We present data for 16 galaxies in the overdensity JKCS 041 at $z\simeq 1.80$ as part of the K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) Cluster Survey (KCS). With 20 hr integrations, we have obtained deep absorption-line spectra from which we derived ve... Read More about The KMOS Cluster Survey (KCS). III.

The KMOS Redshift One Spectroscopic Survey (KROSS): the origin of disc turbulence in z ≈ 1 star-forming galaxies (2017)
Journal Article
Johnson, H., Harrison, C., Swinbank, A., Tiley, A., Stott, J., Bower, R., …Richards, S. (2018). The KMOS Redshift One Spectroscopic Survey (KROSS): the origin of disc turbulence in z ≈ 1 star-forming galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 474(4), 5076-5104. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx3016

We analyse the velocity dispersion properties of 472 z ∼ 0.9 star-forming galaxies observed as part of the KMOS Redshift One Spectroscopic Survey (KROSS). The majority of this sample is rotationally dominated (83 ± 5 per cent with vC/σ0 > 1) but also...

Journal Article
Lovell, J., Stephen, R., Bray, S., Naylor, G., Elmore, S., Willett, H., …Sharples, R. (2017). A compact, smart Langmuir Probe control module for MAST-Upgrade. Journal of Instrumentation, 12(11), Article C11008. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/12/11/c11008

A new control module for the MAST-Upgrade Langmuir Probe system has been developed. It is based on a Xilinx Zynq FPGA, which allows for excellent configurability and ease of retrieving data. The module is capable of arbitrary bias voltage waveform ge... Read More about A compact, smart Langmuir Probe control module for MAST-Upgrade.
