The Evolutionary History of Lyman Break Galaxies Between Redshift 4 and 6: Observing Successive Generations of Massive Galaxies in Formation (2009)

Stark, Daniel P., Ellis, Richard S., Bunker, Andrew, Bundy, Kevin, Targett, Tom, Benson, Andrew, ...

We present new measurements of the evolution in the Lyman break galaxy (LBG) population between z ≃ 4 and z ≃ 6. By utilizing the extensive multiwavelength data sets available in the GOODS...

Additions to a Design Tool for Visualizing the Energy Implications of California's Climates (2009)

Milne, Murray, Liggett, Robin, Benson, Andrew, Bhattacharya, Yasmin

In California there are 16 different climate zones as defined in the California Energy code (Title 24). The code requires slightly different types of buildings in each zone. These different building...

Hot gas halos around disk galaxies: Confronting cosmological simulations with observations (2009)

Rasmussen, Jesper, Sommer-Larsen, Jesper, Pedersen, Kristian, Toft, Sune, Benson, Andrew, Bower, Richard G., ...

Models of disk galaxy formation commonly predict the existence of an extended reservoir of accreted hot gas surrounding massive spirals at low redshift. As a test of these models, we use X-ray and...

Strong gravitational lensing probes of the particle nature of dark matter (2009)

Moustakas, Leonidas A., Abazajian, Kevork, Benson, Andrew, Bolton, Adam S., Bullock, James S., Chen, Jacqueline, ...

There is a vast menagerie of plausible candidates for the constituents of dark matter, both within and beyond extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Each of these candidates may have...

The Evolutionary History of Lyman Break Galaxies Between Redshift 4 and 6: Observing Successive Generations of Massive Galaxies in Formation (2009)

Stark, Daniel P., Ellis, Richard S., Bunker, Andrew, Bundy, Kevin, Targett, Tom, Benson, Andrew, ...

We present new measurements of the evolution in the Lyman break galaxy (LBG) population between z~4 and z~6. By utilizing the extensive multiwavelength datasets available in the GOODS fields, we...

A Prototype for Multiple Whole Genome Alignment ∗ (2008)

Jitender S. Deogun, Fangrui Ma, Jingyi Yang, Andrew Benson

In this paper, we briefly describe a prototype of the software system we have developed for multiple whole genome alignment. To develop our algorithm, we have to solve several problems including...

The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey – VI. 350-μm mapping of submillimetre galaxies (2008)

Coppin, Kristen, Halpern, Mark, Scott, Douglas, Borys, Colin, Dunlop, James S., Dunne, Loretta, ...

A follow-up survey using the Submillimetre High-Angular Resolution Camera (SHARC-II) at 350 μm has been carried out to map the regions around several 850-μm-selected sources from the Submillimetre...

A Prototype for Multiple Whole Genome Alignment ∗ (2007)

Jitender S. Deogun, Fangrui Ma, Jingyi Yang, Andrew Benson

In this paper, we briefly describe a prototype of the software system we have developed for multiple whole genome alignment. To develop our algorithm, we have to solve several problems including...

The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) -- VI. 350 micron mapping of submillimetre galaxies (2007)

Coppin, Kristen, Halpern, Mark, Scott, Douglas, Borys, Colin, Dunlop, James, Dunne, Loretta, ...

A follow-up survey using the Submillimetre High-Angular Resolution Camera (SHARC-II) at 350 microns has been carried out to map the regions around several 850 micron-selected sources from the...

Investigating hot gas in the halos of two massive spirals: Observations and cosmological simulations (2006)

Rasmussen, Jesper, Sommer-Larsen, Jesper, Pedersen, Kristian, Toft, Sune, Benson, Andrew, Bower, Richard G., ...

Models of disk galaxy formation commonly predict the existence of an extended reservoir of hot gas surrounding massive spirals at low redshift. As a test of these models, we have obtained X-ray and...

Entropy Injection as a Global Feedback Mechanism (2002)

Oh, S. Peng, Benson, Andrew

Both preheating of the intergalactic medium and radiative cooling of low entropy gas have been proposed to explain the deviation from self-similarity in the cluster L_x-T_x relation and the observed...

Galaxy formation using halo merger histories taken from N-body simulations (2002)

Helly, John C., Cole, Shaun, Frenk, Carlos S., Baugh, Carlton M., Benson, Andrew, Lacey, Cedric

We develop a hybrid galaxy formation model which uses outputs from an N-body simulation to follow the merger histories (or ``merger trees'') of dark matter halos and treats baryonic processes, such...

Statistics of Neutral Regions During Hydrogen Re-Ionization (2002)

Nusser, Adi, Benson, Andrew, Sugiyama, Naoshi, Lacey, Cedric

We present predictions for two statistical measures of the hydrogen reionization process at high redshift. The first statistic is the number of neutral segments identified in spectra of high redshift...

A Comparison of Gas Dynamics in SPH and Semi-analytic Models of Galaxy Formation (2002)

Helly, John C., Cole, Shaun, Frenk, Carlos S., Baugh, Carlton M., Benson, Andrew, Lacey, Cedric, ...

We compare the results of two techniques used to calculate the evolution of cooling gas during galaxy formation: Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations and semi-analytic modelling. We...

The Evolution of Galaxy Clustering in Hierarchical Models (1999)

Cole, Shaun, Benson, Andrew, Baugh, Carlton, Lacey, Cedric, Frenk, Carlos

The main ingredients of recent semi-analytic models of galaxy formation are summarised. We present predictions for the galaxy clustering properties of a well specified LCDM model whose parameters are...
