Cosmology with Weak Lensing Surveys (2006)

Munshi, D., Valageas, P., Van Waerbeke, L., Heavens, A.

Weak gravitational lensing is responsible for the shearing and magnification of the images of high-redshift sources due to the presence of intervening matter. The distortions are due to fluctuations...

The Lyman-alpha forest according to LUQAS (2004)

Viel, M., Haehnelt, M., Carswell, B., Cristiani, S., Heavens, A., ...

We use the LUQAS sample of 27 high resolution, high signal-to-noise QSO absorption spectra (Kim et al. 2004) and the results from Croft et al. (2002) together with a suite of high-resolution...

The bispectrum of the Lyman-alpha forest at z~2-2.4 from a Large sample of UVES QSO Absorption Spectra (LUQAS) (2003)

Viel, M., Matarrese, S., Heavens, A., Haehnelt, M. G., Springel, V., ...

We present a determination of the bispectrum of the flux in the Lyman-alpha forest of QSO absorption spectra obtained from LUQAS which consists of spectra observed with the high resolution Echelle...

Multiple Methods for Estimating the Bispectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background with Application to the MAXIMA Data (2002)

Santos, M. G., Heavens, A., Balbi, A., Borrill, J., Ferreira, P. G., Hanany, S., ...

We describe different methods for estimating the bispectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background data. In particular we construct a minimum variance estimator for the flat-sky limit and compare results...

The role of star formation in the Tully-Fisher law (1999)

Heavens, A., Jimenez, R.

We investigate the influence of the star formation rate on the Tully-Fisher relation. We find that a simple model which combines the empirically-determined star-formation rate with the expected...

Large-scale bias in the Universe: bispectrum method (1997)

Matarrese, S., Verde, L., Heavens, A.

Evidence that the Universe may be close to the critical density, required for its expansion eventually to be halted, comes principally from dynamical studies of large-scale structure. These studies...
