Hubble Space Telescope Hα imaging of star-forming galaxies at z ≃ 1–1.5 : evolution in the size and luminosity of giant H ii regions (2012)
Journal Article
Livermore, R., Jones, T., Richard, J., Bower, R., Ellis, R., Swinbank, A., …Crain, R. (2012). Hubble Space Telescope Hα imaging of star-forming galaxies at z ≃ 1–1.5 : evolution in the size and luminosity of giant H ii regions. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 427(1), 688-702. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21900.x

We present Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3 narrow-band imaging of the Hα emission in a sample of eight gravitationally lensed galaxies at z = 1–1.5. The magnification caused by the foreground clusters enables us to obtain a median source p...

The slowly evolving role of environment in a spectroscopic survey of star formation in M∗ > 5 × 108 M⊙ galaxies since z ∼ 1 (2012)
Journal Article
Greene, C., Gilbank, D., Balogh, M., Glazebrook, K., Bower, R., Baldry, I., …McCarthy, P. (2012). The slowly evolving role of environment in a spectroscopic survey of star formation in M∗ > 5 × 108 M⊙ galaxies since z ∼ 1. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 425(3), 1738-1752. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21654.x

We present a deep [O II] emission-line survey of faint galaxies (22.5< KAB <24) in the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) and the Faint Infra-Red Extragalactic Survey (FIRES) field. With these data we measure the star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies in...

Principles of supernova-driven winds (2012)
Journal Article
Stringer, M., Bower, R., Cole, S., Frenk, C., & Theuns, T. (2012). Principles of supernova-driven winds. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 423(2), 1596-1609. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.20982.x

The formation of galaxies is regulated by a balance between the supply of gas and the rate at which it is ejected. Traditional explanations of gas ejection equate the energy required to escape the galaxy or host halo to an estimate for the energy yie... Read More about Principles of supernova-driven winds.

What shapes the galaxy mass function ? exploring the roles of supernova-driven winds and active galactic nuclei (2012)
Journal Article
Bower, R., Benson, A., & Crain, R. (2012). What shapes the galaxy mass function ? exploring the roles of supernova-driven winds and active galactic nuclei. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 422(4), 2816-2840. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.20516.x

The observed stellar mass function (SMF) is very different to the halo mass function predicted by Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM), and it is widely accepted that this is due to energy feedback from supernovae and black holes. However, the strength and form... Read More about What shapes the galaxy mass function ? exploring the roles of supernova-driven winds and active galactic nuclei.

Substructure in the most massive GEEC groups : field-like populations in dynamically active groups (2012)
Journal Article
Hou, A., Parker, L., Wilman, D., McGee, S., Harris, W., Connelly, J., …Bower, R. (2012). Substructure in the most massive GEEC groups : field-like populations in dynamically active groups. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 421(4), 3594-3611. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.20586.x

The presence of substructure in galaxy groups and clusters is believed to be a sign of recent galaxy accretion and can be used to probe not only the assembly history of these structures, but also the evolution of their member galaxies. Using the Dres... Read More about Substructure in the most massive GEEC groups : field-like populations in dynamically active groups.

ORCA : the overdense red-sequence cluster algorithm (2012)
Journal Article

2 sample of the deep Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) equatorial stripe (Stripe 82), from which we detect 97 clusters with z≤ 0.6. Benefitting from deeper data, we are 100 per cent complete in the maxBCG optically selected cluster catalogue (based on... Read More about ORCA : the overdense red-sequence cluster algorithm.

From star-forming spirals to passive spheroids: integral field spectroscopy of E+A galaxies (2012)
Journal Article
Swinbank, A., Balogh, M., Bower, R., Zabludoff, A., Lucey, J., McGee, S., …Nichol, R. (2012). From star-forming spirals to passive spheroids: integral field spectroscopy of E+A galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 420(1), 672-683. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.20082.x

We present three-dimensional spectroscopy of 11 E+A galaxies at z= 0.06–0.12. These galaxies were selected for their strong Hδ absorption but weak (or non-existent) [O II] λ3727 and Hα emission. This selection suggests that a recent burst of star for... Read More about From star-forming spirals to passive spheroids: integral field spectroscopy of E+A galaxies.

The evolution of active galactic nuclei across cosmic time : what is downsizing? (2012)
Journal Article
Fanidakis, N., Baugh, C., Benson, A., Bower, R., Cole, S., Done, C., …del P. Lagos, C. (2012). The evolution of active galactic nuclei across cosmic time : what is downsizing?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 419(4), 2797-2820. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19931.x

We use a coupled model of the formation and evolution of galaxies and black holes (BHs) to study the evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in a cold dark matter universe. The model is embedded in the galaxy formation code GALFORM and predicts th... Read More about The evolution of active galactic nuclei across cosmic time : what is downsizing?.
