GRB 191016A: A highly collimated gamma-ray burst jet with magnetised energy injection
M. Shrestha, I. A. Steele, S. Kobayashi +7
Long gamma-ray burst GRB 191016A was a bright and slow rising burst that was detected by the \textit{Swift} satellite and followed up by ground based Liverpool Telescope (LT). LT f…
The width of Herschel filaments varies with distance
G. V. Panopoulou, S. E. Clark, A. Hacar +5
Context: Filamentary structures in nearby molecular clouds have been found to exhibit a characteristic width of 0.1 pc, as observed in dust emission. Understanding the origin of th…
The "Maggie" filament: Physical properties of a giant atomic cloud
J. Syed, J. D. Soler, H. Beuther +19
The atomic phase of the interstellar medium plays a key role in the formation process of molecular clouds. Due to the line-of-sight confusion in the Galactic plane that is associat…
Could Segue 1 be a destroyed star cluster? - a dynamical perspective
Raul Dominguez, Michael Fellhauer, Matias Blaña +5
We attempt to find a progenitor for the ultra-faint object Segue 1 under the assumption that it formed as a dark matter free star cluster in the past. We look for orbits, using the…
STILT: System Design & Performance
N. R. Mawson, I. A. Steele, R. J. Smith
The Small Telescopes Installed at the Liverpool Telescope (STILT) have been in operation since March 2009, collecting wide field data from their position, mounted to the Liverpool…
Fragmentation and dynamical collapse of the starless high-mass star-forming region IRDC18310-4
H. Beuther, H. Linz, J. Tackenberg +9
Aims: We study the fragmentation and dynamical properties of a massive starless gas clump at the onset of high-mass star formation. Methods: Based on Herschel continuum data we ide…
ACCESS IV: The quenching of star formation in a cluster population of dusty S0s
C. P. Haines, P. Merluzzi, G. Busarello +6
We present an analysis of the mid-infrared (MIR) colours of 165 70um-detected galaxies in the Shapley supercluster core (SSC) at z=0.048 using panoramic Spitzer/MIPS 24 and 70um im…
Popping star clusters as building blocks of the Milky Way Thick Disc
P. Assmann, M. Fellhauer, P. Kroupa +2
It is widely believed that star clusters form with low star formation efficiencies. With the onset of stellar winds by massive stars or finally when the first super nova blows off,…
Warm dusty discs: Exploring the A star 24um debris population
R. Smith, M. C. Wyatt
(Abridged) Studies of debris discs have shown that most systems are analogous to the EKB. In this study we aim to determine how many IRAS 25um excesses towards A stars are real, an…
Early time optical polarization of GRB Afterglows: GRB 060418 and GRB 090102
I. A. Steele, C. G. Mundell, R. J. Smith +2
RINGO on the Liverpool Telescope has now measured the optical polarization of GRB 060418 (where a 2 sigma upper limit of P<8% was determined) and GRB 090102 (when a detection of P…
Resolving the hot dust around HD69830 and eta Corvi with MIDI and VISIR
R. Smith, M. C. Wyatt, C. A. Haniff
Most of the known debris discs exhibit cool dust in regions analogous to the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt. However, a rare subset show hot excess from within a few AU, which is often infe…
The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - XI. The QSO Power Spectrum
P. J. Outram, Fiona Hoyle, T. Shanks +5
We present a power spectrum analysis of the final 2dF QSO Redshift Survey catalogue containing 22652 QSOs. Utilising the huge volume probed by the QSOs, we can accurately measure p…
The 2dF BL Lac Survey
D. Londish, S. M. Croom, B. J. Boyle +7
We have optically identified a sample of 56 featureless continuum objects without significant proper motion from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ). The steep number--magnitude rela…
The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - VIII. Absorption systems in the 10k catalogue
P. J. Outram, R. J. Smith, T. Shanks +4
We examine the highest S/N spectra from the 2QZ 10k release and identify over 100 new low-ionisation heavy element absorbers; DLA candidates suitable for higher resolution follow-u…
The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - V. The 10k catalogue
S. M. Croom, R. J. Smith, B. J. Boyle +4
We present a catalogue comprising over 10000 QSOs covering an effective area of 289.6 sq. degrees, based on spectroscopic observations with the 2-degree Field instrument at the Ang…
The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - II. Structure and evolution at high redshift
Scott M. Croom, T. Shanks, B. J. Boyle +4
We present a clustering analysis of QSOs over the redshift range z=0.3-2.9. We use a sample of 10558 QSOs taken from the preliminary catalogue of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ).…
