Detecting relics of a thermal gravitational wave background in the early Universe (2009)
Zhao, W., Baskaran, D., Coles, P.
A thermal gravitational wave background can be produced in the early Universe if a radiation dominated epoch precedes the usual inflationary stage. This background provides a unique way to study the...

This paper considers some simple surface brightness (SB) estimates for galaxies in the Automated Plate Measuring Machine (APM) catalogue in order to derive homogeneous SB data for a very large sample...
Cosmic statistics through weak lenses (2002)
Many recent studies have demonstrated that scaling arguments, such as the so-called hierarchical ansatz. are extremely useful in understanding the statistical properties of weak gravitational...
Modelling the X-ray cluster dipole and cluster contribution to the soft X-ray background (1997)
Kolokotronis, V., Plionis, M., Coles, P., Borgani, S.
We investigate the sampling and dipole convergence properties of flux-limited samples of mock X-ray clusters in relation to their underlying ``parent'' cluster distribution. To this purpose, we...
