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…

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…
