A massive x-ray outflow from the quasar PDS 456 (2003)
Journal Article
Reeves, J., O'Brien, P., & Ward, M. (2003). A massive x-ray outflow from the quasar PDS 456. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 593(2), L65-L68. https://doi.org/10.1086/378218

We report on XMM-Newton spectroscopic observations of the luminous radio-quiet quasar PDS 456. The hard X-ray spectrum of PDS 456 shows a deep absorption trough (constituting 50% of the continuum) at energies above 7 keV in the quasar rest frame, whi...

Spin coupling between cold atoms and the thermal fluctuations of a metal surface (2003)
Journal Article
Jones, M., Vale, C., Sahagun, D., Hall, B., & Hinds, E. (2003). Spin coupling between cold atoms and the thermal fluctuations of a metal surface. Physical Review Letters, 91(8), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.91.080401

We describe an experiment in which Bose-Einstein condensates and cold atom clouds are held by a microscopic magnetic trap near a room-temperature metal wire 500 m in diameter. The lifetime for atoms to remain in the microtrap is measured over a range... Read More about Spin coupling between cold atoms and the thermal fluctuations of a metal surface.

On the origin of intracluster entropy (2003)
Journal Article
Voit, G., Balogh, M., Bower, R., Lacey, C., & Bryan, G. (2003). On the origin of intracluster entropy. Astrophysical Journal, 593(1), 272-290. https://doi.org/10.1086/376499

The entropy distribution of the intracluster medium and the shape of its confining potential well completely determine the X-ray properties of a relaxed cluster of galaxies, motivating us to explore the origin of intracluster entropy and to describe...

The halo occupation distribution and the physics of galaxy formation (2003)
Journal Article
Berlind, A., Weinberg, D., Benson, A., Baugh, C., Cole, S., Davé, R., …Lacey, C. (2003). The halo occupation distribution and the physics of galaxy formation. Astrophysical Journal, 593(1), 1-25. https://doi.org/10.1086/376517

The halo occupation distribution (HOD) describes the bias between galaxies and dark matter by specifying (1) the probability P(N|M) that a halo of virial mass M contains N galaxies of a particular class and (2) the relative spatial and velocity distr...
