The VIPERS Multi-Lambda Survey. I. UV and NIR Observations, multi-color catalogues and photometric redshifts [PDF]
We present observations collected in the CFHTLS-VIPERS region in the ultraviolet (UV) with the GALEX satellite (far and near UV channels) and the near infrared with the CFHT/WIRCam camera ($K_s$-band) over an area of 22 and 27 deg$^2$, respectively. The depth of the photometry was optimized to measure the physical properties (e.g., SFR, stellar masses)

Mood Selection in the Old Northumbrian Gloss to Durham MS A.iv.19
Abstract The aim of this article is to examine the use of the subjunctive in the 10th‐century Old Northumbrian gloss to Durham, MS.A.iv.19. We assess whether there is evidence for a weakening of the indicative/subjunctive opposition, as has been argued for the earlier gloss to the Lindisfarne Gospels, which was the work of the same glossator, Aldred of

The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): PCA-based automatic cleaning and reconstruction of survey spectra [PDF]
Identifying spurious reduction artefacts in galaxy spectra is a challenge for large surveys. We present an algorithm for identifying and repairing residual spurious features in sky-subtracted galaxy spectra with application to the VIPERS survey. The algorithm uses principal component analysis (PCA) applied to the galaxy spectra in the observed frame to
