Radio Galaxy Clustering at z ∼ 0.3
Radio galaxies are uniquely useful as probes of large-scale structure as their uniform identification with giant elliptical galaxies out to high redshift means that the evolution of their bias factor can be predicted. As the initial stage in a project to study large-scale structure with radio galaxies we have performed a small redshift survey, selecting 29 radio galaxies in the range 0.19 < z <...
متن کاملGalaxy Morphologies in the Cluster CL1358+62 at z=0.33
We describe the morphological composition of a sample of 518 galaxies in the field of CL1358+62 at z=0.33, drawn from a large HST mosaic covering 53 sq. arcmin. The sample is complete to I=22, corresponding to MV =-18.5 in the rest frame. The galaxy morphologies have been independently classified by the authors of this paper and by Alan Dressler. Dressler’s classifications place our work in con...
متن کاملEvolution of the galaxy luminosity function at z < 0.3
We measure the redshift-dependent luminosity function and the comoving radial density of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1 (SDSS DR1). Both measurements indicate that the apparent number density of bright galaxies increases by a factor≈ 3 as redshift increases from z = 0 to z = 0.3. This result is robust to the assumed cosmology, to the details of the K-correction and to d...
متن کاملHubble, Chandra and Keck Constraints on Massive Galaxy Clusters at z=0.2 and z=0.5
I present recent observations from two Hubble Space Telescope(HST)/ACS programs that target the most X–ray luminous and thus (presumably) most massive galaxy clusters at z=0.5 – the highest redshift at which complete, well–defined samples of such rare systems are available. The first program (GO:9836, PI: R.S. Ellis) exploits a huge mosaic of 41 ACS pointings spanning a 10 Mpc region centered o...
متن کاملThe DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: the relationship between galaxy properties and environment at z∼ 1
We study the mean environment of galaxies in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey as a function of rest-frame colour, luminosity, and [O II] 3727 Å equivalent width. The local galaxy overdensity for >14 000 galaxies at 0.75 < z < 1.35 is estimated using the projected thirdnearest-neighbour surface density. Of the galaxy properties studied, mean environment is found to depend most strongly on galaxy...
