Beta, Local SNIa data and the Great Attractor
John Lucey, David Radburn-Smith, Mike Hudson
We compare the measured peculiar velocities of 98 local (<150/h Mpc) type Ia supernovae (SNIa) with predictions derived from the PSCz. There is excellent agreement between the two…
UNIONS: a direct measurement of intrinsic alignment with BOSS/eBOSS spectroscopy
Fabian Hervas Peters, Martin Kilbinger, Romain Paviot +12
During their formation, galaxies are subject to tidal forces, which create correlations between their shapes and the large-scale structure of the Universe, known as intrinsic align…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer: the Composition and Dynamics of the Faint Universe
Alan McConnachie, Carine Babusiaux, Michael Balogh +173
MSE is an 11.25m aperture observatory with a 1.5 square degree field of view that will be fully dedicated to multi-object spectroscopy. More than 3200 fibres will feed spectrograph…
Discovery of a new Local Group Dwarf Galaxy Candidate in UNIONS: Boötes V
Simon E. T. Smith, Jaclyn Jensen, Joel Roediger +12
We present the discovery of Boötes V, a new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidate. This satellite is detected as a resolved overdensity of stars during an ongoing search for new Loca…
