Cosmic Evolution of the H2 Mass Density and the Epoch of Molecular Gas (2021)
Journal Article
Garratt, T. K., Coppin, K. E., Geach, J. E., Almaini, O., Hartley, W. G., Maltby, D. T., Simpson, C. J., Wilkinson, A., Conselice, C. J., Franco, M., Ivison, R. J., Koprowski, M. P., Lovell, C. C., Pope, A., Scott, D., & Van Der Werf, P. (2021). Cosmic Evolution of the H2 Mass Density and the Epoch of Molecular Gas. Astrophysical Journal, 912(1), Article 62. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/abec81

We present new empirical constraints on the evolution of ρ H2, the cosmological mass density of molecular hydrogen, back to z ≈ 2.5. We employ a statistical approach measuring the average observed 850 μm flux density of near-infrared selected galaxie...

From starburst to quiescence: post-starburst galaxies and their large-scale clustering over cosmic time (2021)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, A., Almaini, O., Wild, V., Maltby, D., Hartley, W. G., Simpson, C., & Rowlands, K. (2021). From starburst to quiescence: post-starburst galaxies and their large-scale clustering over cosmic time. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 504(3), 4533–4550. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab965

We present the first study of the large-scale clustering of post-starburst (PSB) galaxies in the high-redshift Universe (0.5 < z < 3.0). We select ∼4000 PSB galaxies photometrically, the largest high-redshift sample of this kind, from two deep large-...

Astronomy and Astrophysics, 647, Article A150. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202040059

VANDELS is an ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey designed to build a sample of high-signal-to-noise ratio, medium-resolution spectra of galaxies at redshifts between 1 and 6.5. Here we present the final Public Data Release of the VANDELS Survey, compris...

An ALMA survey of the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey UKIDSS/UDS field: Halo masses for submillimetre galaxies (2021)
Journal Article
Stach, S. M., Smail, I., Amvrosiadis, A., Swinbank, A. M., Dudzevičiūtė, U., Geach, J. E., Almaini, O., Birkin, J. E., Chen, C. C., Conselice, C. J., Cooke, E. A., Coppin, K. E. K., Dunlop, J. S., Farrah, D., Ikarashi, S., Ivison, R. J., & Wardlow, J. L. (2021). An ALMA survey of the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey UKIDSS/UDS field: Halo masses for submillimetre galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 504(1), 172-184. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab714

We present an analysis of the spatial clustering of a large sample of high-resolution, interferometically identified, submillimetre galaxies (SMGs). We measure the projected cross-correlation function of ∼350 SMGs in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep-Survey Fiel...

Infrared lags in the light curves of AGN measured using a deep survey (2021)
Journal Article
Elmer, E., Merrifield, M., Almaini, O., Hartley, W. G., & Maltby, D. T. (2021). Infrared lags in the light curves of AGN measured using a deep survey. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 503(1), L47-L50. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slab023

Information on the structure around active galactic nuclei (AGNs) has long been derived from measuring lags in their varying light output at different wavelengths. In principle, infrared data would reach to larger radii, potentially even probing repr... Read More about Infrared lags in the light curves of AGN measured using a deep survey.

An ALMA survey of the S2CLS UDS field: optically invisible submillimetre galaxies (2021)
Journal Article
Smail, I., Dudzevičiūtė, U., Stach, S. M., Almaini, O., Birkin, J. E., Chapman, S. C., Chen, C.-C., Geach, J. E., Gullberg, B., Hodge, J. A., Ikarashi, S., Ivison, R.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 502(3), 3426-3435. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab283

We analyse a robust sample of 30 near-infrared-faint (KAB > 25.3, 5σ) submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) selected from a 0.96 deg2 field to investigate their properties and the cause of their faintness in optical/near-infrared wavebands. Our analysis expl... Read More about An ALMA survey of the S2CLS UDS field: optically invisible submillimetre galaxies.
