Designing a space-based galaxy redshift survey to probe dark energy (2010)
Journal Article

A space-based galaxy redshift survey would have enormous power in constraining dark energy and testing general relativity, provided that its parameters are suitably optimized. We study viable space-based galaxy redshift surveys, exploring the depende... Read More about Designing a space-based galaxy redshift survey to probe dark energy.

The Parameter Space of Galaxy Formation (2010)
Journal Article

Semi-analytic models are a powerful tool for studying the formation of galaxies. However, these models inevitably involve a significant number of poorly constrained parameters that must be adjusted to provide an acceptable match to the observed Unive...

The redshift evolution of the mass function of cold gas in hierarchical galaxy formation models (2010)
Journal Article

Accurately predicting how the cosmic abundance of neutral hydrogen evolves with redshift is a challenging problem facing modellers of galaxy formation. We investigate the predictions of four currently favoured semi-analytical galaxy formation models...

Probing dark energy with future redshift surveys: a comparison of emission line and broad-band selection in the near-infrared (2010)
Journal Article

Future galaxy surveys will map the galaxy distribution in the redshift interval 0.5 < z < 2 using near-infrared cameras and spectrographs. The primary scientific goal of such surveys is to constrain the nature of the dark energy by measuring the larg...

Predictions for Herschel from Λ-cold dark matter : unveiling the cosmic star formation history (2010)
Journal Article

We use a model for the evolution of galaxies in the far-infrared (far-IR) based on the Λ-cold dark matter cosmology to make detailed predictions for the upcoming cosmological surveys with the Herschel Space Observatory. We use the combined GALFORM se... Read More about Predictions for Herschel from Λ-cold dark matter : unveiling the cosmic star formation history.

The Herschel ATLAS (2010)
Journal Article

The Herschel ATLAS is the largest open-time key project that will be carried out on the Herschel Space Observatory. It will survey 570 deg2 of the extragalactic sky, 4 times larger than all the other Herschel extragalactic surveys combined, in five f... Read More about The Herschel ATLAS.

Empirical Hα emitter count predictions for dark energy surveys (2010)
Journal Article

Future galaxy redshift surveys aim to measure cosmological quantities from the galaxy power spectrum. A prime example is the detection of baryonic acoustic oscillations, providing a standard ruler to measure the dark energy equation of state, w(z), t...

Modelling the dusty universe - I. Introducing the artificial neural network and first applications to luminosity and colour distributions (2010)
Journal Article

We introduce a new technique based on artificial neural networks which enable us to make accurate predictions for the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of large samples of galaxies, at wavelengths ranging from the far-ultraviolet (UV) to the submi...

AzTEC half square degree survey of the SHADES fields - I. Maps, catalogues and source counts (2010)
Journal Article

We present the first results from the largest deep extragalactic mm-wavelength survey undertaken to date. These results are derived from maps covering over 0.7 deg2, made at λ= 1.1 mm, using the AzTEC continuum camera mounted on the James Clerk Maxwe...
