    The Cluster-EAGLE project: velocity bias and the velocity dispersion-mass relation of cluster galaxies
    We use the Cluster-EAGLE simulations to explore the velocity bias introduced when using galaxies, rather than dark matter particles, to estimate the velocity...
  • Publication
    The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmic flows and cosmic web from luminous red galaxies
    We present a Bayesian phase-space reconstruction of the cosmic large-scale matter density and velocity fields from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon...
  • Publication
    The Clustering of Galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Luminosity and Color Dependence and Redshift Evolution
    We measure the luminosity and color dependence and the redshift evolution of galaxy clustering in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Oscillation...
  • Publication
    The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: mock galaxy catalogues for the BOSS Final Data Release
    We reproduce the galaxy clustering catalogue from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Final Data Release (BOSS DR11&DR12) with high fidelity on...
  • Publication
    The co-evolution of strong AGN and central galaxies in different environments
    We exploit a sample of 80 000 Sloan Digital Sky Survey central galaxies to investigate the effect of active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback on their evolution...
  • Publication
    The coincidence and angular clustering of Chandra and SCUBA sources
    We explore the relationship between the hard X-ray and submillimetre populations using deep Chandra observations of a large, contiguous SCUBA survey. In...
  • Publication
    The Color-Magnitude Distribution of Field Galaxies to z~3: The Evolution and Modeling of the Blue Sequence
    Using deep NIR VLT ISAAC and optical HST WFPC2 imaging in the HDF-S and MS 1054-03, we study the rest-frame UV-to-optical colors and magnitudes of galaxies to z...
  • Publication
    The Comparative Chemical Evolution of an Isolated Dwarf Galaxy: A VLT and Keck Spectroscopic Survey of WLM
    Building on our previous spectroscopic and photometric analysis of the isolated Local Group dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxy WLM, we present a comparison of the...
  • Publication
    The complex multi-component outflow of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 7130
    Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a key ingredient for understanding galactic evolution, as their activity is coupled to the host galaxy properties through...
