The Nature of Star Formation in Lensed Galaxies at High Redshift (1993)
Journal Article
Smail, I., Ellis, R., Aragón-Salamanca, A., Soucail, G., Mellier, Y., & Giraud, E. (1993). The Nature of Star Formation in Lensed Galaxies at High Redshift. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 263(3), 628-640. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/263.3.628

We present near-infrared photometry of all available gravitationally lensed ‘arcs’ with spectroscopic redshifts. By combining this photometry with optical data, we find that the bulk of the systems with z ~ 1 are intrinsically blue across the rest-fr...

A statistically complete survey for arc-like features in images of distant rich clusters of galaxies (1991)
Journal Article
Smail, I., Ellis, R., Fitchett, M., Nørgaard-Nielsen, H., Hansen, L., & Jørgensen, H. (1991). A statistically complete survey for arc-like features in images of distant rich clusters of galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 252(1), 19-29. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/252.1.19

Using data from an earlier search for supernovae in distant clusters, we have constructed a homogeneous set of V images for 19 rich clusters with mean redshift z¯¯¯=0.32z¯=0.32. By considering the images above a fixed surface brightness limit, the da... Read More about A statistically complete survey for arc-like features in images of distant rich clusters of galaxies.

Spectroscopy of arcs in the rich cluster Abell 963 (1991)
Journal Article
Ellis, R., Allington-Smith, J., & Smail, I. (1991). Spectroscopy of arcs in the rich cluster Abell 963. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 249(1), 184-190. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/249.1.184

Spectra are presented for portions of the two arcs observed close to the dominant cD galaxy in the rich cluster Abell 963 (z = 0.206). The spectrum of the northern arc displays a strong emission line at 6600 Å which is seen along the entire arc. The... Read More about Spectroscopy of arcs in the rich cluster Abell 963.
