Shapley Supercluster Survey: Mapping the filamentary network connecting the clusters (2018)
Journal Article
Haines, C. P., Busarello, G., Merluzzi, P., Pimbblet, K. A., Vogt, F. P., Dopita, M. A., Mercurio, A., Grado, A., & Limatola, L. (2018). Shapley Supercluster Survey: Mapping the filamentary network connecting the clusters. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 481(1), 1055-1074. https://doi.org/10.1093/MNRAS/STY2338

We have mapped the structure and connectivity of the Shapley supercluster core and its surroundings as traced by its member galaxies. To achieve this, we have carried out a new redshift survey of galaxies across a 21 square degree region (17×17 Mpc2)...

Evolution of starburst galaxies in the Illustris simulation (2018)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, C. L., Pimbblet, K. A., Stott, J. P., Few, C. G., & Gibson, B. K. (2018). Evolution of starburst galaxies in the Illustris simulation. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 479(1), 758-767. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty1493

© 2018 The Author(s). Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Royal Astronomical Society. There is a consensus in the literature that starburst galaxies are triggered by interaction events. However, it remains an open question as to wha...

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the effect of galaxy group environment on active galactic nuclei (2018)
Journal Article
Gordon, Y. A., Pimbblet, K. A., Owers, M. S., Bland-Hawthorn, J., Brough, S., Brown, M. J. I., Cluver, M. E., Croom, S. M., Holwerda, B. W., Loveday, J., Mahajan, S., & Wang, L. (2018). Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the effect of galaxy group environment on active galactic nuclei. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 475(3), 4223-4234. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty115

© 2017 The Author(s). In galaxy clusters, efficiently accreting active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are preferentially located in the infall regions of the cluster projected phase-space, and are rarely found in the cluster core. This has been attributed to... Read More about Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the effect of galaxy group environment on active galactic nuclei.
