High-redshift clusters from NVSS: The TexOx Cluster (TOC) Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
The TexOx Cluster (TOC) Survey uses overdensities of radiosources in the NVSS to trace clusters of galaxies. The links between radiosources and rich environments make this a powerful way to find clusters which may potentially be overlooked by other selection techniques. By including constraints from optical surveys, TOC is an extremely efficient way to find clusters at high redshift. One such field, TOC J0233.3+3021, contains at least one galaxy cluster (at z ∼ 1.4) and has been detected using the SunyaevZel’dovich (SZ) effect. Even in targetted deep optical observations, however, distinguishing the cluster galaxies from the background is difficult, especially given the tendency of TOC to select fields containing multiple structures at different redshifts.

The Triggering and Bias of Radio Galaxies
We present new results on the clustering and three-dimensional distribution of radio galaxies from the Texas-Oxford NVSS Structure (TONS) survey. The TONS survey was constructed to look at the distribution of radio galaxies in a region of moderate (0 ∼ z < ∼ 0.5) redshifts by matching NVSS sources with objects in APM catalogues to obtain a sample of optically bright (R ≤ 19.5), radio faint (1.4...
متن کاملEvolutionary Map of the Universe : Tracing Clusters to High Redshift
The Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a new radio-telescope being built in Western Australia. One of the key surveys for which it is being built is EMU (Evolutionary Map of the Universe), which will make a deep (∼10 μJy/bm rms) radio continuum survey covering the entire sky as far North as +30◦. EMU may be compared to the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS), except that it will have about 45 times th...
متن کاملRevised statistics of radio halos and the re-acceleration model
Aims. The statistical properties of radio halos can be used to discriminate among the possible models for their origin. Therefore an unbiased and exhaustive investigation in this direction is crucial. Methods. With this goal in mind in this paper we revise the occurrence of radio halos in the redshift range 0-0.4, combining the low redshift (z < 0.2) statistical study of XBACs clusters with the...
متن کاملAges and evolution of early–type cluster galaxies at z ∼ 1 from the ACS intermediate redshift cluster survey
HST permits the study of high–z cluster galaxies in unprecedented detail and offers a unique opportunity to examine the processes driving galaxy formation. As part of our Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) intermediate redshift cluster survey, we have observed 8 galaxy clusters with redshift betwen 0.8 and 1.3. At these redshifts, galaxy clusters are still assembling and galaxies are evolving to...
متن کاملCENSORS: A Combined EIS-NVSS Survey Of Radio Sources. I. Sample definition, radio data and optical identifications
A new sample of radio sources, with the designated name CENSORS (A Combined EISNVSS Survey Of Radio Sources), has been defined by combining the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) at 1.4 GHz with the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) Patch D, a 3 by 2 degree region of sky centred at 09 51 36.0, −21 00 00 (J2000). New radio observations of 199 NVSS radio sources with NVSS flux densities S1.4 GHz > 7.8 mJy are pre...
