KROSS-SAMI: A Direct IFS Comparison of the Tully-Fisher Relation Across 8 Gyr Since z ≈ 1 (2018)
Journal Article
Tiley, A., Bureau, M., Cortese, L., Harrison, C., Johnson, H., Stott, J., …Richards, S. (2019). KROSS-SAMI: A Direct IFS Comparison of the Tully-Fisher Relation Across 8 Gyr Since z ≈ 1. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 482(2), 2166-2188. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2794

We construct Tully–Fisher relations (TFRs), from large samples of galaxies with spatially resolved H α emission maps from the K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) Redshift One Spectroscopic Survey (KROSS) at z ≈ 1. We compare these to data from th... Read More about KROSS-SAMI: A Direct IFS Comparison of the Tully-Fisher Relation Across 8 Gyr Since z ≈ 1.

Geyl (Eds.), Proceedings Volume 10706, Advances in Optical and Mechanical Technologies for Telescopes and Instrumentation III. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2312040

With the recent development of new ultra fine aluminium alloys and progress in the field of directly machined freeform surfaces, diamond machined freeform gratings could play an important part in future spectrographs or integral field units, particul...

Spectroscopy is a key technique in astronomy and nowadays most major telescopes include at least one spectrograph in their instrument suite. The dispersive element is one of the most important components and it defines the pupil size, spectral resolu...

The KMOS Cluster Survey (KCS) II - The Effect of Environment on the Structural Properties of Massive Cluster Galaxies at Redshift $1.39 \lt z \lt1.61$ (2018)
Journal Article
Chan, J., Beifiori, A., Saglia, R., Mendel, J., Stott, J., Bender, R., …Wegner, M. (2018). The KMOS Cluster Survey (KCS) II - The Effect of Environment on the Structural Properties of Massive Cluster Galaxies at Redshift $1.39 \lt z \lt1.61$. Astrophysical Journal, 856(1), Article 8. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aaadb4

We present results on the structural properties of massive passive galaxies in three clusters at 1.39 < z < 1.61 from the KMOS Cluster Survey. We measure light-weighted and mass-weighted sizes from optical and near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope ima...
