We have carried out an investigation of the galaxy environments of low redshift ($z<0.3$) QSOs by cross-correlating the positions on the sky of X-ray-selected QSOs/AGN identified in the {\it Einstein} Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) with…
In this paper we present results of an analysis of radio-quiet QSO environments. The aim is to determine the relation between QSOs and galaxies as a function of redshift. We cross-correlate a sample of ~150 QSOs from optically and X-ray…
An angular correlation of low significance (2 sigma) is observed between 0.3 < z < 0.5 QSOs and V < 23 galaxies. Overall, the cross-correlation function between 82 intermediate-redshift (0.3 < z < 0.7), X-ray selected QSOs and V < 24…
The angular two-point correlation function between background QSOs and foreground galaxies induced by gravitational lensing is derived. It is shown that the shape of this correlation function depends sensitively on the spectrum of the…
QSOs have been thought to be important for tracing highly biased regions in the early universe, from which the present-day massive galaxies and galaxy clusters formed. While overdensities of star-forming galaxies have been found around QSOs…
We report a detection of galaxy-QSO cross-correlation w_GQ in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Early Data Release (EDR) over 0.2-30 arc-minute scales. We cross-correlate galaxy samples of different mean depths r'=19-22 (z_G =0.15-0.35)…
We examine the clustering of galaxies around a sample of 20 luminous low redshift (z<0.30) quasars observed with the Wide Field Camera-2 on the Hubble Space Telescope. The HST resolution makes possible galaxy identification brighter than…
A thorough study of QSO-galaxy correlations has been done on a region close to the North Galactic Pole using a complete subsample of the optically selected CFHT/MMT QSO survey and the galaxy catalog of Odewahn and Aldering (1995). Although…
The lensing of background QSOs by foreground galaxies is a powerful probe of the mass density of the Universe and the power spectrum of mass clustering. However, the 2dF QSO survey suggested that a strong anticorrelation effect at g<21 was…
Deep $B$ and $R$ band images (R<24 and B<25) have been obtained of a field of $\sim 6 \times 6$ arcmin around seven radio-loud quasars with $1<z<1.6$. A statistically significant excess of faint ($22.5<B\le 23.5$ and $22<R\le 23.0$)…
We cross-correlate APM and SDSS galaxies with background QSOs from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey, and detect a significant (2.8sigma) anti-correlation. The lack of a signal between 2dF stars and our galaxy samples suggests the…
We present measurements of the clustering properties of galaxies in the field of redshift range $0.5 \lesssim z \lesssim 1.5$ Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) radio sources selected from Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey and NRAO VLA Sky…
Luminous high-redshift QSOs are thought to exist within the most massive dark matter haloes in the young Universe. As a consequence they are likely to be markers for biased, over-dense regions where early galaxies cluster, regions that…
We present evidence for a positive angular correlation between bright submillimetre sources and low-redshift galaxies. The study was conducted using 39 sources selected from 3 contiguous, flux-limited SCUBA surveys, cross-correlated with…
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…
We calculate the angular cross-correlation function between background QSOs and foreground galaxies induced by the weak lensing effect of large-scale structures. Results are given for arbitrary Friedmann-Lemaitre cosmologies. The non-linear…
On five K-band Omega camera images, covering a total of 162.2 sq. arcmin to K=19.5, we investigate (i) the clustering environment of 5 radio galaxies at 0.7<z<0.8 and (ii) the galaxy angular correlation function. We detect a cluster of…
We present measurements of the angular correlation function of galaxies selected from a B_J=23.5 multicolour survey of two 5 degree by 5 degree fields located at high galactic latitudes. The galaxy catalogue of approximately 400,000…
Several recent studies show that bright, intermediate and high redshift optically and radio selected QSOs are positively correlated with nearby galaxies on a range of angular scales up to a degree. Obscuration by unevenly distributed…
We have conducted an optical study of the environments of seven radio-loud quasars at redshifts 1<z<1.6. In this paper we describe deep B and R band images obtained for fields of $\sim6\times$6 arcmin around these quasars with 3$\sigma$…
