Radiative equilibrium in Monte Carlo radiative transfer using frequency distribution adjustment
Maarten Baes, Dimitris Stamatellos, Jonathan I. Davies +5
The Monte Carlo method is a powerful tool for performing radiative equilibrium calculations, even in complex geometries. The main drawback of the standard Monte Carlo radiative equ…
The HI Detection of Low Column Density Clouds and Galaxies
Suzanne M. Linder, Robert F. Minchin, Jonathan I. Davies +5
The HIDEEP survey (Minchin et al. 2003) was done in an attempt to find objects having low inferred neutral hydrogen column densities, yet they found a distribution which was strong…
A search for low surface brightness dwarf galaxies in different environments
S. Roberts, J. Davies, S. Sabatini +6
According to the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) hierarchical clustering theory of galaxy and large scale structure formation, there should be numerous low mass dark matter haloes present i…
A multi-beam HI survey of the Virgo Cluster - two isolated HI clouds ?
J. Davies, R. Minchin, S. Sabatini +11
We have carried out a fully sampled large area () 21cm \HI line survey of part of the Virgo cluster using the Jodrell Bank multi-beam instrument. The su…
Radiative transfer in disc galaxies -- III. The observed kinematics of dusty disc galaxies
Maarten Baes, Jonathan I. Davies, Herwig Dejonghe +6
We present SKIRT (Stellar Kinematics Including Radiative Transfer), a new Monte Carlo radiative transfer code that allows the calculation of the observed stellar kinematics of a du…
Galaxies as Fluctuations in the Ionizing Background Radiation at Low Redshift
Suzanne M. Linder, Roland Gunesch, Jonathan I. Davies +5
Some Lyman continuum photons are likely to escape from most galaxies, and these can play an important role in ionizing gas around and between galaxies, including gas that gives ris…
