Building a Model Astrolabe
Dominic Ford
This paper presents a hands-on introduction to the medieval astrolabe, based around a working model which can be constructed from photocopies of the supplied figures. As well as de…
Magnetic fields in star-forming galaxies at high and low redshift
Timothy Garn, Dominic Ford, Paul Alexander +2
As part of an ongoing series of deep GMRT surveys we have observed the Spitzer extragalactic First Look Survey field, producing the deepest wide-field 610-MHz survey published to d…
A Semi-Empirical Model of the Infrared Emission from Galaxies
Dominic C. Ford, Bojan Nikolic, Paul Alexander
We present a semi-empirical model for the infrared emission of dust around star-forming sites in galaxies. Our approach combines a simple model of radiative transfer in dust clouds…
A Simple Model For Mid-Infrared Emission from Normal Galaxies
B. Nikolic, P. Alexander, D. Ford
We have combined up-to-date stellar population synthesis models, a simple radiative transfer approach, and a fully comprehensive dust model with the aim of developing a simple but…
