Mapping the Local and Distant Universe with SUMSS
Abstract
The Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS) is a radio continuum imaging survey of the southern sky at 843 MHz, with similar sensitivity and resolution to the northern NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS). We have combined radio data from SUMSS and NVSS with optical spectra from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and 6dF Galaxy Survey to study the space distribution and properties of both AGN and star-forming galaxies in the local universe (redshift range 0<z<0.3). We also discuss new results on radio-source clustering in the more distant universe (z∼1) and present the first results from a search for the most distant (z>3) southern radio galaxies.
