Structures of Local Galaxies Compared to High Redshift Star-forming Galaxies (2009)

Petty, Sara M., De Mello, Duilia F., Gallagher III, John S., Gardner, Jonathan P., Lotz, Jennifer M., Mountain, C. Matt, ...

The rest-frame far-ultraviolet (FUV) morphologies of 8 nearby interacting and starburst galaxies (Arp 269, M 82, Mrk 8, NGC 520, NGC 1068, NGC 3079, NGC 3310, NGC 7673) are compared with 54 galaxies...

Galaxies And Dust At High Redshift (2007)

Richard Hunstead, Max Pettini, David King, Linda J. Smith

Much of our knowledge about the formation and evolution of high-redshift galaxies has come from studying the absorption signatures they impress on the spectra of background QSOs. The damped Lyman ff...

Stellar properties of Galactic Centre He i sources (2007)

Luc Dessart, Paul A. Crowther, Linda J. Smith, Bruce Bohannan

The Galactic Centre (GC) region has recently attracted a lot of attention from the hot star community following the discovery of numerous He i emission line sources (Krabbe et al. 1991). Recent...

A Massive Star Odyssey, from Main Sequence to Supernova (2007)

Proceedings Iau Symposium, Linda J. Smith, Paul A. Crowther

Recent advances in atmosphere codes now permit the calculation of realistic grids of hot star atmospheres. Here we use the new O and WR star atmosphere of Smith, Norris & Crowther (2002) with an...

Realistic Ionizing Fluxes for Young Stellar Populations from 0.05 to twice solar metallicity (2002)

Smith, Linda J., Norris, Richard P. F., Crowther, Paul A.

We present a new grid of ionizing fluxes for O and Wolf-Rayet stars for use with evolutionary synthesis codes and single star H II region analyses. A total of 230 expanding, non-LTE, line-blanketed...

Chemical composition and origin of nebulae around Luminous Blue Variables (2001)

Nota, Antonella, Panagia, Nino, Smith, Linda J., Langer, Norbert

We use the analysis of the heavy element abundances (C, N, O, S) in circumstellar nebulae around Luminous Blue Variables to infer the evolutionary phase in which the material has been ejected. (1) We...

NaSt1: A Wolf-Rayet star cloaked by an eta Car--like nebula? (1999)

Crowther, Paul A., Smith, Linda J.

We present a study of the peculiar Galactic emission line object NaSt1 (WR122, IRAS 18497+0056) which has previously been classified as a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star. Our spectroscopic dataset comprises...

Stellar Populations and Ages of M82 Super Star Clusters (1998)

Gallagher, John S., Smith, Linda J.

We present high signal-to-noise optical spectra of two luminous super star clusters in the starburst galaxy M82. The data for cluster F and the nearby, highly reddened cluster L were obtained with...

The Metallicity of High Redshift Galaxies: The Abundance of Zinc in 34 Damped Lyman Alpha Systems from z = 0.7 to 3.4 (1997)

Pettini, Max, Smith, Linda J., King, David L., Hunstead, Richard W.

We report new observations of ZnII and CrII absorption lines in 10 damped \lya systems (DLAs), mostly at redshift $z_{abs} \simgt 2.5$ . By combining these results with those from our earlier survey...

Cardiopulmonary bypass tubes and prime solutions stimulate neutrophil adhesion molecules (1997)

El Habbal, Magdi H, Smith, Linda J, Elliott, Martin J, Strobel, Stephan

Objective: To evaluate effects of the material of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) tubes (polyvinyl chloride, PVC) and prime solutions on expression of neutrophil adhesion molecule CD11b and...

Dust in High Redshift Galaxies (1996)

Pettini, Max, King, David L, Smith, Linda J, Hunstead, Richard W

Measurements of Zn and Cr abundances in damped Lyman alpha systems at absorption redshifts between 0.692 and 3.390 show that metals and dust are much less abundant in high redshift galaxies than in...

Lyman alpha Emission from High-Redshift Galaxies (1995)

Pettini, Max, Hunstead, Richard W., King, David L., Smith, Linda J.

We summarise the results of a deep search for Lyman alpha emission from star-forming regions associated with damped Lyman alpha absorption systems and conclude that the Lyman alpha luminosity of high...

Neutrophil activation in paediatric extracorporeal circuits: effect of circulation and temperature variation (1995)

El Habbal, Magdi H, Carter, Helen, Smith, Linda J, Elliott, Martin J, Strobel, Stephan

Objective: Upregulation of neutrophil adhesion molecules (CD11b and L-selectin) and release of a modulating cytokine (IL8) have been reported in vivo and in vitro in adult cardiopulmonary bypass. The...

Structural studies of adsorbed proteins. (1992)

Smith, Linda J.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of East Anglia, 1992.

The Effect of Dephosphorylation on the Conformation of Peptides from β-Casein (1992)

Clark, David C., Smith, Linda J., Chaplin, Lesley C.

Peptides β(1-28) and β(1-52) incorporating residues 1-28 and 1-52 of β-casein were prepared by proteolysis of the protein using plasmin and chymotrypsin respectively. Analysis of the circular...
