Testing Models of Radio Source Space Density Evolution with the SUMSS Survey
We present the population data as predicted by our space density analysis at the SUMSS frequency of 843 MHz. This data demonstrates the potential of the SUMSS survey to trace in detail the change-over in radio...

Variance and Skewness in the FIRST Survey
We investigate the large-scale clustering of radio sources by analysing the distribution function of the FIRST 1.4 GHz survey. We select a reliable galaxy sample from the FIRST catalogue, paying particular att...

Cosmological Inference from New Radio Surveys
In 1976 and 1977 a series of elegant papers by Adrian Webster (1976 et seq.) apparently laid to rest the prospect of topological cosmology from radio surveys. Introducing astronomers to Fourier Power Spectrum Ana...

Declining Quasar Fractions as Evidence for Unified Schemes
This paper presents results from our new statistical analysis which is based on unified schemes for the high-power FRII and moderate-power FRI radio sources, and which explores the evolution and Doppler beamin...

Clusters of Galaxies at Intermediate Redshifts from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey
One of the major topics in modern cosmology and astrophysics concerns the present status and the past evolution of clusters of galaxies, as well as the knowledge of their abundance, spatial correlations, morph...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Multi-Object Spectroscopy and Radio Surveys
Studies of radio-source astrophysics and cosmology are based on samples for which typically 10 to 100 redshifts have been measured. Such samples are grossly inadequate given the diversity of radio-source popul...

Decrease in the space density of quasars at high redshift
QUASARS have been found up to redshifts of almost five, corresponding to an epoch when the Universe was less than ten per cent of its present age. This leaves a rather short time for the formation of the galax...

Map** Large-Scale Structure with Radio Sources
In regions away from the Galactic plane, formal tests indicate an isotropic, random and independent distribution of radio sources on the sky (e.g. [1], although there are strong indications of large-scale anomali...

Space Densities for Powerful Radio Sources in the Light of Unification
As radio survey frequency is raised the proportion of flat-spectrum sources increases in bright fiux-limited samples (eg Wall 1994, Aust J Phys 47, 625). Differential source counts show a corresponding broadening...

The Space Density of High-Redshift Quasars
An upper limit on the space density of quasars at z > 5 is obtained independent of any optical magnitude limit, from the complete identification of a large sample of flat-spectrum radio sources. This upper lim...

Space Distribution of Radio-Source Populations
This paper sets out the status of data determining the space distribution of extragalactic radio-source populations, describes some recent results from analyses of the data, and indicates why and how the analy...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Interacting and Active IRAS Galaxies
We decided to study a complete sample of, predominantly high IR luminosity, IRAS galaxies to determine the fractions that were interacting or active.

Chapter
The Early Universe — An Observer’s View
Three aspects of an observer’s early universe are discussed: primordial helium abundance as determined from observations of blue compact galaxies; the small-scale structure of the microwave background radiatio...

Stellar Dynamics of Radio Elliptical Galaxies
Stellar kinematical and dynamical results are presented for 34 radio ellipticals. The radio galaxies we observed were brighter than m(B)=l6. The results show that these radio ellipticals are not generally more...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Radio Source Counts and their Interpretation
Radio source counts at several wavelengths are shown and discussed in terms of evolving populations. The deepest counts now reach a surface density close to a million sources per steradian. At this level essen...

Pavo XD-10, an X-ray QSO with extended optical structure
Deep charge-coupled device (CCD) images of the quasi-stellar object (QSO) identified with the Einstein X-ray source Pavo XD-10 show an optical structure that is dramatically extended. Here we discuss the morph...

A 6-CM Deep Sky Survey
In order to extend radio source counts to lower flux density, we have used the VLA to survey a small region of sky at 4.885 GHz (6 cm) to a limiting flux density of 50 µJy. Details of this deep survey are give...

New Limits to the Small Scale Fluctuations in the Cosmic Background Radiation
The VLA has been used at 4.9 GHz to observe a small region of sky in order to extend the radio source count to low flux density (Fomalont et al., these proceedings) and to look for small scale fluctuations in ...

Cosmological Evolution of QSOs and Radio Galaxies
These lectures represent a personal account of present understanding of the spatial distribution of QSOs and radio galaxies — the luminosity functions and their dependence on cosmic epoch. I suggest five inter...

A CCD image of the galactic centre
Because the galactic centre lies behind approximately 27 magnitudes of visual extinction, observations at visible wavelengths are impossible. The recent introduction of charge-coupled devices (CCDs) to astrono...
