Implications for unified schemes from the quasar fraction and emission-line luminosities in radio-selected samples
We use a principal components analysis of radio-selected (3CRR, 6CE and 7CRS) AGN datasets to define two parameters related to low-frequency (151 MHz) radio luminosity L151 and [OIII] luminosity L[OIII]: a parameter α encoding the L151−L[OIII] correlation and a parameter β encoding scatter about this correlation. We describe methods for constructing generalized luminosity functions (GLFs) based...
متن کاملThe Luminosity Function of Magnitude and Proper - Motion Selected Samples
The luminosity function of white dwarfs is a powerful tool for studies of the evolution and formation of the Milky Way. The (theoretical) white dwarf cooling sequence provides a useful indicator of the evolutionary time scales involved in the chronometry and star formation history of the galactic disk, therefore, intrinsically faint (& old) white dwarfs in the immediate solar neighborhood can b...
متن کاملStar Formation Density and H α Luminosity Function of an Emission Line Selected Galaxy Sample at z ∼ 0 . 24 ⋆
We use narrowband imaging (FWHM = 70 Å) to select a sample of emission line galaxies between 0.20 . z . 1.22 in two fields covering 0.5 sq. deg. We use spectroscopic follow-up to select a sub-sample of Hα emitting galaxies at z ∼ 0.24 and determine the Hα luminosity function and star formation density at z ∼ 0.24 for both of our fields. Corrections are made for imaging and spectroscopic incompl...
متن کاملEMISSION-LINE OBJECTS FROM A PRELIMINARY UKST OBJECTIVE PRISM SURVEY
A visual search has been made of four fields using United Kingdom 1.2m Schmidt Objective Prism plates with a reciprocal dispersion of 1 180 A/mm at HP. Such plate material is ideally suited to searches for emission-line galaxies. We present a catalogue of 53 emission-line objects, which comprises 45 galaxies, where individual HI1 regions are resolved in 16 bright galaxies; 8 are emission li...
متن کاملUnification in the low radio luminosity regime: evidence from optical line emission
We address the question of whether or not the properties of all low-luminosity flat spectrum radio sources, not just the obvious BL Lac objects, are consistent with them being the relativistically beamed counterparts of the low radio luminosity radio galaxies (the Fanaroff-Riley type 1 FR I). We have accumulated data on a well-defined sample of low redshift, core-dominated, radio sources all of...
