Decoupled Black Hole Accretion and Quenching: The Relationship Between BHAR, SFR, and Quenching in Milky Way and Andromeda-mass Progenitors Since z = 2.5
Michael J. Cowley, Lee R. Spitler, Ryan F. Quadri +13
We investigate the relationship between the black hole accretion rate (BHAR) and star-formation rate (SFR) for Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31)-mass progenitors from z = 0.2 - 2.…
The Taipan Galaxy Survey: Scientific Goals and Observing Strategy
Elisabete da Cunha, Andrew M. Hopkins, Matthew Colless +37
Taipan is a multi-object spectroscopic galaxy survey starting in 2017 that will cover 2pi steradians over the southern sky, and obtain optical spectra for about two million galaxie…
ZFIRE: Using H equivalent widths to investigate the in situ initial mass function at z~2
Themiya Nanayakkara, Karl Glazebrook, Glenn G. Kacprzak +10
We use the ZFIRE survey (http://zfire.swinburne.edu.au) to investigate the high mass slope of the initial mass function (IMF) for a mass-complete (log10(M/M)~9.3) sampl…
Discovery of Extreme [OIII]+H Emitting Galaxies Tracing an Overdensity at z~3.5 in CDF-South
Ben Forrest, Kim-Vy H. Tran, Adam Broussard +12
Using deep multi-wavelength photometry of galaxies from ZFOURGE, we group galaxies at by the shape of their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). We identify a populati…
ZFIRE: The Evolution of the Stellar Mass Tully-Fisher Relation to Redshift 2.0 < Z < 2.5 with MOSFIRE
Caroline M. S. Straatman, Karl Glazebrook, Glenn G. Kacprzak +8
Using observations made with MOSFIRE on Keck I as part of the ZFIRE survey, we present the stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation at 2.0 < z < 2.5. The sample was drawn from a stellar…
Modelling the Dynamics of a Hypothetical Planet X by way of Gravitational N-body Simulator
Michael J. Cowley, Stephen W. Hughes
This paper describes a novel activity to model the dynamics of a Jupiter-mass, trans-Neptunian planet of a highly eccentric orbit. Despite a history rooted in modern astronomy, "Pl…
Teaching the Doppler Effect in Astrophysics
Stephen W. Hughes, Michael J. Cowley
The Doppler effect is a shift in the frequency of waves emitted from an object moving relative to the observer. By observing and analysing the Doppler shift in electromagnetic wave…
