An 80-kpc Lyman-alpha halo around a high redshift type-2 QSO
Daniel J. B. Smith, Matt J. Jarvis, Chris Simpson +1
We announce the discovery of an extended emission line region associated with a high redshift type-2 QSO. The halo, which was discovered in our new wide-field narrow-band survey, r…
Infrared and millimetre-wavelength evidence for cold accretion within a z = 2.83 Lyman-alpha blob
Daniel J. B. Smith, Matt J. Jarvis, Mark Lacy +1
This paper discusses infrared and millimetre-wavelength observations of a Lyman-alpha blob discovered by Smith & Jarvis, a candidate for ionization by the cold accretion scenario d…
A young, dusty, compact radio source within a Ly|*alpha*| halo
F. Eugenio Barrio, Matt J. Jarvis, Steve Rawlings +7
We report here on the discovery of a red quasar, J004929.4+351025.7 at a redshift of z = 2.48, situated within a large Lya emission-line halo. The radio spectral energy distributio…
A semi-empirical simulation of the extragalactic radio continuum sky for next generation radio telescopes
R. J. Wilman, L. Miller, M. J. Jarvis +8
We have developed a semi-empirical simulation of the extragalactic radio continuum sky suitable for aiding the design of next generation radio interferometers such as the Square Ki…
A Population of Faint Extended Line Emitters and the Host Galaxies of Optically Thick QSO Absorption Systems
Michael Rauch, Martin Haehnelt, Andrew Bunker +10
We have conducted a long slit search for low surface brightness Lyman-alpha emitters at redshift 2.67 < z < 3.75. A 92 hour long exposure with VLT/FORS2 down to a 1-sigma surface b…
Low accretion rates at the AGN cosmic downsizing epoch
A. Babic, L. Miller, M. J. Jarvis +3
Context: X-ray surveys of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) indicate `cosmic downsizing', with the comoving number density of high-luminosity objects peaking at higher redshifts (z abou…
