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 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…
H-alpha Distance Constraints for High-Velocity Clouds in the Galactic Halo
J. Bland-Hawthorn, P. R. Maloney
We present some developments in determining H-alpha distances to high-velocity clouds (HVCs) in the Galactic halo. Until recently, it was difficult to assess the nature and origin…
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: 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,…
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…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The power spectrum and the matter content of the universe
Will J. Percival, Carlton M. Baugh, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +24
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey has now measured in excess of 160000 galaxy redshifts. This paper presents the power spectrum of the galaxy distribution, calculated using a direct F…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering
P. Norberg, C. M. Baugh, E. Hawkins +23
We investigate the dependence of the strength of galaxy clustering on intrinsic luminosity using the Anglo-Australian two degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). The 2dFGRS i…
The Taurus Tunable Filter Field Galaxy Survey: Sample Selection and Narrowband Number-Counts
D. H. Jones, J. Bland-Hawthorn
Recent evidence suggests a falling volume-averaged star-formation rate (SFR) over z ~ 1. It is not clear, however, the extent to which the selection of such samples influences the…
Jet- and Wind-Driven Ionized Outflows in the Superbubble and Star-Forming Disk of NGC 3079
G. Cecil, J. Bland-Hawthorn, S. Veilleux +1
HST WFPC2 images are presented that span the inner 19 kpc diameter of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 3079; they are combined with ground-based Halpha+[N II] Fabry-Perot spectra and…
