Observations of YSO Circumstellar Discs
D. Ward-Thompson, P. Andre, O. P. Lay
We present the results of short baseline interferometry observations at submillimetre wavelengths, using a two-element interferometer comprising the JCMT and CSO, of circumstellar…
The initial conditions of isolated star formation: IV - C18O observations and modelling of the pre-stellar core L1689B
N. E. Jessop, D. Ward-Thompson
We present C18O observations of the pre-stellar core L1689B, in the (J=3-2) and (J=2-1) rotational transitions, taken at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii. We use a lambd…
A study of the gravitational wave form from pulsars
S. R. Valluri, F. A. Chishtie, R. G. Biggs +3
We present analytical and numerical studies of the Fourier transform (FT) of the gravitational wave (GW) signal from a pulsar,taking into account the rotation of the Earth for a on…
Foregrounds in the BOOMERANG-LDB data: a preliminary rms analysis
S. Masi, P. A. R. Ade, J. Bock +18
We present a preliminary analysis of the BOOMERanG LDB maps, focused on foregrounds. BOOMERanG detects dust emission at moderately low galactic latitudes () in bands cen…
Detection of anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background at horizon and sub-horizon scales with the BOOMERanG experiment
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +35
BOOMERanG has recently resolved structures on the last scattering surface at redshift 1100 with high signal to noise ratio. We review the technical advances which made this…
The Evolution of Ly-alpha Absorbing Galaxies
Suzanne M. Linder
The evolution of Ly-alpha absorber counts is simulated for a model population of absorbing galaxies. The distribution of gas relative to galaxies could evolve between moderate and…
The radio luminosity function from the low-frequency 3CRR, 6CE & 7CRS complete samples
Chris J. Willott, Steve Rawlings, Katherine M. Blundell +2
We measure the radio luminosity function (RLF) of steep-spectrum radio sources using three redshift surveys of flux-limited samples selected at low (151 & 178 MHz) radio frequency,…
A deep submillimetre survey of the Galactic Centre
D. Pierce-Price, J. S. Richer, J. S. Greaves +13
We present first results from a submillimetre continuum survey of the Galactic Centre `Central Molecular Zone' (CMZ), made with SCUBA on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. SCUBA's…
An empirical model for protostellar collapse
A. P. Whitworth, D. Ward-Thompson
We propose a new analytic model for the initial conditions of protostellar collapse in relatively isolated regions of star formation. The model is non-magnetic, and is based on a P…
The Chemical Evolution of the Universe I: High Column Density Absorbers
G. P. Mathlin, A. C. Baker, D. K. Churches +1
We construct a simple, robust model of the chemical evolution of galaxies from high to low redshift, and apply it to published observations of damped Lyman-alpha quasar absorption…
The Canada-UK Deep Submillimetre Survey: The Survey of the 14-hour field
Stephen Eales, Simon Lilly, Tracy Webb +4
We have used SCUBA to survey an area of 50 square arcmin, detecting 19 sources down to a 3sigma sensitivity limit of 3.5 mJy at 850 microns. We have used Monte-Carlo simulations to…
The Case Against Cosmology
M. J. Disney
It is argued that some of the recent claims for cosmology are grossly overblown. Cosmology rests on a very small database: it suffers from many fundamental difficulties as a scienc…
Gravitational Wave Astronomy: in Anticipation of First Sources to be Detected
L. P. Grishchuk, V. M. Lipunov, K. A. Postnov +2
The first generation of long-baseline laser interferometric detectors of gravitational waves will start collecting data in 2001-2003. We carefully analyse their planned performance…
High spatial resolution observations of CUDSS14A: a SCUBA-selected Ultraluminous galaxy at high redshift
W. K. Gear, S. J. Lilly, J. A. Stevens +4
We present a high-resolution millimetre interferometric image of the brightest SCUBA-selected galaxy from the Canada-UK deep SCUBA survey (CUDSS). We make a very clear detection at…
Cosmology from Maxima-1, Boomerang and COBE/DMR CMB Observations
A. H. Jaffe, P. A. R. Ade, A. Balbi +39
Recent results from BOOMERANG-98 and MAXIMA-1, taken together with COBE-DMR, provide consistent and high signal-to-noise measurements of the CMB power spectrum at spherical harmoni…
An ISOCAM Absorption Survey of the Structure of Pre-stellar Cloud Cores
Aurore Bacmann, Philippe Andre, Jean-Loup Puget +3
We present the results of a mid-infrared (7 micron) imaging survey of a sample of 24 starless dense cores carried out at an angular resolution of 6 arcsec with the ISOCAM camera ab…
First Observations of the Magnetic Field Geometry in Pre-stellar Cores
D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk, R. M. Crutcher +3
We present the first published maps of magnetic fields in pre-stellar cores, to test theoretical ideas about the way in which the magnetic field geometry affects the star formation…
A Flat Universe from High-Resolution Maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. Bock +33
The blackbody radiation left over from the Big Bang has been transformed by the expansion of the Universe into the nearly isotropic 2.73K Cosmic Microwave Background. Tiny inhomoge…
On The Cosmic Origins Of Carbon And Nitrogen
R. B. C. Henry, M. G. Edmunds, J. Koeppen
We analyze the behavior of N/O and C/O abundance ratios as a function of metallicity as gauged by O/H in large, extant Galactic and extragalactic H II region abundance samples. Num…
Dust properties of external galaxies; NGC 891 revisited
P. B. Alton, E. M. Xilouris, S. Bianchi +2
We compare 850um SCUBA images of NGC 891 with the corresponding V-band optical depth predicted from radiation transfer simulations. These two tracers of dust show a very similar di…
