Evidence for Galaxy Formation at High Redshift. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shanks, T., Metcalfe, N., Fong, D., McCracken, H., Campos, A., & Thompson, D. (2000, August). Evidence for Galaxy Formation at High Redshift. Presented at The Extragalactic Infrared Background and its Cosmological Implications., Manchester, UK

We present new evidence that simple evolutionary models where the star-formation rate in galaxies increases exponentially with redshift but the space density of galaxies remains constant with redshift, give very precise fits to the number count of Ly...

Galaxy number counts - V. Ultradeep counts: the Herschel and Hubble deep fields (2001)
Journal Article
Metcalfe, N., Shanks, T., Campos, A., McCracken, H., & Fong, R. (2001). Galaxy number counts - V. Ultradeep counts: the Herschel and Hubble deep fields. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 323(4), 795-830. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2001.04168.x

We present u, b, r and i galaxy number counts and colours from both the North and South Hubble Space Telescope Deep Fields and the William Herschel Deep Field. The latter comprises a 7×7 arcmin2 area of sky, reaching b28.5 at its deepest. Following M... Read More about Galaxy number counts - V. Ultradeep counts: the Herschel and Hubble deep fields.

The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - V. The 10k catalogue (2001)
Journal Article
Croom, S., Smith, R., Boyle, B., Shanks, T., Loaring, N., Miller, L., & Lewis, I. (2001). The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - V. The 10k catalogue. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 322(4), L29-L36. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2001.04474.x

We present a catalogue comprising over 10 000 QSOs covering an effective area of 289.6 deg2, based on spectroscopic observations with the 2-degree Field (2dF) instrument at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This catalogue forms the first release of the... Read More about The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - V. The 10k catalogue.
