The progenitors of present-day massive red galaxies up to z ap 0.7 - finding passive galaxies using SDSS-I/II and SDSS-III
(2012-07-21) - Journal articleWe present a comprehensive study of 250 000 galaxies targeted by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) up to z≈ 0.7 with the specific goal of identifying and characterizing a population of galaxies that has ... -
Exoplanet transits as the foundation of an interstellar communications network
(2018-03-12) - Journal articleTwo fundamental problems for extraterrestrial intelligences (ETIs) attempting to establish interstellar communication are timing and energy consumption. Humanity's study of exoplanets via their transit across the host star ... -
The dark and luminous structure of early-type galaxies : observational dynamics and stellar populations
(University of St Andrews, 2018-06-27) - ThesisLenticular and elliptical galaxies, collectively referred to as "early-type galaxies" (ETGs), are commonly thought to represent the end-points of galaxy evolution. Lying in the red sequence of galaxies, these objects are ... -
Enabling technologies for high performance millimetre and aub-millimetre wave radar
(IEEE, 2018-06-20) - Conference itemThe successful realisation of high performance millimetre and sub-millimetre wave radars requires key enabling technologies, many of which are not yet commercially available. This paper illustrates some of the key enabling ... -
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy of organic photovoltaic cells
(University of St Andrews, 2017) - ThesisOrganic photovoltaics (OPV) have the potential advantages of low-cost, flexibility and high throughput production. However, at present their efficiency is lower than other thin film technologies and they are susceptible ...
