We report the discovery of a unique gravitational lens system, SDSSJ2222+2745, producing five spectroscopically confirmed images of a z_s=2.82 quasar lensed by a foreground galaxy…
Stellar mass versus velocity dispersion as tracer of the lensing signal around bulge-dominated galaxies
Edo van Uitert, Henk Hoekstra, Marijn Franx +3
We present the results of a weak gravitational lensing analysis to determine whether the stellar mass or the velocity dispersion is more closely related to the amplitude of the len…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: Probing the Epoch of Radiation Domination using Large Scale Structure

A Massive, Cooling-Flow-Induced Starburst in the Core of a Highly Luminous Galaxy Cluster
M. McDonald, M. Bayliss, B. A. Benson +83
In the cores of some galaxy clusters the hot intracluster plasma is dense enough that it should cool radiatively in the cluster's lifetime, leading to continuous "cooling flows" of…

The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: the transition to large-scale cosmic homogeneity
Morag Scrimgeour, Tamara Davis, Chris Blake +26
We have made the largest-volume measurement to date of the transition to large-scale homogeneity in the distribution of galaxies. We use the WiggleZ survey, a spectroscopic survey…
