Journal Article
Bakx, T. J. L. C., Gray, B. S., González-Nuevo, J., Bonavera, L., Amvrosiadis, A., Eales, S., …Serjeant, S. (2023). FLASH: Faint Lenses from Associated Selection with Herschel. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 527(3), 8865-8885. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad3759

We report the ALMA Band 7 observations of 86 Herschel sources that likely contain gravitationally lensed galaxies. These sources are selected with relatively faint 500 μm flux densities between 15 and 85 mJy in an effort to characterize the effect of...

Scanning for dark matter subhaloes in Hubble Space Telescope imaging of 54 strong lenses (2023)
Journal Article
Nightingale, J. W., He, Q., Cao, X., Amvrosiadis, A., Etherington, A., Frenk, C. S., Hayes, R. G., Robertson, A., Cole, S., Lange, S., Li, R., & Massey, R. (2024). Scanning for dark matter subhaloes in Hubble Space Telescope imaging of 54 strong lenses. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 527(4), 10480-10506. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad3694

The cold dark matter (DM) model predicts that every galaxy contains thousands of DM subhaloes; almost all other DM models include a physical process that smooths away the subhaloes. The subhaloes are invisible, but could be detected via strong gravit... Read More about Scanning for dark matter subhaloes in Hubble Space Telescope imaging of 54 strong lenses.

Characterization of Herschel-selected strong lens candidates through HST and sub-mm/mm observations (2023)
Journal Article
Borsato, E., Marchetti, L., Negrello, M., Corsini, E. M., Wake, D., Amvrosiadis, A., …Young, A. (2024). Characterization of Herschel-selected strong lens candidates through HST and sub-mm/mm observations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 528(4), 6222-6279. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad3381

We have carried out Hubble Space Telescope (HST) snapshot observations at 1.1 μm of 281 candidate strongly lensed galaxies identified in the wide-area extragalactic surveys conducted with the Herschel Space Observatory. Our candidates comprise system... Read More about Characterization of Herschel-selected strong lens candidates through HST and sub-mm/mm observations.

The bright extragalactic ALMA redshift survey (BEARS) – II. Millimetre photometry of gravitational lens candidates (2023)
Journal Article
Bendo, G. J., Urquhart, S. A., Serjeant, S., Bakx, T., Hagimoto, M., Cox, P., …Young, A. J. (2023). The bright extragalactic ALMA redshift survey (BEARS) – II. Millimetre photometry of gravitational lens candidates. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 522(2), 2995-3017. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac3771

We present 101- and 151-GHz ALMA continuum images for 85 fields selected from Herschel observations that have 500-μm flux densities >80 mJy and 250–500-μm colours consistent with z > 2, most of which are expected to be gravitationally lensed or hyper...

Abell 1201: detection of an ultramassive black hole in a strong gravitational lens (2023)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 521(3), 3298-3322. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad587

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are a key catalyst of galaxy formation and evolution, leading to an observed correlation between SMBH mass MBH and host galaxy velocity dispersion σe. Outside the local Universe, measurements of MBH are usually only p... Read More about Abell 1201: detection of an ultramassive black hole in a strong gravitational lens.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 521(4), 5508–5535. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad784

We analyse the molecular and atomic emission lines of 71 bright Herschel-selected galaxies between redshifts 1.4 and 4.6 detected by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. These lines include a total of 156 CO, [C I], and H2O emission line...

Nearly a century ago, Edwin Hubble famously classified galaxies into three distinct groups: ellipticals, spirals and irregulars (Hubble, 1926). Today, by analysing millions of galaxies with advanced image processing techniques Astronomers have expand... Read More about PyAutoGalaxy: Open-Source Multiwavelength Galaxy Structure & Morphology.
