Wide field adaptive optics microscopy using both closed loop correction and image sharpness optimization (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bourgenot, C., Love, G. D., Saunter, C. D., & Girkin, J. M. (2011, July). Wide field adaptive optics microscopy using both closed loop correction and image sharpness optimization. Presented at Imaging and Applied Optics, Toronto, Canada

We report on results from a wide field microscope fitted with adaptive optics. We describe results based on both image optimization (wavefront sensorless adaptive optics) and full closed loop correction.

Linear growth of structure in the symmetron model (2011)
Journal Article
Brax, P., van de Bruck, C., Davis, A., Li, B., Schmauch, B., & Shaw, D. (2011). Linear growth of structure in the symmetron model. Physical Review D, 84, Article 123524. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.84.123524

In the symmetron mechanism, the fifth force mediated by a coupled scalar field (the symmetron) is suppressed in high-density regions due to the restoration of symmetry in the symmetron potential. In this paper we study the background cosmology and la... Read More about Linear growth of structure in the symmetron model.

Herschel observations of the Centaurus cluster - the dynamics of cold gas in a cool core (2011)
Journal Article

Brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in the cores of galaxy clusters have distinctly different properties from other low-redshift massive ellipticals. The majority of the BCGs in cool-core clusters show signs of active star formation. We present observa...

Cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular gas contents of galaxies (2011)
Journal Article
Lagos, C., Baugh, C., Lacey, C., Benson, A., Kim, H., & Power, C. (2011). Cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular gas contents of galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 418(3), 1649-1667. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19583.x

We study the evolution of the cold gas content of galaxies by splitting the interstellar medium into its atomic and molecular hydrogen components, using the galaxy formation model GALFORM in the Λ cold dark matter framework. We calculate the molecula... Read More about Cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular gas contents of galaxies.
