We compare the contribution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and star formation towards dust heating in sub-mm galaxies (SMGs). We have used ALMA at 0.1-arcsec resolution to image a complete flux-limited sample of seven sub-mm sources previously show...

High-redshift sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) are usually assumed to be powered by star formation. However, it has been clear for some time that >20 per cent of such sourcesbrighter than ≈3 mJy host quasars. Here, we analyse a complete sample of 12 su...

Cross-correlating Planck with VST ATLAS LRGs: a new test for the ISW effect in the Southern Hemisphere (2020)
Journal Article

The Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect probes the late-time expansion history of the universe, offering direct constraints on dark energy. Here we present our measurements of the ISW signal at redshifts of z¯=0.35⁠, 0.55 and 0.68, using the cross-co...

Detection significance of baryon acoustic oscillations peaks in galaxy and quasar clustering (2018)
Journal Article

We compare our analysis of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) feature in the correlation functions of SDSS BOSS DR12 LOWZ and CMASS galaxy samples with previous literature results. Using subsets of the data we obtain an empirical estimate of the... Read More about Detection significance of baryon acoustic oscillations peaks in galaxy and quasar clustering.
