Journal Article
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..

We present maps, source catalogue and number counts of the largest, most complete and unbiased extragalactic submillimetre survey: the 850-μm SCUBA Half-Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES). Using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA)... Read More about The SCUBA half-degree extragalactic survey - II. Submillimetre maps, catalogue and number counts.

The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Luminous Red Galaxy Survey (2006)
Journal Article
Cannon, R., Drinkwater, M., Edge, A., Eisenstein, D., Nichol, R., Outram, P., …Schneider, D. (2006). The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Luminous Red Galaxy Survey. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 372(1), 425-442. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2006.10875.x

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
Wake, D., Nichol, R., Eisenstein, D., Loveday, J., Edge, A., Cannon, R., …Brinkmann, J. (2006). The 2df SDSS LRG and QSO survey: evolution of the luminosity function of luminous red galaxies to z= 0.6. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 372(2), 537-550. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2006.10831.x

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.

A panoramic mid-infrared survey of two distant clusters (2006)
Journal Article
Geach, J., Smail, I., Ellis, R., Moran, S., Smith, G., Treu, T., …Kodama, T. (2006). A panoramic mid-infrared survey of two distant clusters. Astrophysical Journal, 649(2), 661-672. https://doi.org/10.1086/506469

We present panoramic Spitzer MIPS 24 μm observations, covering ~9 × 9 Mpc2 (25' × 25') fields around two massive clusters, Cl 0024+16 and MS 0451-03, at z = 0.39 and z = 0.55, respectively, reaching a 5 σ flux limit of ~200 μJy. Our observations cove... Read More about A panoramic mid-infrared survey of two distant clusters.
