The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - V. The 10k catalogue

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 322:4 (2001)

Authors:

SM Croom, RJ Smith, BJ Boyle, T Shanks, NS Loaring, L Miller, IJ Lewis

Abstract:

We present a catalogue comprising over 10 000 QSOs covering an effective area of 289.6 deg2, based on spectroscopic observations with the 2-degree Field (2dF) instrument at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This catalogue forms the first release of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey. QSO candidates with 18.25 < bJ < 20.85 were obtained from a single homogeneous colour-selected catalogue based on APM measurements of UK Schmidt photographic material. The final catalogue will contain approximately 25 000 QSOs and will be released to the public at the end of 2002, one year after the observational phase is concluded.

Cosmology from MAXIMA-1, BOOMERANG, and COBE DMR cosmic microwave background observations

Abstract:

To obtain further estimates of several cosmological parameters, the recent BOOMERANG-98 (B98) and MAXIMA-1 cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy data, as well as COBE DMR, were analyzed. The resulting data support the chief predictions of the inflation paradigm, that the geometry of the Universe is flat, and that the initial density perturbations are scale invariant, and with the corollary that the density of mass energy in the Universe is dominated by a form other than ordinary matter.
