A search for distant radio galaxies from SUMSS and NVSS: II. Optical Spectroscopy

Carlos De Breuck, Ilana Klamer, Helen Johnston +4

This is the second in a series of papers presenting observations and results for a sample of 76 ultra-steep-spectrum (USS) radio sources in the southern hemisphere designed to find…

VIMOS-VLT and Spitzer observations of a radio galaxy at z=2.5

M. Villar-Martin, S. F. Sanchez, C. De Breuck +8

We present: 1) a kinematic and morphological study of the giant Lya nebula associated with the radio galaxy MRC2104-242 (z = 2.49) based on integral field spectroscopic VIMOS data…

Very high-resolution radio observations of HzRGs

Miguel A. Perez-Torres, Carlos De Breuck, Wil van Breugel +1

We report on first results of an ongoing effort to image a small sample of high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) with milliarcsecond (mas) resolution, using very-long-baseline inter…

Feedback and Brightest Cluster Galaxy Formation: ACS Observations of the Radio Galaxy TN J1338--1942 at z=4.1

Andrew W. Zirm, R. A. Overzier, G. K. Miley +12

We present deep optical imaging of the z=4.1 radio galaxy TN J1338--1942 obtained using the ACS on-board HST. The radio galaxy is known to reside within a large galaxy overdensity…

CO(1-0) & CO(5-4) observations of the most distant known radio galaxy at z=5.2

Ilana Klamer, Ron Ekers, Elaine Sadler +3

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array we have detected CO(1-0) and CO(5-4) from TNJ0924-2201 at z=5.2, the most distant radio galaxy known to date. This is the second highest…

Properties of Ly-alpha emitters around the radio galaxy MRC 0316-257

B. P. Venemans, H. J. A. Rottgering, G. K. Miley +9

Observations of the radio galaxy MRC 0316-257 at z=3.13 and the surrounding field are presented. Using narrow- and broad-band imaging obtained with the VLT, 77 candidate Ly-alpha e…
