The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: the luminosity function of cluster galaxies

Roberto De Propris, M. Colless, S. Driver +27

We have determined the composite luminosity function (LF) for galaxies in 60 clusters from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The LF spans the range , and is…

Origin of the metallicity distribution of the NGC 5128 stellar halo

Kenji Bekki, William E. Harris, Gretchen L. H. Harris

Recent {\it Hubble Space Telescope} photometry in the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 shows that its halo field star population is dominated by moderately metal-rich stars, with…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: correlation functions, peculiar velocities and the matter density of the Universe

E. Hawkins, S. Maddox, S. Cole +27

We present a detailed analysis of the two-point correlation function, from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). We estimate the redshift-space correlation function, xi(s), from…

A 22GHz search for molecular absorption at z~3 with the upgraded ATCA

S. J. Curran, M. T. Murphy, J. K. Webb +1

We report a lambda > 1cm search for rotational molecular absorption towards quasars, now possible with the upgraded Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The targets were PKS 0…

Does the fine structure constant vary? A detailed investigation into systematic effects

M. T. Murphy, J. K. Webb, V. V. Flambaum +1

We have previously presented 5.7-sigma evidence for a smaller alpha at redshifts 0.2 < z_abs < 3.7 from a sample of 128 Keck/HIRES quasar absorption systems: da/a = (-0.57 +/- 0.10…

Does the fine structure constant vary? A third quasar absorption sample consistent with varying alpha

J. K. Webb, M. T. Murphy, V. V. Flambaum +1

We report preliminary results from a third sample of quasar absorption line spectra from the Keck telescope which has been studied to search for any possible variation of the fine…
