Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 327(4), 1297-1306. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2001.04827.x

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey has now measured in excess of 160-000 galaxy redshifts. This paper presents the power spectrum of the galaxy distribution, calculated using a direct Fourier transform based technique. We argue that, within the k-space r...

We investigate the dependence of the strength of galaxy clustering on intrinsic luminosity using the Anglo-Australian two degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). The 2dFGRS is over an order of magnitude larger than previous redshift surveys use... Read More about The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering.

We present the first results of a spectroscopic survey of faint lensed galaxies in the core of the galaxy cluster AC 114 (z=0.312) obtained from observations with the FORS1 spectrograph mounted on the VLT-Antu (Unit Telescope 1). The galaxies were ch... Read More about VLT spectroscopy of galaxies lensed by the AC 114 cluster : implications for the mass model and the study of low-luminosity galaxies at high-redshift.

We report the identification of a possible optical counterpart to the super-Eddington X-ray source NGC 5204 X-1. New Chandra data show that the X-ray source is point-like, with a luminosity of 5.2×10^39 erg/s (0.5-8 keV). It displays medium- and long...

Mapping the inner accretion disc of the Galactic black hole J1550-564 through its rise to outburst (2001)

We study the spectral properties of the first 14 observations of the rise to outburst phase of the X-ray transient J1550–564. Using both the PCA and HEXTE instruments, we find that the 3–200 keV spectra pass smoothly from a standard low/hard state to...
