Simulations of the formation, evolution and clustering of galaxies and quasars
TLDR
It is shown that baryon-induced features in the initial conditions of the Universe are reflected in distorted form in the low-redshift galaxy distribution, an effect that can be used to constrain the nature of dark energy with future generations of observational surveys of galaxies.

The many lives of active galactic nuclei: cooling flows, black holes and the luminosities and colour
We simulate the growth of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes by implementing a suite of semi-analytic models on the output of the Millennium Run, a very large simulation of the…

CANDELS: The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey
The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) is designed to document the first third of galactic evolution, over the approximate redshift (z) range 8-1.5. It will…

The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: joint measurements of the expansion and growth history at z < 1
We perform a joint determination of the distance–redshift relation and cosmic expansion rate at redshifts z = 0.44, 0.6 and 0.73 by combining measurements of the baryon acoustic peak and…

The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: mapping the distance-redshift relation with baryon acoustic oscillations
We present measurements of the baryon acoustic peak at redshifts z = 0.44, 0.6 and 0.73 in the galaxy correlation function of the final dataset of the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. We combine our…

The evolving luminosity function of red galaxies
We trace the assembly history of red galaxies since z = 1 by measuring their evolving space density with the B-band luminosity function. Our sample of 39,599 red galaxies, selected from 6.96 deg2 of…

The Major and Minor Galaxy Merger Rates at z < 1.5
Calculating the galaxy merger rate requires both a census of galaxies identified as merger candidates, and a cosmologically-averaged‘observability’ timescale hTobs(z)ifor identifying galaxy mergers.…
