We present the final spectroscopic QSO catalogue from the 2dF-SDSS LRG (luminous red galaxy) and QSO (2SLAQ) survey. This is a deep, 18 < g < 21.85 (extinction corrected), sample aimed at probing in detail the faint end of the broad line active galactic nuclei luminosity distribution at z ≲ 2.6 . The candidate QSOs were selected from SDSS photometry and observed spectroscopically with the 2dF spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This sample covers an area of 191.9 deg2 and contains new spectra of 16 326 objects, of which 8764 are QSOs and 7623 are newly discovered [the remainder were previously identified by the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) and SDSS]. The full QSO sample (including objects previously observed in the SDSS and 2QZ surveys) contains 12 702 QSOs. The new 2SLAQ spectroscopic data set also contains 2343 Galactic stars, including 362 white dwarfs, and 2924 narrow emission-line galaxies with a median redshift of z = 0.22 .
We present detailed completeness estimates for the survey, based on modelling of QSO colours, including host-galaxy contributions. This calculation shows that at g ≃ 21.85 QSO colours are significantly affected by the presence of a host galaxy up to redshift z ∼ 1 in the SDSS ugriz bands. In particular, we see a significant reddening of the objects in g − i towards the fainter g -band magnitudes. This reddening is consistent with the QSO host galaxies being dominated by a stellar population of age at least 2–3 Gyr.

We present a detailed investigation into the recent star formation histories of 5697 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) based on the Hδ (4101 Å), and [O ii ] (3727 Å) lines and the D4000 index. LRGs are luminous ( L > 3 L *) galaxies which have been selected to have photometric properties consistent with an old, passively evolving stellar population. For this study, we utilize LRGs from the recently completed 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey (2SLAQ). Equivalent widths of the Hδ and [O ii ] lines are measured and used to define three spectral types, those with only strong Hδ absorption (k+a), those with strong [O ii ] in emission (em) and those with both (em+a). All other LRGs are considered to have passive star formation histories. The vast majority of LRGs are found to be passive (∼80 per cent); however, significant numbers of k+a (2.7 per cent), em+a (1.2 per cent) and em LRGs (8.6 per cent) are identified. An investigation into the redshift dependence of the fractions is also performed. A sample of SDSS MAIN galaxies with colours and luminosities consistent with the 2SLAQ LRGs is selected to provide a low-redshift comparison. While the em and em+a fractions are consistent with the low-redshift SDSS sample, the fraction of k+a LRGs is found to increase significantly with redshift. This result is interpreted as an indication of an increasing amount of recent star formation activity in LRGs with redshift. By considering the expected lifetime of the k+a phase, the number of LRGs which will undergo a k+a phase can be estimated. A crude comparison of this estimate with the predictions from semi-analytic models of galaxy formation shows that the predicted level of k+a and em+a activities is not sufficient to reconcile the predicted mass growth for massive early types in a hierarchical merging scenario. 相似文献

Using the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7), we investigate the environmental dependence of stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR) and specific star formation rate (SSFR) of LRGs. It is found that stellar mass of LRGs nearly is independent of local environments, and that the environmental dependence of SFR and SSFR in the LRG sample is much weaker than the one in the Main galaxy sample. One possible explanation is that galaxy color and morphology are a pair of galaxy properties most predictive of local environments, while LRGs are a group of galaxies that are likely to be luminous, red and of early types (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

We investigate the Holmberg effect of Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) pairs of the SDSS Data Release 4 (SDSS4). It is found that the Holmberg effect of LRG pairs has no statistical significance. According to types of the two components in each pair, we divide the isolated LRG pair sample into three subsamples: the early+early subsample, the late+late subsample and the early+late subsample. Further analyses show that all LRG pair subsamples do not exhibit statistically significant Holmberg effect. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

For the first time, the OMC-2/3 region was mapped in C2H (1-0), HC3N (10-9) and HNC (1-0) lines. In general, the emissions from all the three molecular species reveal an extended filamentary structure. The distribution of C2H cores almost follows that of the 1300μm condensations, which might suggest that C2H is a good tracer to study the core structure of molecular clouds. The core masses traced by HNC are rather ?at, ranging from 18.8 to 49.5 M , while also presenting a large span for those from C2H, rangi... 相似文献

We have obtained high time resolution (seconds) photometry of LMC X-2 in 1997 December, simultaneously with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer ( RXTE ), in order to search for correlated X-ray and optical variability on time-scales from seconds to hours. We find that the optical and X-ray data are correlated only when the source is in a high, active X-ray state. Our analysis shows evidence for the X-ray emission leading the optical with a mean delay of <20 s. The time-scale for the lag can be reconciled with disc reprocessing, driven by the higher-energy X-rays, only by considering the lower limit for the delay. The results are compared with a similar analysis of archival data of Sco X-1. 相似文献

Correlation properties of the large-scale structure of the distribution of luminous red galaxies are evaluated using data
from Data Release 5 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The correlations on small scales are characterized by the distribution
of distances to the nearest neighboring galaxy ω(r). The conditional number density Γ(r) indicates a power law correlation with an exponent γ = 1.0±0.1 over scales of [1, 30] Mpc/h in redshift space. For larger scales of [30, 200] Mpc/h, a transition from a power
law to a flat segment is observed. However, the presence of a flat segment in the estimated conditional density is only a
necessary, but not sufficient, condition for homogeneity of a given sample. In particular, the flat segment may be caused
by the presence of superlarge structures (such as have been discovered in the most recent ultra-deep COSMOS survey) which
lead to a systematic shift in the estimated conditional number density. The behavior of the reduced two-point correlation
function) ξ(r) is also discussed for scales of [1, 200] Mpc/h. Over small scales, where ξ(r) >> 1, the slopes of the reduced correlation function and the conditional number density are the same.

We introduce the log(Hα/[S ii ]λλ6717+6731) versus log(Hα/[N ii ]λ6583) (S2N2) diagnostic diagram as a metallicity and ionization parameter indicator for H ii regions in external galaxies. The location of H ii regions in the S2N2 diagram was studied both empirically and theoretically. We found that, for a wide range of metallicities, the S2N2 diagram gives single-valued results in the metallicity–ionization parameter plane. We demonstrate that the S2N2 diagram is a powerful tool to estimate metallicities of high-redshift ( z ∼ 2) H ii galaxies. Finally, we derive the metallicity for 76 H ii regions in M 33 from the S2N2 diagram and calculate an O/H abundance gradient for this galaxy of −0.05 (±0.01) dex kpc−1 . 相似文献

We present X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the extremely luminous infrared galaxy IRAS 09104+4109 obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. With the arcsec resolution of Chandra , an unresolved source at the nucleus is separated from the surrounding cluster emission. A strong iron K line at 6.4 keV on a very hard continuum is detected from the nuclear source, rendering IRAS 09104+4109 the most distant reflection-dominated X-ray source known. Combined with the BeppoSAX detection of the excess hard X-ray emission, it provides further strong support for the presence of a hidden X-ray source of quasar luminosity in this infrared galaxy. Also seen is a faint linear structure to the north, which coincides with the main radio jet. An X-ray deficit in the corresponding region suggests an interaction between the cluster medium and the jet driven by the active nucleus. 相似文献
