The Local Group galaxies offer some of the most discriminating tests of models of cosmic structure formation. For example, observations of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda satellite populations appear to be in disagreement with N-body simulations of...

As the exploration of hydrocarbons moves into more complex and deeper basinal settings the need to understand the effect of high temperatures and high pressures on reservoir quality and rock properties becomes even more important. The fluvial channel... Read More about Exceptional reservoir quality in HPHT reservoir settings: examples from the Skagerrak Formation of the Heron Cluster, UK, North Sea.

We use new near-infrared spectroscopic observations to investigate the nature and evolution of the most luminous Hα emitters at z ∼ 0.8–2.23, which evolve strongly in number density over this period, and compare them to more typical Hα emitters. We s... Read More about The most luminous H α emitters at z ∼ 0.8–2.23 from HiZELS: evolution of AGN and star-forming galaxies.
