structure at z~5

Wednesday, Bristol.

Flew down to Bristol for a Postdoc interview. What a great city - very like Edinburgh and most probably has more hours of sunshine. Really picked up a good vibe from the place and after chatting to Bremer, Douglas, Lancaster and Phillips (all Bristol) could see myself settling in and working on some pretty cool stuff.

This pretty cool stuff would be high redshift galaxies (z~5 and higher) who are (potentially) sitting in haloes of order 10^12 M_solar and have masses themselves of 10^9 M_solar. Also when we got chatting in the interview, Bremer mentioned that they have evidence for structure at these redshits. How cool is that?!?! And what does it mean?!?! I know I mentioned a couple of days ago (totally coincedentally) about what you'd need to do a z~6 survey - but hey - it might already be here!!

Okay, have to go, a Gigantus Bumblebeeus has just flown into my office and "buzzed" me....
