We present the techniques used to determine redshifts and to characterize the spectra of objects in the Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey in terms of spectral classes and redshift quality classes. These are then applied to spectra from…

The results of a spectroscopic investigation of a complete sample of objects with $K_s<20$ mag in a 2 by 7.3 arcmin field at J005325+1234 are reported. Redshifts were successfully obtained for 163 of the 195 objects in the sample; these…

We present results from a 221.9 ks Chandra exposure of the HDF-N and its vicinity, concentrating on the 8.6' X 8.7' area covered by the Caltech Faint Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (the `Caltech area'). The minimum detectable fluxes in the…

Using the multislit LDSS-2 spectrograph on the {\it William Herschel Telescope} we have completed a redshift survey in the magnitude range $22.5<B< 24$ which has produced 73 redshifts representing a 73\% complete sample uniformly-selected…

A redshift survey has been carried out in the region of the Hubble Deep Field North using the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph at the Keck Observatory. The resulting redshift catalog, which contains 671 entries, is a compendium of our…

We analyze the X-ray properties of a near-infrared selected (Ks < 20) sample of spectroscopically identified Extremely Red Objects (R-Ks>5) in a region of the Chandra Deep Field-South using the public 1 Ms observation. The 21 objects were…

We study the nature of faint, red-selected galaxies at z ~ 2-3 using the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) and Spitzer IRAC photometry. We detect candidate galaxies to H < 26 mag, probing lower-luminosity (lower mass) galaxies at these…

We present a multicolour catalogue of faint galaxies situated close to bright stars, V<15, with the aim of identifying high-redshift galaxies suitable for study with adaptive optics-equipped near-infrared imagers and spectrographs. The…

A clustering analysis is performed on two samples of $\sim 600$ faint galaxies each, in two widely separated regions of the sky, including the Hubble Deep Field. One of the survey regions is configured so that some galaxy pairs span angular…

We present a new sample of distant ultraluminous infrared galaxies. The sample was selected from a positional cross--correlation of the IRAS Faint Source Catalog with the FIRST database. Objects from this set were selected for spectroscopy…

We previously identified an excess of mostly red galaxies around 31 RLQs at z=1-2. These fields have an ERO (extremely red object, R-K>6) density 2.7 times higher than the field. Assuming the EROs are passively evolved galaxies at the…

We present the results of sub-mm, mm (850 um, 450 um and 1250 um) and radio (1.4 and 4.8 GHz) continuum observations of a sample of 27 K-selected Extremely Red Objects, or EROs, (14 of which form a complete sample with K < 20 and I-K > 5)…

We have obtained high dynamic range, good natural seeing i' images of BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) to search for the AGN host and thus constrain the source redshift. These objects are drawn from a sample of bright flat-spectrum radio…

We present results on a search of heavily obscured active galaxies z>1.7 using the rest-frame 9-20 keV excess for X-ray sources detected in the deep XMM-CDFS survey. Out of 176 sources selected with the conservative detection criteria (>8…

We investigate the nature of extremely red galaxies (ERGs), objects whose colours are redder than those found in the red sequence present in colour-magnitude diagrams of galaxies. We selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7…

This is the first paper in a series presenting and analyzing data for a K-selected sample of galaxies collected in order to identify and study galaxies at moderate to high redshift in rest-wavelength optical light. The sample contains 842…

Unlike at lower redshift, where there is a 40% detection rate, surveys for 21-cm absorption arising within the hosts of z > 1 radio galaxies and quasars have been remarkably unsuccessful. Curran et al.(2008) suggest that this is due to the…

We report 328 redshifts, b$_J$ magnitudes and b$_J$--r$_F$ colors of galaxies measured in a redshift survey of a 4$^\circ$ $\times$ 0.67$^\circ$ slice close to the north Galactic pole. The faintest galaxies in this survey have a magnitude…
