Journal Article
Coppin, K., Swinbank, A., Neri, R., Cox, P., Smail, I., Ellis, R., …Richard, J. (2007). A Detailed Study of Gas and Star Formation in a Highly Magnified Lyman Break Galaxy at z = 3.07. Astrophysical Journal, 665(2), 936-943. https://doi.org/10.1086/519789

We report the detection of CO(3-2) emission from a bright, gravitationally lensed Lyman Break galaxy, LBG J213512.73-010143 (the "Cosmic Eye"), at z = 3.07, using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. This is only the second detection of molecular gas... Read More about A Detailed Study of Gas and Star Formation in a Highly Magnified Lyman Break Galaxy at z = 3.07.

A Complete Sample of 12 Very X-Ray Luminous Galaxy Clusters at z > 0.5. (2007)
Journal Article
Ebeling, H., Barrett, E., Donovan, D., Ma, C., Edge, A., & van Speybroeck, L. (2007). A Complete Sample of 12 Very X-Ray Luminous Galaxy Clusters at z > 0.5. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 661(1), L33-L36. https://doi.org/10.1086/518603

We present the statistically complete and cosmologically most relevant subset of the 12 most distant galaxy clusters detected at z > 0.5 by the Massive Cluster Survey (MACS). Ten of these systems are new discoveries; only two (MACS J0018.5+1626, aka... Read More about A Complete Sample of 12 Very X-Ray Luminous Galaxy Clusters at z > 0.5..

An Increase in the Faint Red Galaxy Population in Massive Clusters since z \~ 0.5 (2007)
Journal Article
Stott, J., Smail, I., Edge, A., Ebeling, H., Smith, G., Kneib, J., & Pimbblet, K. (2007). An Increase in the Faint Red Galaxy Population in Massive Clusters since z \~ 0.5. Astrophysical Journal, 661(1), 95-101. https://doi.org/10.1086/514329

We compare the luminosity functions for red galaxies lying on the rest-frame (U - V) color-magnitude sequence in a homogeneous sample of 10 X-ray-luminous clusters from the MACS survey at z ~ 0.5 to a similarly selected X-ray cluster sample at z ~ 0....

A Very Bright, Highly Magnified Lyman Break Galaxy at z = 3.07. (2007)
Journal Article
Smail, I., Swinbank, A., Richard, J., Ebeling, H., Kneib, J., Edge, A., …Mullis, C. (2007). A Very Bright, Highly Magnified Lyman Break Galaxy at z = 3.07. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 654(1), L33-L36. https://doi.org/10.1086/510902

Using Hubble Space Telescope imaging and Keck spectroscopy, we report the discovery of a very bright, highly magnified (~30 times) Lyman break galaxy (LBG) at z = 3.07 in the field of the massive z = 0.33 cluster MACS J2135.2-0102. The system compris... Read More about A Very Bright, Highly Magnified Lyman Break Galaxy at z = 3.07..
