We have discovered a highly significant over-density of galaxies at z=2.300+/-0.015 in the course of a redshift survey designed to select star-forming galaxies in the redshift range z=2.3+/-0.4 in the field of the bright z=2.72 QSO…
We report the discovery of a galaxy cluster at z=1.62 located in the Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic survey XMM-LSS field. This structure was selected solely as an overdensity of galaxies with red Spitzer/IRAC colors, satisfying…
We present a novel method to estimate accurate redshifts of star-forming galaxies by measuring the flux ratio of the same emission line observed through two adjacent narrow-band filters. We apply this method to our NB912 and new NB921 data…
We present new and exciting results on our search for large-scale structure at high redshift. Specifically, we have just completed a detailed analysis of the area surrounding the cluster CL0016+16 (z=0.546) and have the most compelling…
We present five newly found galaxy clusters at z>0.6 from the XMM Large-Scale Structure Survey (XMM-LSS). All five objects are extended X-ray sources in the XMM images. For three of them we have sufficient spectroscopically confirmed member…
We present new results of our wide-field redshift survey of galaxies in a 182 square degree region of the Shapley Supercluster (SSC) based on observations with the FLAIR-II spectrograph on the UK Schmidt Telescope. We present new…
(abridged) We present the results of a redshift survey of intercluster galaxies in the central region of the Shapley Concentration supercluster, aimed at determining the distribution of galaxies in between obvious overdensities. Our sample…
We report the discovery of a probable large scale structure composed of many galaxy clumps around the known twin clusters at z=1.26 and z=1.27 in the Lynx region. Our analysis is based on deep, panoramic, and multi-colour imaging…
Using a combination of near-infrared and optical photometry, along with multi-object spectroscopy, we have confirmed the existence of a high-redshift cluster of galxies at z = 0.96. The cluster was found using a wide-angle tailed radio…
We report the discovery of a group of galaxies at redshift 2.38. We imaged about 10% of a claimed supercluster of QSO absorption-lines at z=2.38 (Francis & Hewett 1993). In this small field (2 arcmin radius) we detect two Ly-alpha emitting…
We report on the first results from a redshift survey of a flux-limited sample of X-ray clusters selected serendipitously from the ROSAT PSPC data archive. We spectroscopically confirm 15 clusters in the range 0.3 < z < 0.7, to a flux limit…
We report 2868 new multi-object spectroscopic measurements of galaxy redshifts in an area roughly 12\deg$\times$ 6\deg (right ascension $\times$ declination) centered on the Shapley Supercluster (SSC). These correspond to 2627 different…
We analyzed the spatial distribution of 28500 photometrically selected galaxies with AB magnitude 23.5<R<25.5 and redshift 1.4<z<3.5 in 21 fields with a total area of 0.81 square degrees. The galaxies were divided into three subsamples,…
We have conducted a galaxy survey based on low-resolution slitless spectra taken from the automated CFHT-Laval survey. We present redshift distributions for 522 galaxies distributed in 4 distinct regions of the sky. Redshifts are determined…
The XXL Survey is the largest homogeneous and contiguous survey carried out with XMM-Newton. Covering an area of 50 square degrees distributed over two fields, it primarily investigates the large-scale structures of the Universe using the…
The importance of studying old elliptical galaxies at redshift z ~ 1.5 is reviewed, considering both what can be learned by extending studies of the evolution of cluster galaxy scaling relations to earlier cosmic epochs, and the age-dating…
We present the results from a multi-band optical imaging program which has definitively confirmed the existence of a supercluster at z = 0.91. Two massive clusters of galaxies, CL1604+4304 at z = 0.897 and CL1604+4321 at z = 0.924, were…
We present deep I, J_s, K_s imaging and optical spectroscopy of the newly discovered Red-Sequence Cluster Survey cluster RCS043938-2904.9. This cluster, drawn from an extensive preliminary list, was selected for detailed study on the basis…
It is natural to wonder how far the flat pattern in the distribution of galaxies and clusters of galaxies around the de Vaucoueurs Local Supercluster extends, and whether there are other similarly extended flat patterns in cosmic structure.…
We present unequivocal evidence for a huge (~80 x 100 x 100 Mpc^3) super-structure at redshift z=0.27 in the 3-D distribution of radio galaxies from the TONS08 sample, confirming tentative evidence for such a structure from the 7C redshift…
