The Look of Van Dyck: The Self-Portrait with a Sunflower and the Vision of the Painter (2006)

Peacock, John

Based on a close study of Van Dyck's Self-portrait with a Sunflower, this book examines the picture's context in the symbolic discourses of the period and in the artist's oeuvre. The portrait is...

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: the local E+A galaxy population (2004)

Blake, Chris, Pracy, Michael, Couch, Warrick, Bekki, Kenji, Lewis, Ian, Glazebrook, Karl, ...

We select a sample of low-redshift (z ~ 0.1) E+A galaxies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The spectra of these objects are defined by strong hydrogen Balmer absorption lines (H-delta,...

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The blue galaxy fraction and implications for the Butcher-Oemler effect (2004)

De Propris, Roberto, Colless, Matthew, Peacock, John, Couch, Warrick, Driver, Simon, Balogh, Michael, ...

We derive the fraction of blue galaxies in a sample of clusters at z < 0.11 and the general field at the same redshift. The value of the blue fraction is observed to depend on the luminosity limit...

Synthetic stellar populations: single stellar populations, stellar interior models and primordial proto-galaxies (2004)

Jimenez, Raul, MacDonald, James, Dunlop, James, Padoan, Paolo, Peacock, John

We present a new set of stellar interior and synthesis models for predicting the integrated emission from stellar populations in star clusters and galaxies of arbitrary age and metallicity. This work...

HST Imaging of a z=1.55 Old Galaxy Group (2002)

Bunker, Andrew, Spinrad, Hyron, McLure, Ross, Dey, Arjun, Dunlop, James, Peacock, John, ...

We present high-resolution imaging in the rest-frame optical of the weak radio source LBDS53W091. Previous optical spectroscopy has shown that this object has an evolved stellar population of age...

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The environmental dependence of galaxy star formation rates near clusters (2002)

Lewis, Ian, Balogh, Michael, De Propris, Roberto, Couch, Warrick, Bower, Richard, Offer, Alison, ...

We have measured the equivalent width of the H-alpha emission line for 11006 galaxies brighter than M_b=-19 (LCDM) at 0.05

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: A targeted study of catalogued clusters of galaxies (2001)

De Propris, Roberto, Couch, Warrick, Colless, Matthew, Dalton, Gavin, Collins, Chris, Baugh, Carlton, ...

We have carried out a study of known clusters within the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) observed areas and have identified 431 Abell, 173 APM and 343 EDCC clusters. Precise redshifts, velocity...

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Near Infrared Galaxy Luminosity Functions (2000)

Cole, Shaun, Norberg, Peder, Baugh, Carlton, Frenk, Carlos, Bland-Hawthorn, Joss, Bridges, Terry, ...

We combine the 2MASS extended source catalogue and the 2dFGRS to produce an IR selected galaxy catalogue with 17,173 measured redshifts. We use this extensive dataset to estimate the J and K-band...

Premature dismissal of high-redshift elliptical galaxies (1998)

Jimenez, Raul, Friaca, Amancio, Dunlop, James, Terlevich, Roberto, Peacock, John, Nolan, Louisa

It has recently been argued that single-collapse high-redshift models for elliptical galaxy formation can be rejected because they predict large numbers of very red galaxies at intermediate redshifts...

A Submillimetre Survey of the Hubble Deep Field: Unveiling Dust-Enshrouded Star Formation in the Early Universe (1998)

Hughes, David H., Dunlop, James, Rowan-Robinson, Michael, Serjeant, Steve, Blain, Andrew, Mann, Robert G., ...

The advent of sensitive sub-mm array cameras now allows a proper census of dust-enshrouded massive star-formation in very distant galaxies, previously hidden activity to which even the deepest...

Unveiling Dust-enshrouded Star Formation in the Early Universe: a Sub-mm Survey of the Hubble Deep Field (1998)

Hughes, David, Serjeant, Steve, Dunlop, James, Rowan-Robinson, Michael, Blain, Andrew, Mann, Robert G., ...

The advent of sensitive sub-mm array cameras now allows a proper census of dust-enshrouded massive star-formation in very distant galaxies, previously hidden activity to which even the faintest...

Eulerian bias and the galaxy density field (1997)

Mann, Bob, Peacock, John, Heavens, Alan

We investigate the effects on cosmological clustering statistics of empirical biasing, where the galaxy distribution is a local transformation of the present-day Eulerian density field. The effects...

LBDS 53W091: An Old red Galaxy at z=1.552 (1997)

Spinrad, Hyron, Dey, Arjun, Stern, Daniel, Dunlop, James, Peacock, John, Jimenez, Raul, ...

The weak radio source LBDS 53W091 is associated with a very faint (R approx. 24.5) red (R-K approx. 5.8) galaxy. Long spectroscopic integrations with the W. M. Keck telescope have provided an...

The radio background: radio-loud galaxies at high and low redshifts (1993)

Peacock, John

The majority of this paper is devoted to discrete radio sources, and their consequences for cosmology. Three main issues are considered: (i) what makes a galaxy radio loud?; (ii) what do we know...

Genes for Neuronal Properties Expressed in Neuroblastoma × L Cell Hybrids

Minna, John, Nelson, Phillip, Peacock, John, Glazer, Devera, Nirenberg, Marshall

Neuroblastoma cells with electrically excitable membranes were fused with electrically passive L cells having a hitherto undescribed electrical marker. Hybrid cells, examined 10-40 generations after...

An Active Electrical Response in Fibroblasts

Nelson, Phillip G., Peacock, John, Minna, John

L cells have a resting potential of about -16 mv (internal negative) at 37°C in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 10% fetal calf serum and a potassium concentration of 5.4 mM. Membrane...
