the imprint of baryons on the power spectrum of clusters (2005)
Journal Article
Angulo, R., Baugh, C., Frenk, C., Bower, R., Jenkins, A., & Morris, S. (2005). Constraints on the dark energy equation of state from the imprint of baryons on the power spectrum of clusters. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 362(1), L25-L29. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-3933.2005.00067.x

Acoustic oscillations in the baryon–photon fluid leave a signature in the matter power spectrum. The overall shape of the spectrum and the wavelength of the oscillations depend upon the sound horizon scale at recombination. Using the Λ cold dark matt...

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...
