Richard, Johan, Smith, Graham, Kneib, Jean-Paul, Ellis, Richard, Sanderson, Alastair, Pei, Liuyi, ...
We present a statistical analysis of a sample of 20 strong lensing clusters drawn from the Local Cluster Substructure Survey (LoCuSS), based on high resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the...
Jones, Tucker, Swinbank, Mark, Ellis, Richard, Richard, Johan, Stark, Dan
We present spatially-resolved dynamics for six strongly lensed star-forming galaxies at z=1.7-3.1, each enlarged by a linear magnification factor ~8. Using the Keck laser guide star AO system and the...
Swinbank, Mark, Webb, Tracy, Richard, Johan, Bower, Richard, Ellis, Richard, Illingworth, Garth, ...
We present a detailed study of the spatially resolved kinematics, star-formation and stellar mass in a highly amplified galaxy at z=4.92 behind the lensing cluster MS1358+62. We use the observed...
Coppin, Kristen, Smail, Ian, Alexander, David M., Weiss, Axel, Walter, Fabian, Swinbank, Mark, ...
We report on the identification of the highest redshift submm-selected source currently known: LESSJ033229.4-275619. This source was detected in the Large Apex BOlometer CAmera (LABOCA) Extended...
Kinematics and Formation Mechanisms of High-Redshift Galaxies (2009)
Law, David R., Wright, Shelley A., Ellis, Richard S., Erb, Dawn K., Nesvadba, Nicole, Steidel, Charles C., ...
Recent years have witnessed a substantial increase in our ability to trace the spatially resolved properties of rapidly star-forming galaxies in the high-redshift universe and numerous studies have...
Evidence of a link between the evolution of clusters and their AGN fraction (2009)
Van Breukelen, Caroline, Simpson, Chris, Rawlings, Steve, Akiyama, Masayuki, Bonfield, David, Clewley, Lee, ...
We discuss the optical properties, X-ray detections, and Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) populations of four clusters at z ~ 1 in the Subaru-XMM Deep Field (SXDF). The velocity distribution and...
The formation and assembly of a typical star-forming galaxy at z~3 (2008)
Stark, Daniel P., Swinbank, Mark, Ellis, Richard S., Dye, Simon, Smail, Ian R., Richard, Johan
Recent studies of galaxies ~2-3 Gyr after the Big Bang have revealed large, turbulent rotating systems. The existence of well-ordered rotation in galaxies during this peak epoch of cosmic star...
The Properties of Sub-mm Galaxies in Hierarchical Models (2008)
Swinbank, Mark, Lacey, Cedric, Smail, Ian, Baugh, Carlton, Frenk, Carlos, Blain, Andrew, ...
We use the combined GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation and GRASIL spectrophotometric code to investigate the properties of galaxies selected via their sub-mm emission. Our fiducial...

We have used the IRAM Plateau de Bure mm interferometer and the UKIRT 1-5 um Imager Spectrometer to test the connection between the major phases of spheroid growth and nuclear accretion by mapping CO...
Swinbank, Mark, Smail, Ian, Lindner, Chris, Borys, Colin, Blain, Andrew, ...
We present two-dimensional spectroscopy covering the rest-frame wavelengths of strong optical emission lines in six luminous submillimetre galaxies at z=1.3--2.5. Together with HST ACS and NICMOS...
