Healey, Stephen E., Romani, Roger W., Cotter, Garret, Michelson, Peter F., Schlafly, Edward F., Readhead, Anthony C. S., ...

We describe a uniform all-sky survey of bright blazars, selected primarily by their flat radio spectra, that is designed to provide a large catalog of likely gamma-ray AGN. The defined sample has...

Vigorous star formation in a bulge-dominated ERO at z = 1.34 (2005)

Cotter, Garret, Simpson, Chris, Bolton, Rosemary C.

We present near-IR spectroscopy of three Extremely Red Objects (EROs) using the OHS/CISCO spectrograph at Subaru telescope. One target exhibits a strong emission line which we identify as H-alpha at...

MRC B1221-423: a compact steep-spectrum radio source in a merging galaxy (2004)

Johnston, Helen M., Hunstead, Richard W., Cotter, Garret, Sadler, Elaine M.

We present BVRIK images and spectroscopic observations of the z=0.17 host galaxy of the compact steep-spectrum radio source MRC B1221-423. This is a young (~1e5 yr) radio source with double lobes...

The death of FRII radio sources and their connection with radio relics (2002)

Kaiser, Christian R., Cotter, Garret

Radio relic sources in galaxy clusters are often described as the remnants of powerful radio galaxies. Here we develop a model for the evolution of such relics after the jets cease to supply energy...

The death of FR II radio sources and their connection with radio relics (2002)

Surveying the Sky with the Arcminute MicroKelvin Imager: Expected Constraints on Galaxy Cluster Evolution and Cosmology (2001)

Kneissl, Ruediger, Jones, Michael E., Saunders, Richard, Eke, Vincent R., Lasenby, Anthony N., Grainge, Keith, ...

We discuss prospects for cluster detection via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect in a blank field survey with the proposed interferometer array, the Arcminute MicroKelvin Imager (AMI). Clusters of...

Completeness and confusion in the identification of Lyman-break galaxies (1999)

Cotter, Garret, Haynes, Toby, Baker, Joanne C., Jones, Michael E., Saunders, Richard

We have carried out a study to simulate distant clusters of galaxies in deep ground-based optical images. We find that when model galaxies are added to deep images obtained with the William Herschel...
