Colour Gradients and the Colour-Magnitude Relation: Different Properties of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and E/S0 Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2009)

Roche, Nathan, Bernardi, Mariangela, Hyde, Joseph

We examine the colour-magnitude relation of approximately 5000 Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and compare with non-BCG E/S0 galaxies. The colour-magnitude and...

Southern Cosmology Survey I: Optical Cluster Detections and Predictions for the Southern Common-Area Millimeter-Wave Experiments (2008)

Menanteau, Felipe, Hughes, John P., Jimenez, Raul, Hernandez-Monteagudo, Carlos, Verde, Licia, Kosowsky, Arthur, ...

We present first results from the Southern Cosmology Survey, a new multiwavelength survey of the southern sky coordinated with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), a recently commissioned...

The Kinematics of Arp 295 in H-alpha Emission: an Interacting Galaxy with Highly Asymmetric Rotation (2006)

Roche, Nathan

We investigate Arp 295, a pair of interacting spirals at z=0.023. We measure scalelengths 5.24 kpc for Arp 295a and 2.52 kpc for 295b. There is a much smaller Im galaxy associated with the larger...

Imaging and Spectroscopy of Arp 104: A Post-starburst Interacting Pair with Cross-Fuelling? (2006)

Roche, Nathan

We perform UBR imaging and optical spectroscopy of the interacting galaxy pair Arp 104, at z=0.0098. This consists of NGC5218, a disturbed Sb barred spiral with an inclined outer shell, the round...

Deep GMOS Spectroscopy of Extremely Red Galaxies in GOODS-South: Ellipticals, Mergers and Red Spirals at 1 (2006)

Roche, Nathan, Dunlop, James, Caputi, Karina, McLure, Ross, Willott, Chris, Crampton, David

We have performed a deep spectroscopic survey of extremely red galaxies on the GOODS-South field, using GMOS on Gemini South. We present here spectra and redshifts for 16 ERGs at 0.87

The Nature, Evolution, Clustering and X-ray Properties of Extremely Red Galaxies in the CDFS/GOODS field (2003)

Roche, Nathan, Dunlop, James, Almaini, Omar

We identify a deep sample of 198 extremely red objects (EROs) in (50.4 sq. arcmin of) the Chandra Deep Field South, selected as I-K>3.92 galaxies to a limit K=22. The ERO number counts remain well...

The Morphology of 9 Radio-selected Faint Galaxies from deep HST Imaging (2002)

Roche, Nathan, Lowenthal, James, Koo, David

Using the HST WFPC2 we perform deep I-band imaging of 9 radio-selected (limit 14 microJanskys at 8.5 GHz) faint galaxies from Roche, Lowenthal and Koo (2002). Two are also observed in V. Six of the...

Deep radio imaging of the SCUBA 8-mJy survey fields: sub-mm source identifications and redshift distribution (2002)

Ivison, Rob, Greve, Thomas, Smail, Ian, Dunlop, James, Roche, Nathan, Scott, Susie, ...

The SCUBA 8-mJy survey is the largest submm extragalactic mapping survey undertaken to date, centred on the Lockman Hole and ELAIS N2 regions. Here, we present new 1.4-GHz imaging of the depth and...

The Clustering, Number Counts and Morphology of Extremely Red (R-K>5) Galaxies to K=21 (2002)

Roche, Nathan, Almaini, Omar, Dunlop, James, Ivison, R. J., Willott, Chris

We investigate the number counts, clustering, morphology and radio/X-ray emission of extremely red objects (EROs), defined as galaxies with R-K>5.0. This criterion will select old, passive...

Keck Spectroscopy and Imaging of Faint Galaxies Identified as MicroJansky Radio Sources (2001)

Roche, Nathan, Lowenthal, James, Koo, David

We investigate the nature of the faintest radio sources detected in 3 VLA surveys, to faint limits 8 microJy at 8.5 GHz. Using the Keck Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph in BRI and the Near Infra...

Lyman-alpha Imaging of a Very Luminous z=2.3 Starburst Galaxy with WFPC2 (2000)

Roche, Nathan, Lowenthal, James, Woodgate, Bruce

We investigate a very luminous Lyman-alpha emitting galaxy, associated with a z=2.3 damped absorption system in the spectrum of the QSO PHL 957. The galaxy was observed with the HST WFPC2, through a...

Modelling ISO Galaxy Counts with Luminosity and Merger Rate Evolution (1998)

Roche, Nathan, Eales, Steve

We model galaxy evolution in the 6.75 and 15 micron passbands of the ISO satellite, by combining models of galaxy evolution at optical wavelengths (which are consistent with the optical galaxy...

The Angular Correlation Function of K=19.5 Galaxies and the Detection of a Cluster at z=0.775 (1998)

Roche, Nathan, Eales, Steve, Hippelein, Hans, Willott, Chris

On five K-band Omega camera images, covering a total of 162.2 sq. arcmin to K=19.5, we investigate (i) the clustering environment of 5 radio galaxies at 0.7
