Journal Article
Fine, S., Shanks, T., Croom, S., Green, P., Kelly, B., Berger, E., …Price, P. (2012). Composite reverberation mapping. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 427(4), 2701-2710. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21248.x

Reverberation mapping offers one of the best techniques for studying the inner regions of quasi-stellar objects (QSOs). It is based on cross-correlating continuum and emission-line light curves. New time-resolved optical surveys will produce well-sam... Read More about Composite reverberation mapping.

Measuring BAO and non-Gaussianity via QSO clustering (2012)
Journal Article
Sawangwit, U., Shanks, T., Croom, S., Drinkwater, M., Fine, S., Parkinson, D., & Ross, N. (2012). Measuring BAO and non-Gaussianity via QSO clustering. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 420(3), 1916-1925. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19848.x

Our goals are (i) to search for BAO and large-scale structure in current quasi-stellar object (QSO) survey data and (ii) to use these and simulation/forecast results to assess the science case for a new, ≳10 times larger, QSO survey. We first combine... Read More about Measuring BAO and non-Gaussianity via QSO clustering.

Submillimetre observations of X-ray active galactic nuclei in the William Herschel Deep Field (2012)
Journal Article
Bielby, R., Hill, M., Metcalfe, N., & Shanks, T. (2012). Submillimetre observations of X-ray active galactic nuclei in the William Herschel Deep Field. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 419(2), 1315-1323. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19787.x

We investigate the contribution made by active galactic nuclei (AGN) to the high-redshift, luminous, submillimetre (submm) source population using deep (≤2 mJy beam−1) Large Apex Bolometer Camera (LABOCA) 870 Graphicm observations within the William...
