Clustering of galaxies at faint magnitudes
Significant uncertainties exist in the measured amplitude of the angular two-point correlation function of galaxies at magnitudes I 26 and fainter. Published results from HST and ground-based galaxy catalogs seem to differ by as much as a factor of 3, and it is not clear whether the correlation amplitude as a function of magnitude increases or decreases in the faintest magnitude bins. In order ...
متن کاملA Complete Sample of Quasars from the 7c Redshift Survey
We present details of a new sample of radio-loud quasars drawn from 0.013 sr of the 7C Redshift Survey. This sample is small (21 quasars) but complete in that every object with an unresolved nucleus and/or broad emission lines with S151MHz > 0.5 Jy has been discovered. The dependence of the quasar fraction with redshift and radio luminosity is investigated, providing new evidence supporting the...
متن کاملFaint star counts with HST
We describe a program of star counts in the range 19 ∼< I ∼< 26 made with the WFPC cameras aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Red (V − I > 1.0) stars at these magnitudes are primarily disk and spheroid M dwarfs. The stars are found both on dedicated images as part of the parallel program and by using appropriate archive data. We measure the faint end of the luminosity functions of the disk and ...
متن کاملTime-delay quasars: scales and orders of magnitudes
We can think of a lensed quasar as taking the Hubble time, shrinking it by ∼ 10−11, and then presenting the result to us as a time delay; the shrinking factor is of the order of fractional sky-area that the lens occupies. This cute fact is a straightforward consequence of lensing theory, and enables a simple rescaling of time delays. Observed time delays have a 40-fold range, but after rescalin...
متن کاملThe Optical-Infrared Colour Distribution of a Statistically-Complete Sample of Faint Field Spheroidal Galaxies
In hierarchical models, where spheroidal galaxies are primarily produced via a continuous merging of disk galaxies, the number of intrinsically red systems at faint limits will be substantially lower than in “traditional” models where the bulk of star formation was completed at high redshifts. In this paper we analyse the optical–nearinfrared colour distribution of a large flux-limited sample o...
