Constraints on the Unseen Galaxy Population from the Lyman-alpha Forest

Kenneth M. Lanzetta, Hsiao-Wen Chen, John K. Webb +1

Here we describe results of our attempt to determine what types of galaxies are responsible for the Lyman-alpha forest absorption systems, based on our ongoing imaging and spectros…

Environmental Effects on the Faint End of the Luminosity Function

S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones, R. M. Smith +2

Recent studies have demonstrated that many galaxy clusters have luminosity functions (LFs) which are steep at the faint end. However, it is equally clear that not all clusters have…

Measurements of Omega and Lambda from 42 High-Redshift Supernovae

S. Perlmutter, G. Aldering, G. Goldhaber +29

We report measurements of the mass density, Omega_M, and cosmological-constant energy density, Omega_Lambda, of the universe based on the analysis of 42 Type Ia supernovae discover…

The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey: The Number of Unresolved Compact Galaxies

M. J. Drinkwater, S. Phillipps, M. D. Gregg +5

We describe a sample of thirteen bright (18.5<Bj<20.1) compact galaxies at low redshift (0.05<z<0.21) behind the Fornax Cluster. These galaxies are unresolved on UK Schmidt sky sur…

Omega_lambda, Omega_m ! We know you're in there. We've got you surrounded. Come out with your hands up

Charles H. Lineweaver

Recent cosmic microwave background measurements combined with recent supernovae limits and other observational data have ambushed Omega_lambda and Omega_m. These cosmological culpr…

The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey --- Low Surface Brightness Galaxies in Fornax

M. J. Drinkwater, S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones

The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey is a large optical spectroscopic survey of ALL 14,000 objects with 16.5<Bj<19.7 in a 12 sq.deg area of sky centered on the Fornax Cluster. We are us…
