Dark matter haloes determine the masses of supermassive black holes (2009)
The energy and momentum deposited by the radiation from accretion onto the supermassive black holes (BHs) that reside at the centres of virtually all galaxies can halt or even reverse gas inflow,...
Metal-line emission from the warm-hot intergalactic medium: I. Soft X-rays (2009)
Bertone, Serena, Schaye, Joop, Vecchia, Claudio Dalla, Booth, C. M., Theuns, Tom, Wiersma, Robert P. C.
Emission lines from metals offer one of the most promising ways to detect the elusive warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM; 10^5 K 10^3 rho_mean) and metal-rich (Z>Z_sun) gas in and around galaxies...
The physics driving the cosmic star formation history (2009)
Schaye, Joop, Vecchia, Claudio Dalla, Booth, C. M., Wiersma, Robert P. C., Theuns, Tom, Haas, Marcel R., ...
We investigate the physics driving the cosmic star formation (SF) history using the more than fifty large, cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations that together comprise the OverWhelmingly Large...
(Abridged) We present a method that tracks the growth of supermassive black holes (BHs) and the feedback from AGN in cosmological simulations. Our model is a substantially modified version of the one...
Damped Lyman Alpha Systems in Galaxy Formation Simulations (2008)
Pontzen, Andrew, Governato, Fabio, Pettini, Max, Booth, C. M., Stinson, Greg, Wadsley, James, ...
We investigate the population of z=3 damped Lyman alpha absorbers (DLAs) in a recent series of high resolution galaxy formation simulations. The simulations are of interest because they form at z=0...
Neutral hydrogen in galactic fountains (2007)
Simulations of an isolated Milky Way-like galaxy, in which supernovae power a galactic fountain, reproduce the observed velocity and 21cm brightness statistics of galactic neutral hydrogen (HI). The...
Molecular cloud regulated star formation in galaxies. (2007)
Booth, C. M., Theuns, T., Okamoto, T.
We describe a numerical implementation of star formation in disc galaxies, in which the conversion of cooling gas to stars in the multiphase interstellar medium is governed by the rate at which...

Brooks, A. M., Governato, F., Booth, C. M., Willman, B., Gardner, J. P., Wadsley, J., ...
We examine the origin and evolution of the mass-metallicity relationship (MZR, M-Z) for galaxies using high resolution cosmological SPH + N-Body simulations that include a physically motivated...
High pressure paint gun injuries.
Despite their use for the past 20 years the dangers of injuries from high pressure paint guns are not widely known. Two cases treated incorrectly through ignorance in our casualty department resulted...

The cost effectiveness of a nurse-led shared-care prostate assessment clinic.
Dasgupta, P., Drudge-Coates, L., Smith, K., Booth, C. M.
OBJECTIVE: Nurse-led prostate clinics (NPCs) have proved to be a highly effective method of assessing patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and most urology units now run such clinics....
