The Swift UVOT grism calibration and example spectra
Paul Kuin, Alice Breeveld, Mat Page
The calibration of the two UVOT grisms which provide slitless spectroscopy in the 170-500 nm (UV grism) and 295-660 nm (visible grism) ranges has been completed. The UV grism has a…
Deep radio imaging of the SCUBA 8-mJy survey fields: sub-mm source identifications and redshift distribution
Rob Ivison, Thomas Greve, Ian Smail +12
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…
What determines the shape of the local (z<0.1) infrared galaxy luminosity function?
Myrto Symeonidis, Mat Page
We investigate what shapes the infrared luminosity function of local galaxies by comparing it to the local infrared AGN luminosity function. The former corresponds to emission from…
The Swift/UVOT catalogue of NGC4321 star forming sources: A case against density wave theory
Ignacio Ferreras, Mark Cropper, Daisuke Kawata +2
We study the star forming regions in the spiral galaxy NGC4321, taking advantage of the spatial resolution (2.5 arcsec FWHM) of the Swift/UVOT camera and the availability of three…
The co-evolution of black hole growth and star formation from a cross-correlation analysis between quasars and the cosmic infrared background
Lingyu Wang, Marco Viero, Nicholas P. Ross +19
We present the first cross-correlation measurement between Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Type 1 quasars and the cosmic infrared background (CIB) measured by Herschel. The distrib…
XMM2ATHENA, the H2020 project to improve XMM-Newton analysis software and prepare for Athena
Natalie A. Webb, Francisco J. Carrera, Axel Schwope +31
XMM-Newton, a European Space Agency observatory, has been observing the X-ray, ultra-violet and optical sky for 23 years. During this time, astronomy has evolved from mainly studyi…
Swift Ultraviolet Observations of Supernova 2014J in M82: Large Extinction from Interstellar Dust
Peter J. Brown, Michael T. Smitka, Lifan Wang +8
We present optical and ultraviolet (UV) photometry and spectra of the very nearby and highly reddened supernova (SN) 2014J in M82 obtained with the Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Teles…
AGN in deep radio/X-ray surveys: hunting the earliest massive galaxies
Nick Seymour, Derek Moss, Ian McHardy +4
Despite the plethora of deep (sub-mJy) radio surveys there remains considerable doubt as to the exact nature of the galaxies contributing to the source counts. Current evidence sug…
State transitions in LMC X-3
Roberto Soria, Mat Page, Kinwah Wu
We carried out a multiwavelenght study of the black-hole candidate LMC X-3 with XMM-Newton. The system showed a transition to a low-hard state, in which the X-ray spectrum was well…
Extremely red objects in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey Early Data Release
Chris Simpson, Omar Almaini, Michele Cirasuolo +9
We construct a sample of extremely red objects (EROs) within the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey by combining the Early Data Release with optical data from the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Fiel…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission
Kirpal Nandra, Didier Barret, Xavier Barcons +237
This White Paper, submitted to the recent ESA call for science themes to define its future large missions, advocates the need for a transformational leap in our understanding of tw…
Testing the Evolutionary Link Between Submillimetre Galaxies and Quasars: CO Observations of QSOs at z~2
Kristen Coppin, Mark Swinbank, Roberto Neri +10
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 accr…
