The Combined NVSS-FIRST Galaxies (CoNFIG) Sample - I. Sample Definition, Classification and Evolution
M. A. Gendre, J. V. Wall
The CoNFIG (Combined NVSS-FIRST Galaxies) sample is a new sample of 274 bright radio sources at 1.4 GHz. It was defined by selecting all sources with S_1.4GHz > 1.3 Jy from the NRA…
Radio-Loud QSOs and Sub-Millimeter Galaxies: Space Distributions
J V Wall
A picture has emerged connecting QSOs with Sub-Millimetre Galaxies (SMGs) through an evolutionary sequence in which forming galaxies are initially FIR-luminous but X-ray weak, simi…
Space densities of radio AGN: The CoNFIG sample
Melanie A. Gendre, Jasper V. Wall
The Combined NVSS-FIRST Galaxy (CoNFIG) survey was defined by selecting all sources with S_1.4GHz > 1.3Jy from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) in the north field of the Faint Images…
Steep functions in astronomy: the RQSO z-cutoff debate
J. V. Wall
Astronomers traditionally find steep, open-ended functions difficult: the log N - log S curve for example, or the probability-area-radius relation in making cross-waveband identifi…
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…
The CORALS Survey I: New Estimates of the Number Density and Gas Content of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems Free from Dust Bias
Sara L. Ellison, Lin Yan, Isobel M. Hook +3
(Abridged) We present the first results from the Complete Optical and Radio Absorption Line System (CORALS) survey. We have compiled a homogeneous sample of radio-selected QSOs fro…
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 Redshift Distribution of FIRST Radio Sources at 1 mJy
M. Magliocchetti, S. J. Maddox, J. V. Wall +2
We present spectra for a sample of radio sources from the FIRST survey, and use them to define the form of the redshift distribution of radio sources at mJy levels.We targeted 365…
Cosmic evolution and unified models for radio AGN
J. V. Wall, C. A. Jackson
A new method of deriving the cosmological evolution of radio AGN is described which is based on the premise of unified models for quasars and radio galaxies.
Extragalactic radio source evolution under the dual-population unification scheme
C A Jackson, J V Wall
We show that a dual-population unification scheme provides a successful paradigm with which to describe the evolution and beaming of all bright extragalactic radio sources. The par…
Constraints on the Clustering, Biasing and Redshift Distribution of Radio Sources
M. Magliocchetti, S. J. Maddox, O. Lahav +1
We discuss how different theoretical predictions for the variance of the distribution of radio sources can be matched to measurements from the FIRST survey at different flux…
Variance and Skewness in the FIRST survey
M. Magliocchetti, S. J. Maddox, O. Lahav +1
We investigate the large-scale clustering of radio sources in the FIRST 1.4-GHz survey by analysing the distribution function (counts in cells). We select a reliable sample from th…
The Redshift Cutoff and the Quasar Epoch
P. A. Shaver, I. M. Hook, C. A. Jackson +2
We have obtained complete redshift information for a sample of 442 radio-loud quasars with flux densities S(11cm) >= 0.25Jy. These come from a completely-identified sample of 878 f…
Searching for Large Scale Structure in Deep Radio Surveys
Audra Baleisis, Ofer Lahav, Andrew J. Loan +1
(Abridged Abstract) We calculate the expected amplitude of the dipole and higher spherical harmonics in the angular distribution of radio galaxies. The median redshift of radio sou…
The correlation function of radio sources
A. J. Loan, J. V. Wall, O. Lahav
We investigate the large-scale clustering of radio sources in the Green Bank and Parkes-MIT-NRAO 4.85 GHz surveys by measuring the angular two-point correlation function w(θ). Excl…
