Wavelength self-calibration and sky subtraction for Fabry–Pérot interferometers: applications to OSIRIS (2015)
Journal Article

We describe techniques concerning wavelength calibration and sky subtraction to maximize the scientific utility of data from tunable filter instruments. While we specifically address data from the Optical System for Imaging and low Resolution Integra...

Linking the structural properties of galaxies and their star formation histories with STAGES (2015)
Journal Article

We study the links between star formation history and structure for a large mass-selected galaxy sample at 0.05 ≤ zphot ≤ 0.30. The galaxies inhabit a very broad range of environments, from cluster cores to the field. Using Hubble Space Telescope (HS...

OMEGA - OSIRIS Mapping of Emission-line Galaxies in A901/2: I. Survey description, data analysis, and star formation and AGN activity in the highest density regions (2015)
Journal Article

We present an overview of and first results from the OMEGA (OSIRIS Mapping of Emission-line Galaxies in the multicluster system A901/2) survey. The ultimate goal of this project is to study star formation and active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity ac... Read More about OMEGA - OSIRIS Mapping of Emission-line Galaxies in A901/2: I.

Galaxy sizes as a function of environment at intermediate redshift from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (2015)
Journal Article

In order to assess whether the environment has a significant effect on galaxy sizes, we compare the mass–size relations of cluster and field galaxies in the 0.4

Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project – II. Quantifying scatter and bias using contrasting mock catalogues (2015)
Journal Article

This paper is the second in a series in which we perform an extensive comparison of various galaxy-based cluster mass estimation techniques that utilize the positions, velocities and colours of galaxies. Our aim is to quantify the scatter, systematic... Read More about Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project – II. Quantifying scatter and bias using contrasting mock catalogues.
