Radio and X-ray observations of galaxy clusters probe a direct link between cluster mergers and giant radio halos (RH), suggesting that these sources can be used as probes of the cluster merging rate with cosmic time. In this paper we carry…
In the context of the study of the ISW, we revisit the angular cross correlation of WMAP CMB data with the NVSS radio survey. We compute 2-point cross functions between the two surveys in real and in Fourier space, paying particular…
We present an analysis of the properties of optical counterparts of radio sources down to 1 mJy. Optical identifications have been obtained by matching together objects from the APM and FIRST surveys over the region $148.13^\circ\simlt {\rm…
We have observed the galaxy environments around a sample of 21 radio-loud, steep-spectrum quasars at 0.5<z<0.82, spanning several orders of magnitude in radio luminosity. The observations also include background control fields used to…
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) has been used at 1.38 and 2.38 GHz to survey seven southern Abell clusters of galaxies with high X-ray luminosities: A2746, A2837, A3126, A3216, A3230, A3827 and A3836. The clusters have also…
In this paper we cross-correlate the FIRST 1.4GHz radio survey with a wide field (~ 1.6deg^2) shallow [f(0.5-8keV) ~ 1e-14erg/s/cm^2] XMM-Newton survey. We find 12 X-ray/radio matches representing 4% of the X-ray selected sample. Most of…
We show that if a sample of galaxy clusters is complete above some mass threshold, then hierarchical clustering theories for structure formation predict its autocorrelation function to be determined purely by the cluster abundance and by…
Radio halos are synchrotron diffuse sources at the centre of a fraction of galaxy clusters. The study of large samples of clusters with adequate radio and X-ray data is necessary to investigate the origin of radio halos and their connection…
The magnification effects of clustered matter produce variations in the image sizes and number density of galaxies across the sky. This paper advocates the use of these effects in wide field surveys to map large-scale structure and the…
Radio emission has been detected in a broad variety of stellar objects from all stages of stellar evolution. However, most of our knowledge originates from targeted observations of small samples, which are strongly biased to sources which…
According to the Cosmological Principle, the matter distribution on very large scales should have a kinematic dipole that is aligned with that of the CMB. We determine the dipole anisotropy in the number counts of two all-sky surveys of…
Our aim is to study the large-scale structure of different types of AGN using the medium-deep XMM-LSS survey. We measure the two-point angular correlation function of ~ 5700 and 2500 X-ray point-like sources over the ~ 11 sq. deg. XMM-LSS…
Gravitational clustering broadens the count-in-cells distribution of galaxies for surveys along uncorrelated (well-separated) lines of sight beyond Poisson noise. A number of methods have proposed to measure this excess "cosmic" variance to…
The UH8K wide field camera of the CFHT was used to image 0.68 deg^2 of sky. From these images, ~20,000 galaxies were detected to completeness magnitudes V<23.5 and I<22.5. The angular correlation function of these galaxies is well…
Clustering properties of two samples of X-ray selected AGNs are compared with IR/Optical galactic samples. These are the Einstein Observatory Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey: EMSS; and a sample of 654 ROSAT detected radio quasars. The…
We compute the two-point angular correlation function $w(\theta)$ for a sample of $\sim$ 1700 galaxies to a magnitude-limit equivalent to $R \sim 29.5$ using a catalog derived from the Hubble Deep Field images. A non zero value of…
We measure the angular 2-point correlation functions of galaxies in a volume limited, photometrically selected galaxy sample from the fifth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We split the sample both by luminosity and galaxy type…
We present high-angular-resolution radio continuum observations of the Quintuplet cluster, one of the most emblematic massive clusters in the Galactic centre. Data were acquired in two epochs and at 6 and 10 GHz with the Karl J. Jansky Very…
We present the first results of our HST WFPC2 F814W snapshot imaging survey, targeting virtually all sub-mJy decimetric radio-selected star-forming galaxies. The radio selection at ~1 GHz is free from extinction effects and the radio…
