Journal Article
den Brok, M., Peletier, R. F., Seth, A., Balcells, M., Dominguez, L., Graham, A. W., …Weinzirl, T. (2014). The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey – X. Nuclear star clusters in low-mass early-type galaxies: scaling relations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 445(3), 2385-2403. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1906

We present scaling relations between structural properties of nuclear star clusters and their host galaxies for a sample of early-type dwarf galaxies observed as part of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) Coma Cluster...

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: peculiar velocity field and cosmography (2014)
Journal Article
Springob, C. M., Magoulas, C., Colless, M., Mould, J., Erdoğdu, P., Jones, D. H., …Fluke, C. J. (2014). The 6dF Galaxy Survey: peculiar velocity field and cosmography. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 445(3), 2677-2697. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1743

We derive peculiar velocities for the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and describe the velocity field of the nearby (z < 0.055) Southern hemisphere. The survey comprises 8885 galaxies for which we have previously reported Fundamental Plane data. We obtain... Read More about The 6dF Galaxy Survey: peculiar velocity field and cosmography.

The 6dF galaxy survey: cosmological constraints from the velocity power spectrum (2014)
Journal Article
Johnson, A., Blake, C., Koda, J., Ma, Y., Colless, M., Crocce, M., …Springob, C. (2014). The 6dF galaxy survey: cosmological constraints from the velocity power spectrum. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 444(4), 3926-3947. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1615

We present scale-dependent measurements of the normalized growth rate of structure fσ8(k, z = 0) using only the peculiar motions of galaxies. We use data from the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey velocity sample together with a newly compiled sample of l...

The 6dF galaxy survey: fundamental plane data (2014)
Journal Article
Campbell, L., Lucey, J., Colless, M., Jones, D., Springob, C., Magoulas, C., …Parker, Q. (2014). The 6dF galaxy survey: fundamental plane data. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 443(2), 1231-1251. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1198

We report the 6dFGS Fundamental Plane (6dFGSv) catalogue that is used to estimate distances and peculiar velocities for nearly 9000 early-type galaxies in the local (z < 0.055) universe. Velocity dispersions are derived by cross-correlation from 6dF... Read More about The 6dF galaxy survey: fundamental plane data.

The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey - VII. Structure and assembly of massive galaxies in the centre of the Coma cluster (2014)
Journal Article
Weinzirl, T., Jogee, S., Neistein, E., Khochfar, S., Kormendy, J., Marinova, I., …Puzia, T. (2014). The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey - VII. Structure and assembly of massive galaxies in the centre of the Coma cluster. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 441(4), 3083-3121. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu731

We constrain the assembly history of galaxies in the projected central 0.5 Mpc of the Coma cluster by performing structural decomposition on 69 massive (M⋆ ≥ 109 M⊙) galaxies using high-resolution F814W images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Tr...

The Norma cluster (ACO 3627) - III. The distance and peculiar velocity via the near-infrared Ks-band Fundamental Plane (2014)
Journal Article
Mutabazi, T., Blyth, S., Woudt, P., Lucey, J., Jarrett, T., Bilicki, M., …Moore, S. (2014). The Norma cluster (ACO 3627) - III. The distance and peculiar velocity via the near-infrared Ks-band Fundamental Plane. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 439(4), 3666-3682. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu217

While Norma (ACO 3627) is the richest cluster in the Great Attractor (GA) region, its role in the local dynamics is poorly understood. The Norma cluster has a mean redshift (zCMB) of 0.0165 and has been proposed as the ‘core’ of the GA. We have used... Read More about The Norma cluster (ACO 3627) - III.

Dissecting the red sequence: the bulge and disc colours of early-type galaxies in the Coma cluster (2014)
Journal Article
Head, J., Lucey, J., Hudson, M., & Smith, R. (2014). Dissecting the red sequence: the bulge and disc colours of early-type galaxies in the Coma cluster. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 440(2), 1690-1711. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu325

We explore the internal structure of red-sequence galaxies in the Coma cluster across a wide range of luminosities (−17 > Mg > −22) and cluster-centric radii (0 < rcluster < 1.3 r200). We present the 2D bulge-disc decomposition of galaxies in deep Ca... Read More about Dissecting the red sequence: the bulge and disc colours of early-type galaxies in the Coma cluster.

Barred S0 galaxies in the Coma cluster (2014)
Journal Article

This study uses r-band images from the Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR8) to study bars in lenticular (S0) galaxies in one of the nearest rich cluster environments, the Coma cluster. We develop techniques for bar detection... Read More about Barred S0 galaxies in the Coma cluster.
