Journal Article
Bundy, K., Bershady, M. A., Law, D. R., Yan, R., Drory, N., MacDonald, N., …Zhang, K. (2014). Overview of the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey: mapping nearby galaxies at Apache Point Observatory. Astrophysical Journal, 798(1), 7. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/798/1/7

We present an overview of a new integral field spectroscopic survey called MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory), one of three core programs in the fourth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) that began on 2014 July 1....

Kinematics and simulations of the stellar stream in the halo of the Umbrella Galaxy (2014)
Journal Article
Foster, C., Lux, H., Romanowsky, A. J., Martínez-Delgado, D., Zibetti, S., Arnold, J. A., …Strader, J. (2014). Kinematics and simulations of the stellar stream in the halo of the Umbrella Galaxy. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 442(4), 3544-3564. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1074

We study the dynamics of faint stellar substructures around the Umbrella Galaxy, NGC 4651, which hosts a dramatic system of streams and shells formed through the tidal disruption of a nucleated dwarf elliptical galaxy. We elucidate the basic characte... Read More about Kinematics and simulations of the stellar stream in the halo of the Umbrella Galaxy.

Galaxy cluster mass reconstruction project – I. Methods and first results on galaxy-based techniques (2014)
Journal Article
Old, L., Skibba, R., Pearce, F. R., Croton, D., Muldrew, S. I., Muñoz-Cuartas, J., …Wojtak, R. (2014). Galaxy cluster mass reconstruction project – I. Methods and first results on galaxy-based techniques. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 441(2), 1513-1536. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu545

This paper is the first 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 primary aim is to test the performance of t... Read More about Galaxy cluster mass reconstruction project – I. Methods and first results on galaxy-based techniques.

The origin of S0s in clusters: evidence from the bulge and disc star formation histories (2014)
Journal Article
Johnston, E. J., Aragón-Salamanca, A., & Merrifield, M. R. (2014). The origin of S0s in clusters: evidence from the bulge and disc star formation histories. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 441(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu582

The individual star formation histories of bulges and discs of lenticular (S0) galaxies can provide information on the processes involved in the quenching of their star formation and subsequent transformation from spirals. In order to study this tran... Read More about The origin of S0s in clusters: evidence from the bulge and disc star formation histories.

Caught in the act: cluster 'k+a' galaxies as a link between spirals and S0s (2014)
Journal Article
Rodriguez Del Pino, B., Bamford, S. P., Aragón-Salamanca, A., Milvang-Jensen, B., Merrifield, M. R., & Balcells, M. (2014). Caught in the act: cluster 'k+a' galaxies as a link between spirals and S0s. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 438(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt2202

We use integral field spectroscopy of 13 disc galaxies in the cluster AC114 at z ∼ 0.31 in an attempt to disentangle the physical processes responsible for the transformation of spiral galaxies in clusters. Our sample is selected to display a dominan... Read More about Caught in the act: cluster 'k+a' galaxies as a link between spirals and S0s.
