SCUBA-2 Ultra Deep Imaging EAO Survey (STUDIES): faint-end counts at 450 ?m (2017)
Journal Article
Wang, W., Lin, W., Lim, C., Smail, I., Chapman, S. C., Zheng, X. Z., …Wardlow, J. L. (2017). SCUBA-2 Ultra Deep Imaging EAO Survey (STUDIES): faint-end counts at 450 μm. Astrophysical Journal, 850(1), https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa911b

The SCUBA-2 Ultra Deep Imaging EAO Survey (STUDIES) is a three-year JCMT Large Program aiming to reach the 450 μm confusion limit in the COSMOS-CANDELS region to study a representative sample of the high-redshift far-infrared galaxy population that g...

The UKIRT Hemisphere Survey: definition and J-band data release (2017)
Journal Article
Dye, S., Lawrence, A., Read, M., Fan, X., Kerr, T., Varricatt, W., …Tedds, J. (2018). The UKIRT Hemisphere Survey: definition and J-band data release. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(4), 5113-5125. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2622

This paper defines the UK Infra-Red Telescope (UKIRT) Hemisphere Survey (UHS) and release of the remaining ∼12 700 deg2 of J-band survey data products. The UHS will provide continuous J- and K-band coverage in the Northern hemisphere from a declinati... Read More about The UKIRT Hemisphere Survey: definition and J-band data release.

CANDELS: Elevated black hole growth in the progenitors of compact quiescent galaxies at z ? 2 (2017)
Journal Article
Kocevski, D. D., Barro, G., Faber, S., Dekel, A., Somerville, R. S., Young, J. A., …Yan, H. (2017). CANDELS: Elevated black hole growth in the progenitors of compact quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 2. Astrophysical Journal, 846(2), https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa8566

We examine the fraction of massive (M* > 1010 M) compact star-forming galaxies (cSFGs) that host an active galactic nucleus (AGN) at z ~ 2. These cSFGs are likely the direct progenitors of the compact quiescent galaxies observed at this epoch, which...

Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids (2017)
Journal Article
Almaini, O., Wild, V., Maltby, D. T., Hartley, W. G., Simpson, C., Hatch, N. A., …Rowlands, K. (2017). Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 472(2), 1401-1412. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx1957

We investigate the relationship between the quenching of star formation and the structural transformation of massive galaxies, using a large sample of photometrically-selected poststarburst galaxies in the UKIDSS UDS field. We find that post-starburs... Read More about Massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1 are compact proto-spheroids.

Enhancement of AGN in a protocluster at z=1.6 (2017)
Journal Article
Krishnan, C., Hatch, N. A., Almaini, O., Kocevski, D., Cooke, E. A., Hartley, W. G., …Simpson, C. (2017). Enhancement of AGN in a protocluster at z=1.6. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 470(2), 2170-2178. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx1315

We investigate the prevalence of AGN in the high-redshift protocluster Cl 0218.3–0510 at z = 1.62. Using imaging from the Chandra X-ray Telescope, we find a large overdensity of AGN in the protocluster; a factor of 23±9 times the field density of AGN...

A consistent measure of the merger histories of massive galaxies using close-pair statistics I: Major mergers at z < 3:5 (2017)
Journal Article
Mundy, C. J., Conselice, C. J., Duncan, K. J., Almaini, O., Häußler, B., & Hartley, W. G. (2017). A consistent measure of the merger histories of massive galaxies using close-pair statistics I: Major mergers at z < 3:5. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 470(3), 3507–3531. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx1238

We use a large sample of ?350,000 galaxies constructed by combining the UKIDSS UDS, VIDEO/CFHT-LS, UltraVISTA/COSMOS and GAMA survey regions to probe the major merging histories of massive galaxies (>1010 M?) at 0.00510?4 Mpc?3, and find rates a fact...

Journal Article
Simpson, J., Smail, I., Swinbank, A., Ivison, R., Dunlop, J., Geach, J., …Werf, P. V. D. (2017). The SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey: multi-wavelength properties of ALMA-identified submillimeter galaxies in UKIDSS UDS. Astrophysical Journal, 839(1), Article 58. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa65d0

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of 52 submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), identified using ALMA 870 μm continuum imaging in a pilot program to precisely locate bright SCUBA-2-selected submillimeter sources in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) fiel...
