Colors of 2625 Quasars at 0<z<5 Measured in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric System
Gordon T. Richards, Xiaohui Fan, Donald P. Schneider +3
We present an empirical investigation of the colors of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric system. The sample studied includes 2625 quasars with SDSS photome…
The Second APM UKST Colour Survey for z>4 Quasars
Lisa J. Storrie-Lombardi, Michael J. Irwin, Richard G. McMahon +1
We present the spectra, positions, and finding charts for 31 bright (R<19.3) colour-selected quasars covering the redshift range z=3.85-4.78, with 4 having redshifts z>4.5. The maj…
The ROSAT-ESO Flux Limited X-Ray (REFLEX) Galaxy Cluster Survey I: The Construction of the Cluster Sample
H. Boehringer, P. Schuecker, L. Guzzo +10
We describe the construction of an X-ray flux-limited sample of galaxy clusters, the REFLEX survey catalogue, to be used for cosmological studies. The survey is based on the ROSAT…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Near Infrared Galaxy Luminosity Functions
Shaun Cole, Peder Norberg, Carlton Baugh +24
We combine the 2MASS extended source catalogue and the 2dFGRS to produce an IR selected galaxy catalogue with 17,173 measured redshifts. We use this extensive dataset to estimate t…
PSR J1740-3052 - a pulsar with a massive companion
I. H. Stairs, R. N. Manchester, A. G. Lyne +14
We report on the discovery of a binary pulsar, PSR J1740-3052, during the Parkes multibeam survey. Timing observations of the 570-ms pulsar at Jodrell Bank and Parkes show that it…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The Number and Luminosity Density of Galaxies
Nicholas Cross, Simon P. Driver, Warrick Couch +29
We present the bivariate brightness distribution (BBD) for the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) based on a preliminary subsample of 45,000 galaxies. The BBD is an extension of t…
