Roseboom, I., Pimbblet, K., Drinkwater, M., Cannon, R., de Propris, R., Edge, A., …Weilbacher, P. (2006). The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: the star formation histories of luminous red galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 373(1), 349-360. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2006.11024.x

We present a detailed investigation into the recent star formation histories of 5697 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) based on the Hδ (4101 Å), and [O II] (3727 Å) lines and the D4000 index. LRGs are luminous (L > 3L*) galaxies which have been selected t... Read More about The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: the star formation histories of luminous red galaxies..

Journal Article

We present a spectroscopic survey of almost 15 000 candidate intermediate-redshift luminous red galaxies (LRGs) brighter than i= 19.8, observed with 2dF on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The targets were selected photometrically from the Sloan Digit... Read More about The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Luminous Red Galaxy Survey.

The 2df SDSS LRG and QSO survey: evolution of the luminosity function of luminous red galaxies to z= 0.6 (2006)
Journal Article

The 2df SDSS LRG and QSO survey: evolution of the luminosity function of luminous red galaxies to z= 0.6.

We present new measurements of the luminosity function (LF) of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the 2dF SDSS LRG and Quasar (2SLAQ) survey. We have carefully quantified, and corrected for, uncertainties in the... Read More about The 2df SDSS LRG and QSO survey: evolution of the luminosity function of luminous red galaxies to z= 0.6.
