Massive, red galaxies in a hierarchical universe – I. Counts of extremely red objects and basic properties (2009)
Journal Article
Gonzalez-Perez, V., Baugh, C., Lacey, C., & Almeida, C. (2009). Massive, red galaxies in a hierarchical universe – I. Counts of extremely red objects and basic properties. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 398(2), 497-514. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.14397.x

We present predictions for the abundance and nature of extremely red objects (EROs) in the Λ cold dark matter model. EROs are red, massive galaxies observed at z≥ 1 and their numbers and properties pose a challenge to hierarchical galaxy formation mo...

Strategies for spectroscopy on Extremely Large Telescopes - II. Diverse-field spectroscopy (2009)
Journal Article
Murray, G., & Allington-Smith, J. (2009). Strategies for spectroscopy on Extremely Large Telescopes - II. Diverse-field spectroscopy. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 399(1), 209-218. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15170.x

The fields of view of Extremely Large Telescopes will contain vast numbers of spatial sampling elements (spaxels) as their adaptive optics systems approach the diffraction limit over wide fields. Since this will exceed the detection capabilities of a... Read More about Strategies for spectroscopy on Extremely Large Telescopes - II. Diverse-field spectroscopy.

The nonlinear response of entangled star polymers to startup of shear flow (2009)
Journal Article
Tezel, A. K., Leal, L. G., Oberhauser, J. P., Graham, R. S., Jagannathan, K., & McLeish, T. (2009). The nonlinear response of entangled star polymers to startup of shear flow. Journal of Rheology, 53(5), 1193-1214. https://doi.org/10.1122/1.3160733

We consider the response of entangled four-arm polybutadiene star solutions to steady shear and to startup of steady shear in the nonlinear shear-rate regime. Data are reported both for the shear stress, measured in a cone and plate geometry using a... Read More about The nonlinear response of entangled star polymers to startup of shear flow.

Elongational Flow of Blends of Long and Short Polymers: Effective Stretch Relaxation Time (2009)
Journal Article
Auhl, D., Chambon, P., McLeish, T. C., & Read, D. J. (2009). Elongational Flow of Blends of Long and Short Polymers: Effective Stretch Relaxation Time. Physical Review Letters, 103(13), Article 136001. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.103.136001

We study the onset of chain stretch and emergent extension hardening in the nonlinear rheological response of molten binary blends of long and short polymers. We predict that, upon dilution with short chains, the effective stretch relaxation time of...

Off-resonance absorption and dispersion in vapours of hot alkali-metal atoms (2009)
Journal Article
Siddons, P., Adams, C., & Hughes, I. (2009). Off-resonance absorption and dispersion in vapours of hot alkali-metal atoms. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 42(17), Article 175004. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/42/17/175004

We study the absorptive and dispersive properties of Doppler-broadened atomic media as a function of detuning. Beginning from the exact lineshape calculated for a two-level atom, a series of approximations to the electric susceptibility are made. The...

The effect of nanometre-scale structure on interfacial energy (2009)
Journal Article
Kuna, J., Voïtchovsky, K., Singh, C., Jiang, H., Mwenifumbo, S., Ghorai, P., …Stellacci, F. (2009). The effect of nanometre-scale structure on interfacial energy. Nature Materials, 8(10), 837-842. https://doi.org/10.1038/nmat2534

Natural surfaces are often structured with nanometre-scale domains, yet a framework providing a quantitative understanding of how nanostructure affects interfacial energy, italic gammaSL, is lacking. Conventional continuum thermodynamics treats itali... Read More about The effect of nanometre-scale structure on interfacial energy.

Electroproduction of the N*(1535) resonance at large momentum transfer. (2009)
Journal Article
Braun, V., Göckeler, M., Horsley, R., Kaltenbrunner, T., Lenz, A., Nakamura, Y., …Zanotti, J. (2009). Electroproduction of the N*(1535) resonance at large momentum transfer. Physical Review Letters, 103(7), Article 072001. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.103.072001

We report on the first lattice calculation of light-cone distribution amplitudes of the N∗(1535) resonance, which are used to calculate the transition form factors at large momentum transfers using light-cone sum rules. In the region Q2>2  GeV2, wher... Read More about Electroproduction of the N*(1535) resonance at large momentum transfer..
