Abstract:

From new complete samples of radio sources selected at low flux limits in low radio frequency, which give significantly improved coverage of the luminosity-redshift plane, we are able to decouple dependencies of source properties on redshift, from those depending on luminosity. We describe, with particular reference to the unification of radio galaxies and quasars, trends in linear size and also discuss core properties of these objects.

Abstract:

We describe the selection of a sample of 34 radio sources from the 6C survey (Hales, Baldwin & Warner 1993) from a region of sky covering 0.133 sr. The selection criteria for this sample, hereafter called 6C*, were chosen to optimise the chances of finding radio galaxies at redshift z > 4. Optical follow-up observations have already led to the discovery of the most distant known radio galaxy at z = 4.41 (Rawlings et al. 1996). We present VLA radio maps and derive radio spectra for all the 6C* objects.
