Pan-Planets: Searching for hot Jupiters around cool dwarfs (2016)
Journal Article
Obermeier, C., Koppenhoefer, J., Saglia, R., Henning, T., Bender, R., Kodric, M., …Waters, C. (2016). Pan-Planets: Searching for hot Jupiters around cool dwarfs. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 587, Article A49. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201527633

The Pan-Planets survey observed an area of 42 sq deg. in the galactic disk for about 165 h. The main scientific goal of the project is the detection of transiting planets around M dwarfs. We establish an efficient procedure for determining the stella... Read More about Pan-Planets: Searching for hot Jupiters around cool dwarfs.

Production and characterisation of a dual species magneto-optical trap of cesium and ytterbium (2016)
Journal Article
Kemp, S., Butler, K., Freytag, R., Hopkins, S., Hinds, E., Tarbutt, M., & Cornish, S. (2016). Production and characterisation of a dual species magneto-optical trap of cesium and ytterbium. Review of Scientific Instruments, 87(2), Article 023105. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4941719

We describe an apparatus designed to trap and cool a Yb and Cs mixture. The apparatus consists of a dual species effusive oven source, dual species Zeeman slower, magneto-optical traps in a single ultra-high vacuum science chamber, and the associated...

Instabilities of spin-liquid states in a quantum kagome antiferromagnet (2016)
Journal Article
Gomilšek, M., Klanjšek, M., Pregelj, M., Coomer, F., Luetkens, H., Zaharko, O., …Zorko, A. (2016). Instabilities of spin-liquid states in a quantum kagome antiferromagnet. Physical review B, 93(6), Article 060405(R). https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.93.060405

The emergent behavior of spin liquids that are born out of geometrical frustration makes them an intriguing state of matter. We show that in the quantum kagome antiferromagnet ZnCu3(OH)6SO4 several different correlated yet fluctuating states exist. B...

Visualising the molecular alteration of the calcite (104) – water interface by sodium nitrate (2016)
Journal Article
Hofmann, S., Voïtchovsky, K., Spijker, P., Schmidt, M., & Stumpf, T. (2016). Visualising the molecular alteration of the calcite (104) – water interface by sodium nitrate. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 21576. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep21576

The reactivity of calcite, one of the most abundant minerals in the earth’s crust, is determined by the molecular details of its interface with the contacting solution. Recently, it has been found that trace concentrations of NaNO3 severely affect ca... Read More about Visualising the molecular alteration of the calcite (104) – water interface by sodium nitrate.

IDCS J1426.5+3508: Weak Lensing Analysis of a Massive Galaxy Cluster at z = 1.75 (2016)
Journal Article
Mo, W., Gonzalez, A., Jee, M., Massey, R., Rhodes, J., Brodwin, M., …Zeimann, G. (2016). IDCS J1426.5+3508: Weak Lensing Analysis of a Massive Galaxy Cluster at z = 1.75. Astrophysical Journal, 818(2), Article L25. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8205/818/2/l25

We present a weak lensing study of the galaxy cluster IDCS J1426.5+3508 at z = 1.75, which is the highest-redshift strong lensing cluster known and the most distant cluster for which a weak lensing analysis has been undertaken. Using F160W, F814W, an... Read More about IDCS J1426.5+3508: Weak Lensing Analysis of a Massive Galaxy Cluster at z = 1.75.

Clusters of specialized detector cells provide sensitive and high fidelity receptor signaling in the intact endothelium (2016)
Journal Article
Wilson, C., Saunter, C. D., Girkin, J. M., & McCarron, J. G. (2016). Clusters of specialized detector cells provide sensitive and high fidelity receptor signaling in the intact endothelium. FASEB Journal, 30(5), 2000-2013. https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.201500090

Agonist-mediated signaling by the endothelium controls virtually all vascular functions. Because of the large diversity of agonists, each with varying concentrations, background noise often obscures individual cellular signals. How the endothelium di...

The brighter galaxies reionised the Universe (2016)
Journal Article
Sharma, M., Theuns, T., Frenk, C., Bower, R., Crain, R., Schaller, M., & Schaye, J. (2016). The brighter galaxies reionised the Universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 458(1), L94-L98. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slw021

Hydrogen in the Universe was (re)ionized between redshifts z ≈ 10 and z ≈ 6. The nature of the sources of the ionizing radiation is hotly debated, with faint galaxies below current detection limits regarded as prime candidates. Here, we consider a sc...

The view from the boundary: a new void stacking method (2016)
Journal Article
Cautun, M., Cai, Y., & Frenk, C. (2016). The view from the boundary: a new void stacking method. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 457(3), 2540-2553. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw154

We introduce a new method for stacking voids and deriving their profile that greatly increases the potential of voids as a tool for precision cosmology. Given that voids are distinctly non-spherical and have most of their mass at their edge, voids ar... Read More about The view from the boundary: a new void stacking method.

The CALYMHA survey: Lyα escape fraction and its dependence on galaxy properties at z = 2.23 (2016)
Journal Article
Matthee, J., Sobral, D., Oteo, I., Best, P., Smail, I., Röttgering, H., & Paulino-Afonso, A. (2016). The CALYMHA survey: Lyα escape fraction and its dependence on galaxy properties at z = 2.23. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 458(1), 449-467. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw322

We present the first results from our CAlibrating LYMan-α with Hα (CALYMHA) pilot survey at the Isaac Newton Telescope. We measure Lyα emission for 488 Hα selected galaxies at z = 2.23 from HiZELS in the COSMOS and UDS fields with a specially designe...
