A population of faint extended line emitters and the host galaxies of optically thick QSO absorption systems (2008)
Journal Article
Rauch, M., Haehnelt, M., Bunker, A., Becker, G., Marleau, F., Graham, J., …Theuns, T. (2008). A population of faint extended line emitters and the host galaxies of optically thick QSO absorption systems. Astrophysical Journal, 681(2), 856-880. https://doi.org/10.1086/525846

We have conducted a long-slit search for low surface brightness Lyα emitters at redshift 2.67 < z < 3.75. A 92 hr long exposure with the ESO VLT FORS2 instrument down to a 1 σ surface brightness detection limit of 8 × 10−20 erg cm−2 s−1 arcsec−2 per...

Ram pressure stripping the hot gaseous haloes of galaxies in groups and clusters (2008)
Journal Article
McCarthy, I., Frenk, C., Font, A., Lacey, C., Bower, R., Mitchell, N., …Theuns, T. (2008). Ram pressure stripping the hot gaseous haloes of galaxies in groups and clusters. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 383(2), 593-605. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2007.12577.x

We use a large suite of carefully controlled full hydrodynamic simulations to study the ram pressure stripping of the hot gaseous haloes of galaxies as they fall into massive groups and clusters. The sensitivity of the results to the orbit, total gal... Read More about Ram pressure stripping the hot gaseous haloes of galaxies in groups and clusters.
