Journal Article
Sanchez-Blazquez, P., Courty, S., Gibson, B. K., & Brook, C. B. (2009). The origin of the light distribution in spiral galaxies. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 398(2), 591-606. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15133.x

We analyse a high-resolution, fully cosmological, hydrodynamical disc galaxy simulation, to study the source of the double-exponential light profiles seen in many stellar discs, and the effects of stellar radial migration upon the spatiotemporal evol...

An HI survey of six local group analogs. I. Survey description and the search for high-velocity clouds (2007)
Journal Article
Pisano, D. J., Barnes, D. G., Gibson, B. K., Staveley-Smith, L., Freeman, K. C., & Kilborn, V. A. (2007). An HI survey of six local group analogs. I. Survey description and the search for high-velocity clouds. The Astrophysical journal, 662(2), 959-968. https://doi.org/10.1086/517986

We have conducted an H I 21 cm emission-line survey using the Parkes 20 cm multibeam instrument and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) of six loose groups of galaxies chosen to be analogs to the Local Group. The goal of this survey is to ma... Read More about An HI survey of six local group analogs. I. Survey description and the search for high-velocity clouds.

The initial-final mass relationship: Spectroscopy of white dwarfs in NGC 2099 (M37) (2004)
Journal Article
Kalirai, J. S., Richer, H. B., Reitzel, D., Hansen, B. M., Rich, R. M., Fahlman, G. G., Gibson, B. K., & Von Hippel, T. (2004). The initial-final mass relationship: Spectroscopy of white dwarfs in NGC 2099 (M37). Astrophysical journal. Letters, 618(2), L123-L127

We present new observations of very faint white dwarfs (WDs) in the rich open star cluster NGC 2099 (M37). Following deep, wide-field imaging of the cluster using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, we have now obtained spectroscopic observations of...

L., Couture, A., Adams, F., Aoki, W., Arcones, A., Arnett, D., Auchettl, K., Avila, M., Badenes, C., Baron, E., Bauswein, A., Beacom, J., Blackmon, J., Blondin, S., Bloser, P., Boggs, S., Boss, A., Brandt, T., …Pignatari, M. (2019). Catching element formation in the act

Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects and phenomena: stars, supernovae, novae, neutron stars, stellar-mass b... Read More about Catching element formation in the act.
