The Cosmic Skidmark: witnessing galaxy transformation at z = 0.19
Abstract We present an early-look analysis of the “Cosmic Skidmark”. Discovered following visual inspection of the Geach, Murphy & Bower (2011) SDSS Stripe 82 cluster catalogue generated by ORCA (an automated cluster algorithm searching for red-sequences; Murphy, Geach & Bower 2012), this z...
