Strength in numbers: Optimal and scalable combination of LHC new-physics searches (2023)
Journal Article
Araz, J. Y., Buckley, A., Fuks, B., Reyes-González, H., Waltenberger, W., Williamson, S. L., & Yellen, J. (2023). Strength in numbers: Optimal and scalable combination of LHC new-physics searches. SciPost Physics, 14(4), Article 077. https://doi.org/10.21468/scipostphys.14.4.077

To gain a comprehensive view of what the LHC tells us about physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), it is crucial that different BSM-sensitive analyses can be combined. But in general search-analyses are not statistically orthogonal, so performing c... Read More about Strength in numbers: Optimal and scalable combination of LHC new-physics searches.

We present the discovery of the most distant, dynamically relaxed cool core cluster, SPT-CL J2215−3537 (SPT2215), and its central brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) at z = 1.16. Using new X-ray observations, we demonstrate that SPT2215 harbors a strong c... Read More about SPT-CL J2215−3537: A Massive Starburst at the Center of the Most Distant Relaxed Galaxy Cluster.

Journal Article
Wright, I. A., Etherington, M. K., Batsanov, A. S., Monkman, A. P., & Bryce, M. R. (2023). Oxidation State Tuning of Room Temperature Phosphorescence and Delayed Fluorescence in Phenothiazine and Phenothiazine‐5,5‐dioxide Dimers. Chemistry - A European Journal, 29(30), Article e202300428. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.202300428

Heterocyclic dimers consisting of combinations of butterfly-shaped phenothiazine (PTZ) and its chemically oxidized form phenothiazine-5,5-dioxide (PTZ(SO2)) have been synthesized. A twist is imposed across the dimers by ortho-substituents including m...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 522(1), 1091-1107. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad803

We present the first strong-gravitational-lensing analysis of the galaxy cluster RX J0437.1+0043 (RXJ0437; z = 0.285). Newly obtained, deep MUSE observations, Keck/MOSFIRE near-infrared spectroscopy, and Hubble Space Telescope SNAPshot imaging reveal...

The north–south asymmetry of the ALFALFA H i velocity width function (2023)
Journal Article
Brooks, R. A. N., Oman, K. A., & Frenk, C. S. (2023). The north–south asymmetry of the ALFALFA H i velocity width function. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 522(3), 4043-4058. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad1191

The number density of extragalactic 21-cm radio sources as a function of their spectral line widths - the HI width function (HIWF) - is a sensitive tracer of the dark matter halo mass function (HMF). The Lambda cold dark matter model predicts that th... Read More about The north–south asymmetry of the ALFALFA H i velocity width function.

Constraining quenching time-scales in galaxy clusters by forward-modelling stellar ages and quiescent fractions in projected phase space (2023)

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 522(2), 1779-1799. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad1069

We forward-model mass-weighted stellar ages (MWAs) and quiescent fractions (fQ) in projected phase space (PPS), using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, to jointly constrain an infall quenching model for galaxies in log (Mvir/M⊙) > 14 galaxy clu...

The miniJPAS survey: AGN and host galaxy coevolution of X-ray-selected sources (2023)
Journal Article

Studies indicate strong evidence of a scaling relation in the local Universe between the supermassive black hole mass (MBH) and the stellar mass of their host galaxies (M⋆). They even show similar histories across cosmic times of their differential t... Read More about The miniJPAS survey: AGN and host galaxy coevolution of X-ray-selected sources.
