The CORALS Survey: A Review and Progress Report on The Search for Dust Obscured Quasar Absorption Line Systems
Sara L. Ellison, Max Pettini, Chris W. Churchill +6
We present a brief overview of the ongoing Complete Optical and Radio Absorption Line System (CORALS) survey. We review the results of our survey for z>2.2 damped Lyman alpha syste…
Uncloaking the High Redshift Galaxy Population With The Complete Optical and Radio Absorption Line System (CORALS) Survey
Sara L. Ellison, Lin Yan, Isobel M. Hook +3
We present the first results from the Complete Optical and Radio Absorption Line System (CORALS) survey for Damped Lyman Alpha (DLA) systems based on a radio-selected sample of qua…
The REFLEX Galaxy Cluster Survey IV: The X-ray Luminosity Function
H. Boehringer, C. A. Collins, L. Guzzo +10
The X-ray galaxy cluster sample from the REFLEX Cluster Survey, which covers the X-ray brightest galaxy clusters detected in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey in the southern sky, is used t…
A VLT colour image of the optical Einstein ring 0047-2808
S. J. Warren, G. F. Lewis, P. C. Hewett +3
The optical Einstein ring 0047-2808 was imaged by the VLT UT1 during the science verification programme. The ring is the image of a high-redshift z=3.595 star-forming galaxy, with…
Probing the Cosmic Large-Scale Structure with the REFLEX Cluster Survey : Profile of an ESO Key Programme
H. Böhringer, L. Guzzo, C. A. Collins +11
The paper describes the goals and first results of the ROSAT ESO Flux-Limited X-ray (REFLEX) Cluster Survey, a redshift survey of the X-ray brightest galaxy clusters in the ROSAT A…
Results from the REFLEX Cluster Survey
H. Böhringer, L. Guzzo, C. A. Collins +11
Based on the ROSAT All-Sky Survey we have conducted a large redshift survey as an ESO key programme to identify and secure redshifts for the X-ray brightest clusters found in the s…
