A CH3CN and HCO+ survey towards southern methanol masers associated with star formation
C. R. Purcell, R. Balasubramanyam, M. G. Burton +32
We present the initial results of a 3-mm spectral line survey towards 83 methanol maser selected massive star-forming regions. Here we report observations of the J=5-4 and 6-5 rota…
The formation of brown dwarfs
A. P. Whitworth, S. P. Goodwin
We review four mechanisms for forming brown dwarfs: (i) turbulent fragmentation (producing very low-mass prestellar cores); (ii) gravitational instabilities in discs; (iii) dynamic…
An investigation of the submillimeter background radiation using SCUBA and Spitzer
S. Dye, S. A. Eales, M. L. N. Ashby +8
We investigate the redshift dependence of the contribution to the extragalactic far-infrared/sub-millimeter background from galaxies detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope at 8um…
Optical/near-infrared colours of early-type galaxies and constraints on their star formation histories
P. A. James, M. Salaris, J. I. Davies +2
(abridged) We introduce and discuss the properties of a theoretical (B-K)-(J-K) integrated colour diagram for single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations. This combination o…
Resolution requirements for simulating gravitational fragmentation using SPH
D. A. Hubber, S. P. Goodwin, A. P. Whitworth
Jeans showed analytically that, in an infinite uniform-density isothermal gas, plane-wave perturbations collapse to dense sheets if their wavelength, , satisfies $λ> λ_{_{\rm JE…
Observational characteristics of dense cores with deeply embedded young protostars
D. Stamatellos, A. P. Whitworth, S. P. Goodwin
Class 0 objects, which are thought to be the youngest protostars, are identified in terms of NIR or radio emission and/or the presence of molecular outflows. We present combined hy…
Expected coalescence rates of NS-NS binaries for laser beam interferometers
J. A. de Freitas Pacheco, T. Regimbau, S. Vincent +1
The coalescence rate of two neutron stars (NS) is revisited. For estimation of the number of bound NS-NS and the probability of their coalescence in a timescale , the galactic s…
Bolocam Survey for 1.1 mm Dust Continuum Emission in the c2d Legacy Clouds. I. Perseus
M. L. Enoch, K. E. Young, J. Glenn +14
We have completed a 1.1 mm continuum survey of 7.5 sq deg of the Perseus Molecular Cloud using Bolocam at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. This represents the largest millime…
COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses II. SDSS J0924+0219: the redshift of the lensing galaxy, the quasar spectral variability and the Einstein rings
A. Eigenbrod, F. Courbin, S. Dye +6
(Abridged) We present our VLT/FORS1 deep spectroscopic observations of the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J0924+0219, as well as archival HST/NICMOS and ACS images of the same…
First ground-based 200-um observing with THUMPER on JCMT - sky characterisation and planet maps
D. Ward-Thompson, P. A. R. Ade, H. Araujo +19
We present observations that were carried out with the Two HUndred Micron PhotometER (THUMPER) mounted on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in Hawaii, at a wavelength of 200…
A Fluctuation Analysis of the Bolocam 1.1mm Lockman Hole Survey
Philip R. Maloney, Jason Glenn, James E. Aguirre +13
We perform a fluctuation analysis of the 1.1mm Bolocam Lockman Hole Survey, which covers 324 square arcmin to a very uniform point source-filtered RMS noise level of 1.4 mJy/beam.…
A Dark Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster Imaged at 21-cm
R. F. Minchin, J. I. Davies, M. J. Disney +10
Dark Matter supposedly dominates the extragalactic, yet no totally dark structure of galactic proportions has ever been convincingly identified. Earlier (Minchin et al. 2005) we su…
XMM-Newton Surveys of the Canada-France Redshift Survey Fields - III: The Environments of X-ray Selected AGN at 0.4<z<0.6
T. J. Waskett, S. A. Eales, W. K. Gear +3
The environmental properties of a sample of 31 hard X-ray selected AGN are investigated, from scales of 500 kpc down to 30 kpc, and are compared to a control sample of inactive gal…
Perturbations of the Yang-Mills field in the universe
Wen Zhao
It has been suggested that the Yang-Mills (YM) field can be a kind of candidate for the inflationary field at high energy scales or the dark energy at very low energy scales, which…
The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) -- I. Survey motivation, design and data processing
A. M. J. Mortier, S. Serjeant, J. S. Dunlop +2
The SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) is a major blank-field extragalactic sub-mm survey underway at the James Clerk Maxwell telescope.SHADES aims to cover half a squ…
