Journal ArticleDOI
Starbursts from the Strong Compression of Galactic Molecular Clouds due to the High Pressure of the Intracluster Medium
Kenji Bekki,Warrick J. Couch +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that the high pressure of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) can trigger the collapse of molecular clouds in a spiral galaxy, leading to a burst of star formation in the clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early-type galaxies at large galactocentric radii - II. Metallicity gradients, and the [Z/H]--mass, [alpha/Fe]--mass relations
TL;DR: In this article, a study of stellar population properties at large galactocentric radii of 14 low-mass early-type galaxies in the Fornax and Virgo clusters is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: evolution of the clustering of luminous red galaxies since z= 0.6
David A. Wake,Ravi K. Sheth,Robert C. Nichol,Carlton M. Baugh,Joss Bland-Hawthorn,Matthew Colless,Warrick J. Couch,Scott M. Croom,Roberto De Propris,Michael J. Drinkwater,Alastair C. Edge,Jon Loveday,Tsz Yan Lam,Kevin A. Pimbblet,Isaac Roseboom,Nicholas P. Ross,Nicholas P. Ross,Donald P. Schneider,Tom Shanks,Rob Sharp +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the small-to-intermediate scale clustering of samples of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the SDSS and 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey (2SLAQ) survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shocking tails in the major merger abell 2744
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify four rare "jellyfish" galaxies in Hubble Space Telescope imagery of the major merger cluster Abell 2744, indicating they are in the process of being transformed by the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: the local E+A galaxy population
Chris Blake,Michael Pracy,Warrick J. Couch,Kenji Bekki,Ian Lewis,Karl Glazebrook,Ivan K. Baldry,Carlton M. Baugh,Joss Bland-Hawthorn,Terry J. Bridges,Russell D. Cannon,Shaun Cole,Matthew Colless,Chris A. Collins,Gavin Dalton,Gavin Dalton,Roberto De Propris,Simon P. Driver,George Efstathiou,Richard S. Ellis,Carlos S. Frenk,Carole Jackson,Ofer Lahav,Stuart Lumsden,Stephen J. Maddox,Darren Madgwick,Peder Norberg,John A. Peacock,Bruce A. Peterson,William J. Sutherland,Keith Taylor +30 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors select a sample of low-redshift E+A galaxies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and quantify the local environments, clustering properties and luminosity function of these galaxies.
