The VLT LBG redshift survey – VI. Mapping H i in the proximity of z ∼ 3 LBGs with X-Shooter (2017)
Journal Article
Bielby, R., Shanks, T., Crighton, N., Bornancini, C., Infante, L., Lambas, D., …Tummuangpak, P. (2017). The VLT LBG redshift survey – VI. Mapping H i in the proximity of z ∼ 3 LBGs with X-Shooter. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 471(2), 2174-2186. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx1772

We present an analysis of the spatial distribution and dynamics of neutral hydrogen gas around galaxies using new X-Shooter observations of z ∼ 2.5–4 quasars. Adding the X-Shooter data to our existing data set of high-resolution quasar spectroscopy,... Read More about The VLT LBG redshift survey – VI.

Probing the intra-group medium of a z = 0.28 galaxy group (2017)
Journal Article
Bielby, R., Crighton, N., Fumagalli, M., Morris, S., Stott, J., Tejos, N., & Cantalupo, S. (2017). Probing the intra-group medium of a z = 0.28 galaxy group. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 468(2), 1373-1386. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx528

We present new MUSE observations of a galaxy group probed by a background quasar. The quasar sightline passes between multiple z = 0.28 galaxies, whilst showing at the same redshift low-ionized metal line species, including Ca ii, Mg i, Mg ii and Fe ...

A measurement of the z = 0 UV background from Halpha fluorescence (2017)
Journal Article
Fumagalli, M., Haardt, F., Theuns, T., Morris, S. L., Cantalupo, S., Madau, P., & Fossati, M. (2017). A measurement of the z = 0 UV background from Halpha fluorescence. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 467(4), 4802-4816. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx398

We report the detection of extended Halpha emission from the tip of the HI disk of the nearby edge-on galaxy UGC 7321, observed with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument at the Very Large Telescope. The Halpha surface brightness fa... Read More about A measurement of the z = 0 UV background from Halpha fluorescence.
