The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - XI. The QSO Power Spectrum
P. J. Outram, Fiona Hoyle, T. Shanks +5
We present a power spectrum analysis of the final 2dF QSO Redshift Survey catalogue containing 22652 QSOs. Utilising the huge volume probed by the QSOs, we can accurately measure p…
The 2dF BL Lac Survey
D. Londish, S. M. Croom, B. J. Boyle +7
We have optically identified a sample of 56 featureless continuum objects without significant proper motion from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ). The steep number--magnitude rela…
The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - VIII. Absorption systems in the 10k catalogue
P. J. Outram, R. J. Smith, T. Shanks +4
We examine the highest S/N spectra from the 2QZ 10k release and identify over 100 new low-ionisation heavy element absorbers; DLA candidates suitable for higher resolution follow-u…
The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - V. The 10k catalogue
S. M. Croom, R. J. Smith, B. J. Boyle +4
We present a catalogue comprising over 10000 QSOs covering an effective area of 289.6 sq. degrees, based on spectroscopic observations with the 2-degree Field instrument at the Ang…
The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - II. Structure and evolution at high redshift
Scott M. Croom, T. Shanks, B. J. Boyle +4
We present a clustering analysis of QSOs over the redshift range z=0.3-2.9. We use a sample of 10558 QSOs taken from the preliminary catalogue of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ).…
A Spectacular Post-Starburst Quasar
M. S. Brotherton, Wil van Breugel, S. A. Stanford +6
We report the discovery of a spectacular ``post-starburst quasar'' UN J1025-0040 (B=19; z=0.634). The optical spectrum is a chimera, displaying the broad Mg II emission line and st…
Faint UBVRI CCD sequences for wide-field surveys -- II. UBVR sequences at declination=-30 deg
Scott M. Croom, A. Ratcliffe, Q. A. Parker +3
We present results from a continuing campaign to secure deep multi-colour CCD sequences for photometric calibration in UK Schmidt fields with galactic latitudes |b|>50deg. In this…
Discovery of Radio-loud Broad Absorption Line Quasars Using Ultraviolet Excess and Deep Radio Selection
M. S. Brotherton, Wil van Breugel, R. J. Smith +5
We report the discovery of five broad-absorption-line (BAL) QSOs in a complete sample of 111 ultraviolet excess (UVX) QSO candidates also detected in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey. All f…
Galaxy clusters in the Perseus-Pisces region - II. The peculiar velocity field
M. J. Hudson, J. R. Lucey, R. J. Smith +1
We have measured the mean peculiar motions of 103 early-type galaxies in 7 clusters in the Perseus-Pisces (PP) ridge or PP background, and a further 249 such galaxies in 9 calibrat…
Galaxy clusters in the Perseus-Pisces region - I. Spectroscopic and photometric data for early-type galaxies
R. J. Smith, J. R. Lucey, M. J. Hudson +1
We present new spectroscopic and photometric data for 137 early-type galaxies in nine clusters, and for a set of nearby standard galaxies. The clusters studied are Perseus (A0426),…
The environments of z<0.3 QSOs
R. J. Smith, B. J. Boyle, S. J. Maddox
We have carried out an investigation of the galaxy environments of low redshift () QSOs by cross-correlating the positions on the sky of X-ray-selected QSOs/AGN identified i…
