Tunable-filter imaging of quasar fields at z~1. I. A cluster around MRC B0450-221
Joanne C. Baker, Richard W. Hunstead, Malcolm N. Bremer +3
Using a combination of multicolour broad- and narrow-band imaging techniques and follow-up spectroscopy, we have detected an overdensity of galaxies in the field of quasar MRC B045…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Near Infrared Galaxy Luminosity Functions
Shaun Cole, Peder Norberg, Carlton Baugh +24
We combine the 2MASS extended source catalogue and the 2dFGRS to produce an IR selected galaxy catalogue with 17,173 measured redshifts. We use this extensive dataset to estimate t…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The Number and Luminosity Density of Galaxies
Nicholas Cross, Simon P. Driver, Warrick Couch +29
We present the bivariate brightness distribution (BBD) for the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) based on a preliminary subsample of 45,000 galaxies. The BBD is an extension of t…
Microslit Nod-shuffle Spectroscopy - a technique for achieving very high densities of spectra
Karl Glazebrook, Joss Bland-Hawthorn
We describe a new approach to obtaining very high surface densities of optical spectra in astronomical observations with extremely accurate subtraction of night sky emission. The o…
Detecting Dark Matter in High Velocity Clouds
Geraint F. Lewis, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Brad C. Gibson +1
Many high velocity HI clouds (HVCs) are now believed to be scattered throughout the Galactic halo on scales of tens of kiloparsecs. Some of these clouds appear to contain substanti…
Tunable Imaging Filters in Astronomy
J. Bland-Hawthorn
While tunable filters are a recent development in night time astronomy, they have long been used in other physical sciences, e.g. solar physics, remote sensing and underwater commu…
