The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The amplitudes of fluctuations in the 2dFGRS and the CMB, and implications for galaxy biasing
Ofer Lahav, Sarah L. Bridle, Will J. Percival +26
We compare the amplitudes of fluctuations probed by the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and by the latest measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies. By combining the…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The bias of galaxies and the density of the Universe
Licia Verde, Alan F. Heavens, Will J. Percival +27
We compute the bispectrum of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and use it to measure the bias parameter of the galaxies. This parameter quantifies the strength of clustering…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The b_J-band galaxy luminosity function and survey selection function
P. Norberg, S. Cole, C. Baugh +25
We use more than 110500 galaxies from the 2dF galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS) to estimate the b_J-band galaxy luminosity function at redshift z=0, taking account of evolution, the…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: constraints on cosmic star-formation history from the cosmic spectrum
I. K. Baldry, K. Glazebrook, C. M. Baugh +25
We present the first results on the history of star formation in the Universe based on the `cosmic spectrum', in particular, the volume-averaged, luminosity-weighted, stellar absor…
Galaxy Clusters in Hubble Volume Simulations: Cosmological Constraints from Sky Survey Populations
A. E. Evrard, T. J. MacFarland, H. M. P. Couchman +8
We use giga-particle N-body simulations to study galaxy cluster populations in Hubble Volumes of LCDM (Omega_m=0.3, Omega_Lambda=0.7) and tCDM (Omega_m=1) world models. Mapping pas…
Evidence for a non-zero Lambda and a low matter density from a combined analysis of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
George Efstathiou, Stephen Moody, John A. Peacock +24
We perform a joint likelihood analysis of the power spectra of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies under the assumptions…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: A targeted study of catalogued clusters of galaxies
Roberto De Propris, Warrick Couch, Matthew Colless +27
We have carried out a study of known clusters within the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) observed areas and have identified 431 Abell, 173 APM and 343 EDCC clusters. Precise re…
The Effects of Photoionization on Galaxy Formation - II: Satellites in the Local Group
A. J. Benson, C. S. Frenk, C. G. Lacey +2
We use a self-consistent model of galaxy formation and the evolution of the intergalactic medium to study the effects of the reionization of the universe at high redshift on the pr…
The Effects of Photoionization on Galaxy Formation - I: Model and Results at z=0
A. J. Benson, C. G. Lacey, C. M. Baugh +2
We develop a coupled model for the evolution of the global properties of the intergalactic medium (IGM) and the formation of galaxies, in the presence of a photoionizing background…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Galaxy luminosity functions per spectral type
D. S. Madgwick, O. Lahav, I. K. Baldry +24
We calculate the optical bj luminosity function of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) for different subsets defined by their spectral properties. These spectrally selected sub…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Spectra and redshifts
Matthew Colless, G. B. Dalton, S. J. Maddox +26
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) is designed to measure redshifts for approximately 250000 galaxies. This paper describes the survey design, the spectroscopic observations,…
Including star formation and supernova feedback within cosmological simulations of galaxy formation
Scott T. Kay, Frazer R. Pearce, Carlos S. Frenk +1
We investigate phenomenological models of star formation and supernova feedback in N-body/SPH simulations of galaxy formation. First, we compare different prescriptions in the lite…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The population of nearby radio galaxies at the 1 mJy level
M. Magliocchetti, S. J. Maddox, C. A. Jackson +21
We use redshift determinations and spectral analysis of galaxies in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey to study the properties of local radio sources with mJy. 557 objects dra…
Radio sources in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey - II. Local radio luminosity functions for AGN and star-forming galaxies at 1.4 GHz
