Reionisation and High-Redshift Galaxies: The View from Quasar Absorption Lines (2015)
Journal Article
Becker, G. D., Bolton, J. S., & Lidz, A. (2015). Reionisation and High-Redshift Galaxies: The View from Quasar Absorption Lines. Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 32, Article e045. https://doi.org/10.1017/pasa.2015.45

Determining when and how the first galaxies reionised the intergalactic medium promises to shed light on both the nature of the first objects and the cosmic history of baryons. Towards this goal, quasar absorption lines play a unique role by probing... Read More about Reionisation and High-Redshift Galaxies: The View from Quasar Absorption Lines.

Propulsion of a two-sphere swimmer (2015)
Journal Article
Klotsa, D., Baldwin, K. A., Hill, R. J., Bowley, R., & Swift, M. R. (2015). Propulsion of a two-sphere swimmer. Physical Review Letters, 115(24), Article 248102. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.248102

We describe experiments and simulations demonstrating the propulsion of a neutrally-buoyant swimmer that consists of a pair of spheres attached by a spring, immersed in a vibrating fluid.
