The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: The spectroscopic QSO catalogue
Scott M. Croom, Gordon T. Richards, Tom Shanks +27
We present the final spectroscopic QSO catalogue from the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Survey. This is a deep, 18<g<21.85 (extinction corrected), sample aimed at probing in detail…
Quasar Clustering from SDSS DR5: Dependences on Physical Properties
Yue Shen, Michael A. Strauss, Nicholas P. Ross +12
Using a homogenous sample of 38,208 quasars with a sky coverage of drawn from the SDSS Data Release Five quasar catalog, we study the dependence of quasar cluste…
Constraining the quasar population with the broad-line width distribution
S. Fine, S. M. Croom, P. F. Hopkins +12
We measure the width of the MgII line in quasar spectra from the SDSS, 2QZ and 2SLAQ surveys and, by invoking an unnormalised virial mass estimator, relate the scatte…
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO survey: evolution of the clustering of luminous red galaxies since z = 0.6
David A. Wake, Ravi K. Sheth, Robert C. Nichol +17
We present an analysis of the small-to-intermediate scale clustering of samples of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLA…
Radio galaxies in the 2SLAQ Luminous Red Galaxy survey: II. The stellar populations of radio-loud and radio-quiet LRGs
Helen M. Johnston, Elaine M. Sadler, Russell Cannon +3
We present an analysis of the optical spectra of a volume-limited sample of 375 radio galaxies at redshift 0.4<z<0.7 from the 2dF-SDSS Luminous Red Galaxy and QSO (2SLAQ) redshift…
Luminous Red Galaxy Clustering at z~0.7 - First Results using AAOmega
Nicholas P. Ross, T. Shanks, Russell D. Cannon +4
We report on the AAT-AAOmega LRG Pilot observing run to establish the feasibility of a large spectroscopic survey using the new AAOmega instrument. We have selected Luminous Red Ga…
Intrinsic galaxy alignments from the 2SLAQ and SDSS surveys: luminosity and redshift scalings and implications for weak lensing surveys
Christopher M. Hirata, Rachel Mandelbaum, Mustapha Ishak +5
Correlations between intrinsic shear and the density field on large scales, a potentially important contaminant for cosmic shear surveys, have been robustly detected at low redshif…
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: QSO clustering and the L-z degeneracy
J. da Angela, T. Shanks, S. M. Croom +12
We combine the QSO samples from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) and the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey (2SLAQ) in order to investigate the clustering of z~1.4 QSOs and measure the c…
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: The LRG 2-Point Correlation Function and Redshift-Space Distortions
Nicholas P. Ross, J. da Angela, T. Shanks +17
We present a clustering analysis of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) using nearly 9 000 objects from the final catalogue of the 2dF-SDSS LRG And QSO (2SLAQ) Survey. We measure the reds…
Radio galaxies in the 2SLAQ Luminous Red Galaxy Survey: I. The evolution of low-power radio galaxies to z~0.7
Elaine M. Sadler, Russell D. Cannon, Tom Mauch +15
We have combined optical data from the 2dF-SDSS Luminous Red Galaxy and QSO (2SLAQ) redshift survey with radio measurements from the 1.4 GHz VLA FIRST and NVSS surveys to identify…
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: The Star Formation Histories of Luminous Red Galaxies
Isaac G. Roseboom, Kevin A. Pimbblet, Michael J. Drinkwater +21
We present a detailed investigation into the recent star formation histories of 5,697 Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) based on the Hdelta (4101A) and [OII] (3727A) lines. LRGs are lum…
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Luminous Red Galaxy Survey
R. Cannon, M. Drinkwater, A. Edge +29
We present a spectroscopic survey of almost 15,000 candidate intermediate-redshift Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) brighter than i=19.8, observed with 2dF on the Anglo-Australian Tele…
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO survey: Evolution of the Luminosity Function of Luminous Red Galaxies to z=0.6
D. A. Wake, R. C. Nichol, D. J. Eisenstein +23
We present new measurements of the luminosity function (LF) of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the 2dF-SDSS LRG and Quasar (2SLAQ) survey.…
MegaZ-LRG: A photometric redshift catalogue of one million SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies
