The SCUBA half-degree extragalactic survey - II. Submillimetre maps, catalogue and number counts (2006)
Journal Article

We present maps, source catalogue and number counts of the largest, most complete and unbiased extragalactic submillimetre survey: the 850-μm SCUBA Half-Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES). Using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA)... Read More about The SCUBA half-degree extragalactic survey - II. Submillimetre maps, catalogue and number counts.

Luminosity functions for galaxies and quasars in the Spitzer Wide-area Infrared Extragalactic Legacy Survey (2006)
Journal Article

We construct rest-frame luminosity functions (LFs) at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8 and 24 μm over the redshift range 0 < z < 2 for galaxies and 0 < z < 4 for optical quasi-stellar objects (QSOs), using optical and infrared (IR) data from the Spitzer Wide-area In...

Breaking the hierarchy of galaxy formation (2006)
Journal Article

Recent observations of the distant Universe suggest that much of the stellar mass of bright galaxies was already in place at z> 1. This presents a challenge for models of galaxy formation because massive haloes are assembled late in the hierarchical... Read More about Breaking the hierarchy of galaxy formation.

The epoch of reionization (2006)
Journal Article

We have modelled the process of reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) by photoionization by galaxies, in order to learn what galaxy formation in the framework of the cold dark matter (CDM) model predicts for the epoch of reionization. We use... Read More about The epoch of reionization.

The properties of Ly-alpha emitting galaxies in hierarchical galaxy formation models (2006)
Journal Article

We present detailed predictions for the properties of Lyα-emitting galaxies in the framework of the Λ cold dark matter cosmology, calculated using the semi-analytical galaxy formation model galform. We explore a model that assumes a top-heavy initial... Read More about The properties of Ly-alpha emitting galaxies in hierarchical galaxy formation models.
