Clustering Analyses of 300,000 Photometrically Classified Quasars--II. The Excess on Very Small Scales

Adam D. Myers, Robert J. Brunner, Gordon T. Richards +3

We study quasar clustering on small scales, modeling clustering amplitudes using halo-driven dark matter descriptions. From 91 pairs on scales <35 kpc/h, we detect only a slight ex…

Clustering Analyses of 300,000 Photometrically Classified Quasars--I. Luminosity and Redshift Evolution in Quasar Bias

Adam D. Myers, Robert J. Brunner, Robert C. Nichol +3

Using ~300,000 photometrically classified quasars, by far the largest quasar sample ever used for such analyses, we study the redshift and luminosity evolution of quasar clustering…

The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: The LRG 2-Point Correlation Function and Redshift-Space Distortions

Nicholas P. Ross, J. da Angela, T. Shanks +17

We present a clustering analysis of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) using nearly 9 000 objects from the final catalogue of the 2dF-SDSS LRG And QSO (2SLAQ) Survey. We measure the reds…

Radio galaxies in the 2SLAQ Luminous Red Galaxy Survey: I. The evolution of low-power radio galaxies to z~0.7

Elaine M. Sadler, Russell D. Cannon, Tom Mauch +15

We have combined optical data from the 2dF-SDSS Luminous Red Galaxy and QSO (2SLAQ) redshift survey with radio measurements from the 1.4 GHz VLA FIRST and NVSS surveys to identify…

The X-ray Properties of Early-Type Galaxies in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South

B. D. Lehmer, W. N. Brandt, D. M. Alexander +8

We investigate the evolution over the last 6.3 Gyr of cosmic time (i.e., since z ~ 0.7) of the average X-ray properties of early-type galaxies within the Extended Chandra Deep Fiel…

The UV Properties of SDSS Selected Quasars

George B. Trammell, Daniel E. Vanden Berk, Donald P. Schneider +4

We present an analysis of the broadband UV/optical properties of z<3.4 quasars matched in the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) General Data Release 1 (GR1) and the Sloan Digital S…
