    GRB010222: Afterglow emission from a rapidly decelerating shock
    The GRB010222 optical and near-infrared (NIR) afterglow was monitored at the TNG and other Italian telescopes starting ~ 1 day after the high-energy prompt...

    Halo concentrations in the standard Λ cold dark matter cosmology
    We study the concentration of dark matter haloes and its evolution in N-body simulations of the standard Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmology. The results...

    HerMES: deep galaxy number counts from a P(D) fluctuation analysis of SPIRE Science Demonstration Phase observations
    Dusty, star-forming galaxies contribute to a bright, currently unresolved cosmic far-infrared background. Deep Herschel-Spectral and Photometric Imaging...

    HerMES: deep number counts at 250 μm, 350 μm and 500 μm in the COSMOS and GOODS-N fields and the build-up of the cosmic infrared background
    Aims: The Spectral and Photometric Imaging REceiver (SPIRE) onboard the Herschel space telescope has provided confusion limited maps of deep fields at 250 μm...

    HerMES: detection of cosmic magnification of submillimetre galaxies using angular cross-correlation
    Cosmic magnification is due to the weak gravitational lensing of sources in the distant Universe by foreground large-scale structure leading to coherent changes...

    HerMES: Halo occupation number and bias properties of dusty galaxies from angular clustering measurements
    We measure the angular correlation function, w(θ), from 0.5 to 30 arcmin of detected sources in two wide fields of the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic...
