We present the final spectroscopic QSO catalogue from the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Survey. This is a deep, 18<g<21.85 (extinction corrected), sample aimed at probing in detail the faint end of the broad line AGN luminosity distribution…

We present the QSO luminosity function of the completed 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) survey, based on QSOs photometrically selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey imaging data and then observed spectroscopically using the 2dF instrument on…

We present a catalogue comprising over 10000 QSOs covering an effective area of 289.6 sq. degrees, based on spectroscopic observations with the 2-degree Field instrument at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This catalogue forms the first…

In this Paper we present a clustering analysis of QSOs as a function of luminosity over the redshift range z=0.3-2.9. We use a sample of 10566 QSOs taken from the preliminary data release catalogue of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ). We…

We present preliminary results from the 2-degree Field (2dF) QSO Redshift Survey currently under way at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This survey aims to determine the redshifts of >25000 QSOs over a redshift range of 0.3<z<3.0 with the…

We have used the 2dF instrument on the AAT to obtain redshifts of a sample of z<3, 18.0<g<21.85 quasars selected from SDSS imaging. These data are part of a larger joint programme: the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey (2SLAQ). We describe the…

With ~10000 QSO redshifts, the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) is already the biggest individual QSO survey. The aim for the survey is to have ~25000 QSO redshifts, providing an order of magnitude increase in QSO clustering statistics. We…

We present clustering results from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) which currently contains over 20,000 QSOs at z<3. The two-point correlation function of QSOs averaged over the entire survey (<z>~1.5) is found to be similar to that of…

We present a clustering analysis of QSOs using over 20000 objects from the final catalogue of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ), measuring the z-space correlation function, xi(s). When averaged over the range 0.3<z<2.2 we find that xi(s) is…

We present some initial results from the 2dF QSO redshift survey. The aim of the survey is to produce an optically-selected catalogue of 25000 QSOs over the redshift range 0<z<3 using the 2-degree field at the Anglo-Australian Telescope.
