Abstract:

The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) has obtained redshifts for in excess of 23 000 QSOs selected by their u′, bJ, r colours using the 2-degree Field (2dF) facility at the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). In this paper, we describe the creation of the input catalogue from UK Schmidt photographic plates. All the plate materials used are described along with the techniques developed for flat-fielding variations in the photometric response of photographic emulsions. The selection criteria used for the survey are defined and their rationale discussed. Finally, several simple astrometric and photometric tests are performed. These demonstrate that, over the majority of the parameter space covered by this survey (18.25

The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: The z<2.1 Quasar Luminosity Function from 5645 Quasars to g=21.85

Abstract:

We have used the 2dF instrument on the AAT to obtain redshifts of a sample of z<3, 18.021 deep surveys. The 2SLAQ data exhibit no well defined ``break'' but do clearly flatten with increasing magnitude. The shape of the quasar luminosity function derived from 2SLAQ is in good agreement with that derived from type I quasars found in hard X-ray surveys. [Abridged]
