Resolved nuclear CO(1-0) emission in APM08279+5255: Gravitational lensing by a naked cusp?

Geraint F. Lewis, Chris Carilli, Padeli Papadopoulos +1

The ultraluminous broad absorption line quasar APM08279+5255 is one of the most luminous systems known. Here, we present an analysis of its nuclear CO(1-0) emission. Its extended d…

Formation Pumping of Molecular Hydrogen in the Messier 17 Photodissociation Region

M. G. Burton, D. Londish, P. W. J. L. Brand

We have imaged the emission from the near-infrared v=1-0 S(1), 1-0 S(7), 2-1 S(1) and 6-4 O(3) lines of molecular hydrogen in the N- and SW-Bars of M17, together with the hydrogen…

The nature of faint submm-selected galaxies

Ian Smail, R. J. Ivison, A. W. Blain +1

We present the source catalogue for the SCUBA Lens Survey. We summarise the results of extensive multi-wavelength observations of the 15 submillimetre-selected galaxies in the cata…

The evolution of the Tully-Fisher relation of spiral galaxies

B. L. Ziegler, A. Boehm, K. J. Fricke +12

We present the B-band Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) of 60 late-type galaxies with redshifts 0.1-1. The galaxies were selected from the FORS Deep Field with a limiting magnitude of R=…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The amplitudes of fluctuations in the 2dFGRS and the CMB, and implications for galaxy biasing

Ofer Lahav, Sarah L. Bridle, Will J. Percival +26

We compare the amplitudes of fluctuations probed by the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and by the latest measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies. By combining the…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The bias of galaxies and the density of the Universe

Licia Verde, Alan F. Heavens, Will J. Percival +27

We compute the bispectrum of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and use it to measure the bias parameter of the galaxies. This parameter quantifies the strength of clustering…
