Black Hole

Lensing of space time around a black hole. At Oxford we study black holes observationally and theoretically on all size and time scales - it is some of our core work.

A comprehensive view of a strongly lensed planck-associated submillimeter galaxy

Abstract:

We present high-resolution maps of stars, dust, and molecular gas in a strongly lensed submillimeter galaxy (SMG) at z = 3.259. HATLAS J114637.9-001132 is selected from the Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) as a strong lens candidate mainly based on its unusually high 500 μm flux density (300mJy). It is the only high-redshift Planck detection in the 130deg2 H-ATLAS Phase-I area. Keck Adaptive Optics images reveal a quadruply imaged galaxy in the K band while the Submillimeter Array and the Jansky Very Large Array show doubly imaged 880 μm and CO(1→0) sources, indicating differentiated distributions of the various components in the galaxy. In the source plane, the stars reside in three major kpc-scale clumps extended over 1.6kpc, the dust in a compact (∼1 kpc) region ∼3kpc north of the stars, and the cold molecular gas in an extended (∼7kpc) disk ∼5kpc northeast of the stars. The emissions from the stars, dust, and gas are magnified by ∼17, ∼8, and ∼7times, respectively, by four lensing galaxies at z ∼1. Intrinsically, the lensed galaxy is a warm (T dust ∼40-65 K), hyper-luminous (L IR ∼ 1.7 × 1013 L star formation rate (SFR) ∼2000 M yr-1), gas-rich (M gas/M baryon 70%), young (M stellar/SFR 20Myr), and short-lived (M gas/SFR 40Myr) starburst. With physical properties similar to unlensed z > 2 SMGs, HATLAS J114637.9-001132 offers a detailed view of a typical SMG through a powerful cosmic microscope. © 2012.

Supernova simulations and strategies for the dark energy survey

Astrophysical Journal 753:2 (2012)

Authors:

JP Bernstein, R Kessler, S Kuhlmann, R Biswas, E Kovacs, G Aldering, I Crane, CB D'Andrea, DA Finley, JA Frieman, T Hufford, MJ Jarvis, AG Kim, J Marriner, P Mukherjee, RC Nichol, P Nugent, D Parkinson, RRR Reis, M Sako, H Spinka, M Sullivan

Abstract:

We present an analysis of supernova light curves simulated for the upcoming Dark Energy Survey (DES) supernova search. The simulations employ a code suite that generates and fits realistic light curves in order to obtain distance modulus/redshift pairs that are passed to a cosmology fitter. We investigated several different survey strategies including field selection, supernova selection biases, and photometric redshift measurements. Using the results of this study, we chose a 30deg2 search area in the griz filter set. We forecast (1) that this survey will provide a homogeneous sample of up to 4000 TypeIa supernovae in the redshift range 0.05

Abstract:

We present the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS), an 18 square degrees medium-deep survey at 3.6 and 4.5 microns with the post-cryogenic Spitzer Space Telescope to ~2 microJy (AB=23.1) depth of five highly observed astronomical fields (ELAIS-N1, ELAIS-S1, Lockman Hole, Chandra Deep Field South and XMM-LSS). SERVS is designed to enable the study of galaxy evolution as a function of environment from z~5 to the present day, and is the first extragalactic survey both large enough and deep enough to put rare objects such as luminous quasars and galaxy clusters at z>1 into their cosmological context. SERVS is designed to overlap with several key surveys at optical, near- through far-infrared, submillimeter and radio wavelengths to provide an unprecedented view of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies. In this paper, we discuss the SERVS survey design, the data processing flow from image reduction and mosaicing to catalogs, as well as coverage of ancillary data from other surveys in the SERVS fields. We also highlight a variety of early science results from the survey.
