Deviations from passive evolution - star formation and the UV excess in z~1 radio galaxies
K. J. Inskip, P. N. Best, M. S. Longair
Galaxy colours are determined for two samples of 6C and 3CR radio sources at z~1, differing by a factor of ~6 in radio power. Corrections are made for emission line contamination a…
On the evolution of the black hole:spheroid mass ratio
R. J. McLure, M. J. Jarvis, T. A. Targett +2
We present the results of a study which uses the 3CRR sample of radio-loud active galactic nuclei to investigate the evolution of the black-hole:spheroid mass ratio in the most mas…
The depolarisation properties of powerful radio sources: breaking the radio-power vs. redshift degeneracy
J. A. Goodlet, C. R. Kaiser, P. N. Best +1
We define 3 samples of extragalactic radio sources of type FRII, containing 26 objects in total. The control sample consists of 6C and 7C sources with radio powers of around 10e27…
The final two redshifts for radio sources from the equatorial BRL sample
P. N. Best, J. A. Peacock, M. H. Brookes +4
Best, Rottgering and Lehnert (1999, 2000a) defined a new sample of powerful radio sources from the Molonglo Reference Catalogue, for which redshifts were compiled or measured for 1…
The evolution of the cluster environments of radio sources at z<1.8
P. N. Best, M. D. Lehnert, H. J. A. Rottgering +1
An analysis of the cluster environments around distant radio galaxies is presented, in particular the results from new NTT deep optical-IR imaging of the fields of radio sources at…
A 98% spectroscopically complete sample of the most powerful equatorial radio sources at 408 MHz
P. N. Best, H. J. A. R"ottgering, M. D. Lehnert
A new sample of very powerful radio galaxies is defined from the Molonglo Reference Catalogue, according to the criteria S (408 MHz) > 5 Jy, -30 < Dec < 10 degrees, |b| > 10 degree…
