MegaMorph - multiwavelength measurement of galaxy structure: physically meaningful bulge-disc decomposition of galaxies near and far (2014)
Journal Article
Vika, M., Bamford, S. P., Haussler, B., & Rojas, A. L. (2014). MegaMorph - multiwavelength measurement of galaxy structure: physically meaningful bulge-disc decomposition of galaxies near and far. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 444(4), https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1696

Bulge–disc decomposition is a valuable tool for understanding galaxies. However, achieving robust measurements of component properties is difficult, even with high-quality imaging, and it becomes even more so with the imaging typical of large surveys...

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the wavelength-dependent sizes and profiles of galaxies revealed by MegaMorph (2014)
Journal Article
Vulcani, B., Bamford, S. P., Häußler, B., Vika, M., Rojas, A. L., Agius, N., …Tuffs, R. J. (in press). Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the wavelength-dependent sizes and profiles of galaxies revealed by MegaMorph. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 441(2), 1340-1362. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu632

We investigate the relationship between colour and structure within galaxies using a large, volume-limited sample of bright, low-redshift galaxies with optical–near-infrared imaging from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey. We fit single-component, w... Read More about Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the wavelength-dependent sizes and profiles of galaxies revealed by MegaMorph.

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.
