Quantifying angular clustering in wide-area radio surveys (2002)

Blake, Chris, Wall, Jasper

Detection of the velocity dipole in the radio galaxies of the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (2002)

Blake, Chris, Wall, Jasper

We are in motion against the cosmic backdrop. This motion is evidenced by the systematic temperature shift - or dipole anisotropy - observed in the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB)....
