The Milky Way has been described as an anaemic spiral, but is its star formation rate (SFR) unusually low when compared to its peers? To answer this question, we define a sample of Milky Way Analogues (MWAs) based on stringent cuts on the best litera...

Time-slicing spiral galaxies with SDSS-IV MaNGA (2019)
Journal Article
Peterken, T., Fraser-Mckelvie, A., Aragón-Salamanca, A., Merrifield, M., Kraljic, K., Knapen, J. H., …Drory, N. (2019). Time-slicing spiral galaxies with SDSS-IV MaNGA. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 489(1), 1338–1343. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz2204/5548799

Spectra of galaxies contain a wealth of information about the stellar populations from which they are made. With integral-field unit (IFU) surveys, such data can be used to map out stellar population properties across the face of a galaxy, allowing o...

The time delay between star formation quenching and morphological transformation of galaxies in clusters: a phase–space view of EDisCS (2019)
Journal Article
Kelkar, K., Gray, M. E., Aragón-Salamanca, A., Rudnick, G., Jaffé, Y. L., Jablonka, P., …Milvang-Jensen, B. (2019). The time delay between star formation quenching and morphological transformation of galaxies in clusters: a phase–space view of EDisCS. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 486(1), 868-884. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz905

We explore the possible effect of cluster environments on the structure and star formation histories of galaxies by analysing the projected phase–space (PPS) of intermediate-redshift clusters (0.4 z 0.8). HST I−band imaging data from the ESO Distant... Read More about The time delay between star formation quenching and morphological transformation of galaxies in clusters: a phase–space view of EDisCS.
