Journal Article
Wang, W., White, S. D., Mandelbaum, R., Henriques, B., Anderson, M. E., & Han, J. (2016). A weak gravitational lensing recalibration of the scaling relations linking the gas properties of dark haloes to their mass. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 456(3), 2301-2320. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2809

We use weak gravitational lensing to measure mean mass profiles around locally brightest galaxies (LBGs). These are selected from the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopic and photometric catalogues to be brighter than an...

The orbital PDF: the dynamical state of Milky Way sized haloes and the intrinsic uncertainty in the determination of their masses (2015)
Journal Article
Han, J., Wang, W., Cole, S., & Frenk, C. S. (2016). The orbital PDF: the dynamical state of Milky Way sized haloes and the intrinsic uncertainty in the determination of their masses. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 456(1), 1017-1029. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2522

Using realistic cosmological simulations of Milky Way sized haloes, we study their dynamical state and the accuracy of inferring their mass profiles with steady-state models of dynamical tracers. We use a new method that describes the phase-space dis...

The orbital PDF: general inference of the gravitational potential from steady-state tracers (2015)
Journal Article

We develop two general methods to infer the gravitational potential of a system using steady-state tracers, i.e. tracers with a time-independent phase-space distribution. Combined with the phase-space continuity equation, the time independence implie... Read More about The orbital PDF: general inference of the gravitational potential from steady-state tracers.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 455(4), 3911-3942. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2505

We present the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) Panchromatic Data Release (PDR) constituting over 230 deg2 of imaging with photometry in 21 bands extending from the far-UV to the far-IR. These data complement our spectroscopic campaign of over 300k ga... Read More about Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Panchromatic Data Release (far-UV-far-IR) and the low-z energy budget.

Erratum: Estimating the dark matter halo mass of our Milky Way using dynamical tracers (2015)
Journal Article

Our paper ‘Estimating the dark matter halo mass of our Milky Way using dynamical tracers’ published in MNRAS, 2015, 453, 377 contained typographic errors in equations (12) and (6) as detailed below. Our code used the correct expressions in both cases... Read More about Erratum: Estimating the dark matter halo mass of our Milky Way using dynamical tracers.

The modification of star formation (SF) in galaxy interactions is a complex process, with SF observed to be both enhanced in major mergers and suppressed in minor pair interactions. Such changes likely to arise on short time-scales and be directly re... Read More about Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the effect of close interactions on star formation in galaxies.
