Laser beacon wave-front sensing without focal anisoplanatism (2002)
Journal Article
Buscher, D., Love, G., & Myers, R. (2002). Laser beacon wave-front sensing without focal anisoplanatism. Optics Letters, 27(3), 149-151. https://doi.org/10.1364/ol.27.000149

Wave-front sensing from artificial beacons is normally performed by formation of a focused spot in the atmosphere and sensing of the wave-front distortions produced during the beam's return passage. We propose an alternative method that senses the di... Read More about Laser beacon wave-front sensing without focal anisoplanatism.

Testing stellar population models with star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (2002)
Journal Article
Beasley, M., Hoyle, F., & Sharples, R. (2002). Testing stellar population models with star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 336(1), 168-188. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2002.05714.x

We present high signal-to-noise ratio integrated spectra of 24 star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), obtained using the FLAIR spectrograph at the UK Schmidt telescope. The spectra have been placed on to the Lick/IDS system in order to te... Read More about Testing stellar population models with star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The abundance of Lyα emitters in hierarchical models (2005)
Journal Article
Le Delliou, M., Lacey, C., Baugh, C., Guiderdoni, B., Bacon, R., Courtois, H., …Morris, S. (2005). The abundance of Lyα emitters in hierarchical models. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 357(1), L11-L15. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-3933.2005.00007.x

We present predictions for the abundance of Lyα emitters in hierarchical structure formation models. We use the GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation to explore the impact on the predicted counts of varying assumptions about the escape fr...

Constraints on the dark energy equation of state from the imprint of baryons on the power spectrum of clusters (2005)
Journal Article
Angulo, R., Baugh, C., Frenk, C., Bower, R., Jenkins, A., & Morris, S. (2005). Constraints on the dark energy equation of state from the imprint of baryons on the power spectrum of clusters. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 362(1), L25-L29. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-3933.2005.00067.x

Acoustic oscillations in the baryon–photon fluid leave a signature in the matter power spectrum. The overall shape of the spectrum and the wavelength of the oscillations depend upon the sound horizon scale at recombination. Using the Λ cold dark matt...

Dual-conjugate wavefront generation for adaptive optics (2000)
Journal Article
Kelly, T., Buscher, D., Clark, P., Dunlop, C., Love, G., Myers, R., …Zadrozny, A. (2000). Dual-conjugate wavefront generation for adaptive optics. Optics Express, 7(11), 368-374. https://doi.org/10.1364/oe.7.000368

We present results of the isoplanatic performance of an astronomical adaptive optics system in the laboratory, by using a dual layer turbulence simulator. We describe how the performance of adaptive correction degrades with off-axis angle. These expe... Read More about Dual-conjugate wavefront generation for adaptive optics.
