The Phoenix radio survey: the angular correlation function
Using the Phoenix radio survey, a homogeneous survey selected at 1.4GHz and covering an area of ≈3 deg, we analyse the clustering of the sub-mJy radio population using angular correlation function analysis. Extensive simulations are carried out to investigate the significance of the estimated angular correlation amplitudes. Our analysis show that for the S1.4 > 0.5mJy sub-samples the radio sour...
متن کاملMeasurement of the angular correlation function of radio galaxies from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey
We quantify the angular distribution of radio sources in the NVSS by measuring the two-point angular correlation function w(θ). By careful consideration of the resolution of radio galaxies into multiple components, we are able to determine both the galaxy angular clustering and the size distribution of giant radio galaxies. The slope of the correlation function for radio galaxies agrees with th...
متن کاملTHE PHOENIX DEEP SURVEY: A Deep Microjansky Radio Survey
The study of the nature of faint radio sources is of great importance since a significant fraction of these objects is thought to be composed of actively star-forming galaxies. Due to the increased sensitivity of radio telescopes, we are now not only able to catalogue large numbers of these sources in the sub-millijansky regime, but also to start the study of the nature of increasingly fainter ...
متن کاملInverting the Angular Correlation Function
The two point angular correlation function is an excellent measure of structure in the universe. To extract from it the three dimensional power spectrum, one must invert Limber’s Equation. Here we perform this inversion using a Bayesian prior constraining the smoothness of the power spectrum. Among other virtues, this technique allows for the possibility that the estimates of the angular correl...
متن کاملThe Phoenix survey: the pairing fraction of faint radio sources
The significance of tidal interactions in the evolution of the faint radio population (sub-mJy) is studied using a deep and homogeneous radio survey (1.4GHz), covering an area of 3.14deg and complete to a flux density of 0.4mJy. Optical photometric and spectroscopic data are also available for this sample. A statistical approach is employed to identify candidate physical associations between ra...
