The possible detection of high redshift Type II QSOs in deep fields

Avery Meiksin

The colours of high redshift Type II QSOs are synthesized from observations of moderate redshift systems. It is shown that Type II QSOs are comparable to starbursts in their succes…

Colour corrections for high redshift objects due to intergalactic attenuation

Avery Meiksin

Corrections to the magnitudes of high redshift objects due to intergalactic attenuation are computed using current estimates of the properties of the intergalactic medium. The resu…

The Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

J. K. Adelman-McCarthy et al.

This paper describes the fourth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), including all survey-quality data taken through June 2004. The data release includes five-band…

The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: The z<2.1 Quasar Luminosity Function from 5645 Quasars to g=21.85

G. T. Richards, S. M. Croom, S. F. Anderson +25

We have used the 2dF instrument on the AAT to obtain redshifts of a sample of z<3, 18.0<g<21.85 quasars selected from SDSS imaging. These data are part of a larger joint programme:…

Detection of the Baryon Acoustic Peak in the Large-Scale Correlation Function of SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies

D. J. Eisenstein, I. Zehavi, D. W. Hogg +45

We present the large-scale correlation function measured from a spectroscopic sample of 46,748 luminous red galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The survey region covers 0.7…

An Empirical Calibration of the Completeness of the SDSS Quasar Survey

Daniel E. Vanden Berk, Donald P. Schneider, Gordon T. Richards +10

Spectra of nearly 20000 point-like objects to a Galactic reddening corrected magnitude of i=19.1 have been obtained to test the completeness of the SDSS quasar survey. The spatiall…
