The rarity of star formation in brightest cluster galaxies as measured by WISE (2014)
Journal Article
Fraser-McKelvie, A., Brown, M. J. I., & Pimbblet, K. A. (2014). The rarity of star formation in brightest cluster galaxies as measured by WISE. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Letters, 444(1), L63-L67. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slu117

We present the mid-infrared star formation rates of 245 X-ray selected, nearby (z < 0.1) brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). A homogeneous and volume limited sample of BCGs was created by X-ray selecting clusters with Lx > 1 × 1044 erg s⁻ ¹. The Wide-...

Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) : fine filaments of galaxies detected within voids (2014)
Journal Article

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Letters, 440(1), L106-L110. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slu019

Based on data from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey, we report on the discovery of structures that we refer to as ‘tendrils’ of galaxies: coherent, thin chains of galaxies that are rooted in filaments and terminate in neighbouring filaments...
