High-velocity outflows in massive post-starburst galaxies at z > 1

David T. Maltby, Omar Almaini, Ross J. McLure +21

We investigate the prevalence of galactic-scale outflows in post-starburst (PSB) galaxies at high redshift (), using the deep optical spectra available in the UKIDSS U…

A new method for classifying galaxy SEDs from multi-wavelength photometry

Vivienne Wild, Omar Almaini, Michele Cirasuolo +7

We present a new method to classify the broad band optical-NIR spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies using three shape parameters (super-colours) based on a Principal Co…

Evidence for a correlation between the sizes of quiescent galaxies and local environment to z ~ 2

Caterina Lani, Omar Almaini, William G. Hartley +14

We present evidence for a strong relationship between galaxy size and environment for the quiescent population in the redshift range 1 < z < 2. Environments were measured using pro…

High velocity outflows from young star-forming galaxies in the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey

E. J. Bradshaw, O. Almaini, W. G. Hartley +10

We investigate galactic-scale outflows in the redshift range 0.71 < z < 1.63, using 413 K-band selected galaxies observed in the spectroscopic follow-up of the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Su…

Studying the emergence of the red sequence through galaxy clustering: host halo masses at z > 2

William G. Hartley, Omar Almaini, Alice Mortlock +10

We use the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey, the deepest degree-scale near-infrared survey to date, to investigate the clustering of star-forming and passive galaxies to z ~ 3.5. Our new m…

The ages, masses and star-formation rates of spectroscopically confirmed z~6 galaxies in CANDELS

E. Curtis-Lake, R. J. McLure, J. S. Dunlop +22

We report the results of a study exploring the stellar populations of 13 luminous (L>L*), spectroscopically confirmed, galaxies in the redshift interval 5.5<z<6.5, all with WFC3/IR…

The sizes, masses and specific star-formation rates of massive galaxies at 1.3<z<1.5: strong evidence in favour of evolution via minor mergers

R. J. McLure, H. J. Pearce, J. S. Dunlop +12

We report the results of a comprehensive study of the relationship between galaxy size, stellar mass and specific star-formation rate (sSFR) at redshifts 1.3<z<1.5. Based on a mass…

Radio imaging of the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field - III. Evolution of the radio luminosity function beyond z=1

Chris Simpson, Steve Rawlings, Rob Ivision +9

We present spectroscopic and eleven-band photometric redshifts for galaxies in the 100-uJy Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field radio source sample. We find good agreement between our reds…

Improved constraints on the expansion rate of the Universe up to z~1.1 from the spectroscopic evolution of cosmic chronometers

M. Moresco, A. Cimatti, Raul Jimenez +65

We present new improved constraints on the Hubble parameter H(z) in the redshift range 0.15 < z < 1.1, obtained from the differential spectroscopic evolution of early-type galaxies…

A remarkably high fraction of strong Ly_alpha emitters amongst luminous redshift 6.0<z<6.5 Lyman break galaxies in the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey

E. Curtis-Lake, R. J. McLure, H. J. Pearce +8

We present spectroscopic confirmation of ten highly luminous (L >= 2L*) Lyman alpha emitters in the redshift range 6.01<z<6.49 (nine galaxies and one AGN), initially drawn from a s…

AGN environments at z<1.5 in the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey

E. J. Bradshaw, O. Almaini, W. G. Hartley +6

We investigate the environments of both X-ray and radio-loud AGN within the UKIDSS Ultra-deep Survey (UDS) using deep infrared selection to sample the galaxy density field in the r…

Galaxy Environments in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS)

R. W. Chuter, O. Almaini, W. G. Hartley +7

We present a study of galaxy environments to z~2, based on a sample of over 33,000 K-band selected galaxies detected in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS). The combination of infra…

The evolution of galaxy clustering since z = 3 using the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey: the divergence of passive and star-forming galaxies

William Hartley, Omar Almaini, Michele Cirasuolo +10

We use the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey to trace the evolution of galaxy clustering to z = 3. Using photometric redshifts derived from data covering the wavelength range 0.3 - 4.5 um w…
