    • Ultracold atoms in flexible holographic traps 

      Bowman, David (University of St Andrews, 2018-06-27) - Thesis
      This thesis details the design, construction and characterisation of an ultracold atoms system, developed in conjunction with a flexible optical trapping scheme which utilises a Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator (LC ...

    • The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey : measuring H(z) and DA(z) at z = 0.57 with clustering wedges 

      Kazin, Eyal A.; Sánchez, Ariel G.; Cuesta, Antonio J.; Beutler, Florian; Chuang, Chia-Hsun; Eisenstein, Daniel J.; Manera, Marc; Padmanabhan, Nikhil; Percival, Will J.; Prada, Francisco; Ross, Ashley J.; Seo, Hee-Jong; Tinker, Jeremy; Tojeiro, Rita; Xu, Xiaoying; Brinkmann, J.; Joel, Brownstein; Nichol, Robert C.; Schlegel, David J.; Schneider, Donald P.; Thomas, Daniel (2013-10-11) - Journal article
      We analyse the 2D correlation function of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS sample of massive galaxies of the ninth data release to measure cosmic expansion H and the ...

      Granett, B. R.; Guzzo, L.; Coupon, J.; Arnouts, S.; Hudelot, P.; Ilbert, O.; McCracken, H. J.; Mellier, Y.; Adami, C.; Bel, J.; Bolzonella, M.; Bottini, D.; Cappi, A.; Cucciati, O.; de la Torre, S.; Franzetti, P.; Fritz, A.; Garilli, B.; Iovino, A.; Krywult, J.; Le Brun, V.; Le Fevre, O.; Maccagni, D.; Malek, K.; Marulli, F.; Meneux, B.; Paioro, L.; Polletta, M.; Pollo, A.; Scodeggio, M.; Schlagenhaufer, H.; Tasca, L.; Tojeiro, R.; Vergani, D.; Zanichelli, A. (2012-03-21) - Journal article
      We measure the real-space galaxy power spectrum on large scales at redshifts 0.5–1.2 using optical colour selected samples from the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey. With the redshift distributions measured ...

(2012-07-21) - Journal article
      We 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 

      Forgan, Duncan H. (2018-03-12) - Journal article
      Two 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 ...
