Does the Universe Accelerate Equally in all Directions?
R. Cooke, D. Lynden-Bell
We employ the Union compilation of Type Ia supernovae with a maximum likelihood analysis to search for a dark energy dipole. To approach this problem, we present a simple, computat…
Discovery of a Damped Lya Absorber at z = 3.3 along a galaxy sight-line in the SSA22 field
K. Mawatari, A. K. Inoue, K. Kousai +5
Using galaxies as background light sources to map the Lya absorption lines is a novel approach to study Damped Lya Absorbers (DLAs). We report the discovery of an intervening z = 3…
Cosmology and fundamental physics with the ELT-ANDES spectrograph
C. J. A. P. Martins, R. Cooke, J. Liske +20
State-of-the-art 19th century spectroscopy led to the discovery of quantum mechanics, and 20th century spectroscopy led to the confirmation of quantum electrodynamics. State-of-the…
Lessons Learned from the Two Largest Galaxy Morphological Classification Catalogues built by Convolutional Neural Networks
Ting-Yun Cheng, H. DomÃnguez Sánchez, J. Vega-Ferrero +54
We compare the two largest galaxy morphology catalogues, which separate early and late type galaxies at intermediate redshift. The two catalogues were built by applying supervised…
The MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF). I. Discovery of a group of Ly nebulae associated with a bright quasar pair
E. Lusso, M. Fumagalli, M. Fossati +17
We present first results from Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) observations at the Very Large Telescope in the MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF), a arcmi…
CUBES, the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph
S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcalá, S. H. P. Alencar +74
In the era of Extremely Large Telescopes, the current generation of 8-10m facilities are likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelengths for the foreseeable future. The Casse…
