The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Asymmetry in Gas Kinematics and its links to Stellar Mass and Star Formation

J. V. Bloom, L. M. R. Fogarty, S. M. Croom +23

We study the properties of kinematically disturbed galaxies in the SAMI Galaxy Survey using a quantitative criterion, based on kinemetry (Krajnovic et al.). The approach, similar t…

Infrared-faint radio sources remain undetected at far-infrared wavelengths. Deep photometric observations using the Herschel Space Observatory

Andreas Herzog, Ray P. Norris, Enno Middelberg +3

Showing 1.4 GHz flux densities in the range of a few to a few tens of mJy, infrared-faint radio sources (IFRS) are a type of galaxy characterised by faint or absent near-infrared c…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Early Data Release

J. T. Allen, S. M. Croom, I. S. Konstantopoulos +45

We present the Early Data Release of the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field spectrograph (SAMI) Galaxy Survey. The SAMI Galaxy Survey is an ongoing integral field spectroscopic…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Cubism and covariance, putting round pegs into square holes

R. Sharp, J. T. Allen, L. M. R. Fogarty +46

We present a methodology for the regularisation and combination of sparse sampled and irregularly gridded observations from fibre-optic multi-object integral-field spectroscopy. Th…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Fundamental Plane Data

Lachlan A. Campbell, John R. Lucey, Matthew Colless +13

We report the 6dFGS Fundamental Plane (6dFGSv) catalogue that is used to estimate distances and peculiar velocities for nearly 9,000 early-type galaxies in the local (z0.055) un…

Diffuse interstellar band at 8620 Å in RAVE: A new method for detecting the diffuse interstellar band in spectra of cool stars

J. Kos, T. Zwitter, E. K. Grebel +16

Diffuse interstellar bands are usually observed in spectra of hot stars, where interstellar lines are rarely blended with stellar ones. The need for hot stars is a strong limitatio…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and the Local Hubble Constant

Florian Beutler, Chris Blake, Matthew Colless +6

We analyse the large-scale correlation function of the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and detect a Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) signal. The 6dFGS BAO detection allows us to constra…

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): The star formation rate dependence of the stellar initial mass function

M. L. P. Gunawardhana, A. M. Hopkins, R. G. Sharp +35

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) describes the distribution in stellar masses produced from a burst of star formation. For more than fifty years, the implicit assumption und…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Final Redshift Release (DR3) and Southern Large-Scale Structures

D. Heath Jones, Mike A. Read, Will Saunders +30

We report the final redshift release of the 6dF Galaxy Survey, a combined redshift and peculiar velocity survey over the southern sky (|b|>10 deg). Its 136,304 spectra have yielded…

Faint UBVRI CCD sequences for wide-field surveys -- II. UBVR sequences at declination=-30 deg

Scott M. Croom, A. Ratcliffe, Q. A. Parker +3

We present results from a continuing campaign to secure deep multi-colour CCD sequences for photometric calibration in UK Schmidt fields with galactic latitudes |b|>50deg. In this…

New Structure In The Shapley Supercluster

M. J. Drinkwater, Q. A. Parker, D. Proust +2

We present new radial velocities for 189 galaxies in a 91 sq. deg region of the Shapley supercluster measured with the FLAIR-II spectrograph on the UK Schmidt Telescope. The data r…

The Durham/UKST Galaxy Redshift Survey -III. Large Scale Structure via the 2-Point Correlation Function

A. Ratcliffe, T. Shanks, Q. A. Parker +2

We have investigated the statistical clustering properties of galaxies by calculating the 2-point galaxy correlation function from the Durham/UKST Galaxy Redshift Survey. This surv…
