We present results from a multi-wavelength study of 29 sources (false detection probabilities <5%) from a survey of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-North field at 1.1mm using the AzTEC camera. Comparing with existing 850um SCUBA…

We present spectrograms of the faint V-drop (V(606) = 28.1, I(814) = 25.6) galaxy pair HDF3-951.1 and HDF3-951.2 obtained at the Keck II Telescope. Fernandez-Soto, Lanzetta, & Yahil (1998) derive a photometric redshift of z(ph) = 5.28…

We report on Keck spectra of ten Fermi blazars. J0622+3326, previously unobserved, is shown to be a flat-spectrum radio quasar at redshift z=1.062. The others are known BL Lac-type objects that have resisted previous attempts to secure…

The third phase of the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) has recently been completed, bringing the total number of sources imaged to over 15000 in the CLASS and JVAS combined survey. In the VLA observations carried out in March and April…

Best, Rottgering and Lehnert (1999, 2000a) defined a new sample of powerful radio sources from the Molonglo Reference Catalogue, for which redshifts were compiled or measured for 177 of the 178 objects. For the final object, MRC1059-010…

We model the mass distribution in the recently discovered Einstein ring LBG J213512.73-010143 (the `Cosmic Eye') using archival Hubble Space Telescope imaging. We reconstruct the mass density profile of the z=0.73 lens and the surface…

Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies can be used to study cosmological reionization, because a neutral intergalactic medium scatters Lyman-alpha photons into diffuse halos whose surface brightness falls below typical survey detection limits. Here…

The BL-Lac blazar PKS 0447-439 was detected at very high energy gamma-rays by HESS following the discovery by Fermi-LAT. The lack of both emission and absorption lines in BL-Lacs make the estimation of their redshifts very difficult.…

(abridged) We present Gemini integral-field unit (IFU) spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) F435W- and F814W-band images of a new four-image gravitational lens, SDSSJ140228.22+632133.3, obtained as part of an HST Snapshot program…

The combination of deep exposures and high resolution offered by telescopes in space allows the detection of lensing over a wide range of source redshifts and lens masses. As an example, we model a lens candidate found in the southern…

Spectra have been obtained with the low-resolution modules of the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope (Spitzer) for 58 sources having f$_{\nu}$(24 micron) > 0.75 mJy. Sources were chosen from a survey of 8.2 deg$^{2}$…

We have surveyed a field covering 9.0 degrees^2 within the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey region in Bootes with the Multiband Imaging Photometer on the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) to a limiting 24 um flux density of 0.3 mJy. Thirty one…

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of high-resolution observations of the quadruple lens B1608+656 from the HST archive, acquired with WFPC2 through filters F606W (V-band) and F814W (I-band), and with NIC1 in filter F160W (H-band). In…

We present a spectroscopically-selected [OIII]+Hb emitters catalogue at 6.75<z<9.05 and the resulting [OIII] 5008 \AA Luminosity Function (LF) in the COSMOS field. We leverage the 0.3 deg$^{2}$ covered to date by COSMOS-3D using NIRCam/WFSS…

Around $10^5$ strongly lensed galaxies are expected to be discovered with Euclid and the LSST. Utilising these large samples to study the inner structure of lens galaxies requires source redshifts, to turn lens models into mass…
