Journal Article
Gladstone, J., & Roberts, T. (2009). The ultraluminous X-ray source population of NGC 4485/4490. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 397(1), 124-134. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.14937.x

We report the results of spectral and temporal variability studies of the ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) contained within the interacting pair of galaxies NGC 4485/4490, combining Chandra and XMM–Newton observations. Each of the four separate obs... Read More about The ultraluminous X-ray source population of NGC 4485/4490.

A mid-infrared imaging survey of submillimeter-selected galaxies with the Spitzer space telescope (2009)
Journal Article
Hainline, L., Blain, A., Smail, I., Frayer, D., Chapman, S., Ivison, R., & Alexander, D. (2009). A mid-infrared imaging survey of submillimeter-selected galaxies with the Spitzer space telescope. Astrophysical Journal, 699(2), 1610-1632. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/699/2/1610

We present Spitzer-IRAC and MIPS mid-IR observations of a sample of 73 radio-detected submillimeter-selected galaxies (SMGs) with spectroscopic redshifts, the largest such sample published to date. From our data, we find that IRAC colors of SMGs are... Read More about A mid-infrared imaging survey of submillimeter-selected galaxies with the Spitzer space telescope.

Micelle shape transitions in block copolymer/homopolymer blends: Comparison of self-consistent field theory with experiment (2009)
Journal Article
Greenall, M., Buzza, D., & McLeish, T. (2009). Micelle shape transitions in block copolymer/homopolymer blends: Comparison of self-consistent field theory with experiment. The Journal of Chemical Physics, 131(3), Article 034904. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3170938

Diblock copolymers blended with homopolymer may self-assemble into spherical, cylindrical, or lamellar aggregates. Transitions between these structures may be driven by varying the homopolymer diblock molecular weight or composition. Using self-consi...

Bright solitary waves of trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (2009)
Journal Article
Parker, N., Martin, A., Adams, C., & Cornish, S. (2009). Bright solitary waves of trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 238(15), 1456-1461. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physd.2008.07.001

Motivated by recent experimental observations, we study theoretically multiple bright solitary waves of trapped Bose–Einstein condensates. Through variational and numerical analyses, we determine the threshold for collapse of these states. Under π-ph... Read More about Bright solitary waves of trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates.

Mid-infrared spectroscopy of submillimeter galaxies : extended star formation in massive high-redshift galaxies (2009)
Journal Article
Menéndez-Delmestre, K., Blain, A., Smail, I., Alexander, D., Chapman, S., Armus, L., …Teplitz, H. (2009). Mid-infrared spectroscopy of submillimeter galaxies : extended star formation in massive high-redshift galaxies. Astrophysical Journal, 699(1), 667-685. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/699/1/667

We used the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) to study the mid-IR properties and investigate the energetics of 24 Submillimeter Galaxies (SMGs). This is the largest sample of SMGs observed with Spitzer IRS and covers the full extent of properties o...

The Chandra Deep protocluster survey : Lyα blobs are powered by heating, not cooling (2009)
Journal Article
Geach, J., Alexander, D., Lehmer, B., Smail, I., Matsuda, Y., Chapman, S., …Basu-Zych, A. (2009). The Chandra Deep protocluster survey : Lyα blobs are powered by heating, not cooling. Astrophysical Journal, 700(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/700/1/1

We present the results of a 400 ks Chandra survey of 29 extended Lyα emitting nebulae (Lyα Blobs, LABs) in the z = 3.09 protocluster in the SS A22 field. We detect luminous X-ray counterparts in five LABs, implying a large fraction of active galactic...
