    This work aims to study the dark matter content of the nearby (7.38 Mpc) dwarf galaxy IC 4710 using the HI line observations from the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). We produce the rst interferometric maps of ...

  • Luminous red galaxies in simulations 

    Ratsimbazafy, Ando Lalaina (2010)
    There have been a number of attempts to measure the expansion rate of the Universe using age-dating of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs).Assuming stars in LRGs form at the same time, age-dating of two populations of LRGs at ...

  • Probing the primordial Universe using the SKA in combination with other cosmological surveys 

    Matthewson, William (University of the Western Cape, 2019)
    Next-generation surveys of the large-scale structure of the Universe will be of great importance in allowing us to extract invaluable information about the nature of the Universe and the physical laws that govern it, at ...

  • Testing the statistical isotropy of the universe using radio survey data 

    Baloyi, Mathobela Albert (University of the Western Cape, 2019)
    The Cosmological Principle forms part of one of the most fundamental hypotheses of modern Cosmology. So it is very important to assess whether it holds true using observational data, or whether it consists of a mathematical ...
