This paper introduces a new program to find high-redshift radio galaxies in the southern hemisphere through ultra-steep spectrum (USS) selection. We define a sample of 234 USS radio sources with spectral indices alpha_408^843 < -1.0 and…

We present a formulation of observed number density fluctuations of gravitational-wave (GW) sources in a three dimensional space. In GW observations, redshift identification for each GW source is a challenging issue, in particular, for high…

We detect the peak of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the two-point correlation function of a spectroscopic sample of $25226$ clusters selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Galaxy clusters, as tracers of massive dark matter…

We positionally match the 6 cm GB6, 20 cm FIRST and NVSS, and 92 cm WENSS radio catalogs and find 16,500 matches in ~3,000 deg2 of sky. Using this unified radio database, we construct radio "color-magnitude-morphology" diagrams and find…

We have quantified the galaxy environments around a sample of 0.5 < z < 0.8 radio-quiet quasars using the amplitude of the spatial galaxy--quasar correlation function, B_gq. The quasars exist in a wide variety of environments, some sources…

This is the third paper of a series describing the Asiago-ESO/RASS QSO survey (AERQS), a project aimed at the construction of an all-sky statistically well-defined sample of relatively bright QSOs (B<15) at z<0.3. We present here the…

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…

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…

We present 1.4 and 5 GHz observations taken with the Very Large Array (VLA), and observations at 250 GHz obtained with the Max-Planck millimeter bolometer (MAMBO) at the IRAM 30~m telescope, of ten optically selected Quasi-stellar Objects…

We look at the impact of Infra-Red (IR) and radio point sources on upcoming large yield Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster surveys such as APEX, SPT and ACT. The IR and radio point source counts are based on observations by the the SCUBA and…

The Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS) is observing the entire sky north of $-40^{\circ}$ in the S-band ($2<\nu<4\,$GHz), with the highest angular resolution ($2''.5$) of any all-sky radio continuum survey to date. VLASS will cover its…

We present the results of Chandra ACIS-S snapshot observations of six radio-loud quasars (RLQs) at z=3.5-4.7. These observations sample luminous RLQs with moderate-to-high radio-loudness (R=200-9600) and aim to connect the X-ray properties…

Non-thermal properties of galaxy clusters have been studied with detailed and deep radio images in comparison with X-ray data. While much progress has been made, most of the studied clusters are at a relatively low redshift (z < 0.3). We…

We have compiled a sample of 234 ultra-steep-spectrum(USS)-selected radio sources in order to find high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs). The sample is in the southern sky at -40 deg < DEC < -30 deg which is the overlap region of the 408-MHz…
