The REFLEX galaxy cluster survey. VIII. Spectroscopic observations and optical atlas (2009)

Guzzo, L., Schuecker, P., Boehringer, H., Collins, C. A., Ortiz-Gil, A., De Grandi, S., ...

We present the final data from the spectroscopic survey of the ROSAT-ESO Flux-Limited X-ray (REFLEX) catalog of galaxy clusters. The REFLEX survey covers 4.24 steradians (34% of the entire sky) below...

The Evolution of Radio-Loud Quasars at High Redshift (2007)

I. M. Hook, P. A. Shaver, R. G. Mcmahon

Abstract. We present results from two surveys for radio-loud quasars. These are (1) a northern survey reaching S 5GHz = 0:2Jy and (2) the Parkes QSO survey reaching S 2:7GHz = 0:25Jy which together...

The Parkes quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum sample 3. Space density and evolution of QSOs (2004)

Wall, J. V., Jackson, C. A., Shaver, P. A., Hook, I. M., Kellermann, K. I.

We analyze the Parkes quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum sample of QSOs in terms of space density, including the redshift distribution, the radio luminosity function, and the evidence for a redshift...

The Parkes quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum sample 2. New Optical Spectra and Redshift Measurements (2002)

Hook, I. M., Shaver, P. A., Jackson, C. A., Wall, J. V., Kellermann, K. I.

We present optical spectra and redshift measurements for 178 flat-spectrum objects from the Parkes quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum sample. These spectra were obtained in order to compile a complete...

Discovery of Radio-loud Quasars with Redshifts above 4 from the PMN sample (2002)

Hook, I. M., McMahon, R. G., Shaver, P. A., Snellen, I. A. G.

We present results of a new, large survey for high-redshift radio-loud quasars, which targets quasars with z>4. The survey is based on the PMN and NVSS radio surveys, optically identified using...

The REFLEX Cluster Survey: Observing Strategy and First Results on Large-Scale Structure (1999)

Guzzo, L., Boehringer, H., Schuecker, P., Collins, C. A., Schindler, S., Neumann, D. M., ...

We give a general description of the optical observing strategy of the ROSAT-ESO Flux-Limited X-ray (REFLEX) cluster survey. This presently includes 460 clusters of galaxies selected from the ROSAT...

The enhancement and decrement of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect towards the ROSAT Cluster RXJ0658-5557The enhancement and decrement of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect towards the ROSAT Cluster RXJ0658-5557 (1999)

Booth, R., Nyman, L. A. A., Lemke, R., Shaver, P. A., Martinis, L., Dall'Oglio, G., ...

Published in: Astrophys. J. 513 (1999) 23 citations recorded in [Science Citation Index] Abstract: We report simultaneous observations at 1.2 and 2 mm, with a double channel photometer on the SEST...

Discovery of distant high luminosity infrared galaxies (1998)

Van Der Werf, Paul P., Clements, D. L., Shaver, P. A., Hawkins, M. R. S.

We have developed a method for selecting the most luminous galaxies detected by IRAS based on their extreme values of R, the ratio of 60 micron and B-band luminosity. These objects have optical...

Spectroscopy of the optical Einstein ring 0047-2808 (1998)

Warren, S. J., Iovino, A., Hewett, P. C., Shaver, P. A.

We present optical and near-infrared spectroscopic observations of the optical Einstein ring 0047-2808. We detect both [OIII] lines 4959, 5007 near 2.3 micron, confirming the redshift of the lensed...

The Redshift Cutoff and the Quasar Epoch (1998)

Shaver, P. A., Hook, I. M., Jackson, C. A., Wall, J. V., Kellermann, K. I.

We have obtained complete redshift information for a sample of 442 radio-loud quasars with flux densities S(11cm) >= 0.25Jy. These come from a completely-identified sample of 878 flat-spectrum radio...
