2020 January 22: Galaxy Luminosity Functions with 4 million galaxies out to redshift z~3
In this work we use our CLAUDS+HSC data to show that the shape of the UV luminosity function is remarkably stable, and that the evolution of the cosmic UV luminosity density (which we also measure) is driven almost entirely by the change in M*, the characteristic brightness of the galaxy population out to at least z~1.

2020 July 24: GIRMOS has a logo!
GIRMOS is a next-generation instrument now under development for the 8-metre Gemini observatory. GIRMOS will take AO-assisted spatially-resolved spectroscopy for up to four objects simultaneously, making it possible to carry out very large surveys and detailed surveys of objects in the distant Universe. Our role in the project is to develop the GIRMOS observation planning and data reduction software packages. To find out more about GIRMOS, click here.
Congratulations to Angelo for successfully defending his MSc thesis today! Angelo’s thesis, which was supervised by Ivana Damjanov and me, was on the evolution of morphologies of galaxies since z~0.9 in the field and in clusters. Only some minor corrections remain to do, and then Angelo’s off to officially start his PhD with us this September. Well done Angelo!
