Fine, S., Shanks, T., Johnston, R., Jarvis, M., & Mauch, T. (2015). Counting quasar–radio source pairs to derive the millijansky radio luminosity function and clustering strength to z = 3.5. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 452(3), 2692-2699. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv1193

We apply a cross-correlation technique to infer the S > 3 mJy radio luminosity function (RLF) from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) to z ∼ 3.5. We measure Σ the over density of radio sources around spectroscopically confirmed quasars. Σ is related to t...

The shell game: a panoramic view of Fornax (2015)
Journal Article
Bate, N., McMonigal, B., Lewis, G., Irwin, M., Gonzalez-Solares, E., Shanks, T., & Metcalfe, N. (2015). The shell game: a panoramic view of Fornax. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 453(1), 690-703. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv1684

We present a panoramic study of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, using data obtained as part of the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) ATLAS Survey. The data presented here – a subset of the full survey – uniformly cover a region of 25 deg2 centred on the... Read More about The shell game: a panoramic view of Fornax.

The VLT Survey Telescope ATLAS survey is an optical ugriz survey aiming to cover ≈4700 deg2 of the southern sky to similar depths as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). From reduced images and object catalogues provided by the Cambridge Astronomical... Read More about The VLT Survey Telescope ATLAS.

We present the selection algorithm and anticipated results for the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS). TDSS is an Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-IV Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) subproject that will provide initial id...

Two bright z > 6 quasars from VST ATLAS and a new method of optical plus mid-infrared colour selection (2015)
Journal Article
Carnall, A., Shanks, T., Chehade, B., Fumagalli, M., Rauch, M., Irwin, M., …Metcalfe, N. (2015). Two bright z > 6 quasars from VST ATLAS and a new method of optical plus mid-infrared colour selection. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 451(1), L16-L20. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slv057

We present the discovery of two z > 6 quasars, selected as i-band dropouts in the Very Large Telescope Survey Telescope ATLAS survey. Our first quasar has redshift, z = 6.31 ± 0.03, z-band magnitude, zAB = 19.63 ± 0.08 and rest frame 1450 Å absolute...

The SAMI Galaxy Survey will observe 3400 galaxies with the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field spectrograph (SAMI) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope in a 3-yr survey which began in 2013. We present the throughput of the SAMI system, the science ba... Read More about The SAMI Galaxy Survey: instrument specification and target selection.
