Cross-correlating WMAP5 with 1.5 million LRGs: a new test for the ISW effect (2009)

Sawangwit, U., Shanks, T., Cannon, R. D., Croom, S. M., Ross, Nicholas P., Wake, D. A.

We present the cross-correlation of the density map of LRGs and the temperature fluctuation in the CMB as measured by the WMAP5 observations. The LRG samples were extracted from imaging data of the...

The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: the QSO luminosity function at 0.4 (2009)

Croom, Scott M., Richards, Gordon T., Shanks, Tom, Boyle, Brian J., Strauss, Michael A., Myers, Adam D., ...

We present the QSO luminosity function of the completed 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) survey, based on QSOs photometrically selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey imaging data and then observed...

Clustering of Low-Redshift (z (2009)

Ross, Nicholas P., Shen, Yue, Strauss, Michael A., Berk, Daniel E. Vanden, Connolly, Andrew J., Richards, Gordon T., ...

We present measurements of the quasar two-point correlation function, \xi_{Q}, over the redshift range z=0.3-2.2 based upon data from the SDSS. Using a homogeneous sample of 30,239 quasars with...

Photometric Selection of Emission Line Galaxies, Clustering Analysis and a Search for the ISW effect (2009)

Bielby, Rich, Shanks, T., Sawangwit, U., Croom, S. M., Ross, Nicholas P., Wake, D. A.

We investigate the use of simple colour cuts applied to the SDSS optical imaging to perform photometric selections of emission line galaxies out to z

The Two-Point Correlation of 2QZ Quasars and 2SLAQ LRGs: From a Quasar Fueling Perspective (2009)

Norman, Dara J., DePropris, Roberto, Ross, Nicholas P.

Public data from the 2dF quasar survey (2QZ) and 2dF/SDSS LRG & QSO (2SLAQ), with their vast reservoirs of spectroscopically located and identified sources, afford us the chance to more accurately...

Quasar Clustering from SDSS DR5: Dependences on Physical Properties (2008)

Shen, Yue, Strauss, Michael A., Ross, Nicholas P., Hall, Patrick B., Lin, Yen-Ting, Richards, Gordon T., ...

Using a homogenous sample of 38,208 quasars with a sky coverage of $4000 {\rm deg^2}$ drawn from the SDSS Data Release Five quasar catalog, we study the dependence of quasar clustering on luminosity,...

The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO survey: evolution of the clustering of luminous red galaxies since z = 0.6 (2008)

Wake, David A., Sheth, Ravi K., Nichol, Robert C., Baugh, Carlton M., Bland-Hawthorn, Joss, Cannon, Russell, ...

We present an analysis of the small-to-intermediate scale clustering of samples of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) survey carefully...

The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO survey : QSO clustering and the L-z degeneracy (2008)

Da Angela, Jose A., Shanks, Tom, Croom, Scott M., Weilbacher, Peter M., Brunner, Robert J., Couch, Warrick J., ...

We combine the quasi-stellar object (QSO) samples from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) and the 2dF-Sloan Digital Sky Survey luminous red galaxy (LRG) and QSO Survey (2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO, hereafter...
