We have carried out multicolour imaging of a complete sample of radio-loud quasars at 0.6 < z < 1.1 and find groups or clusters of galaxies in the fields of at least 8 and possibly 13 of the 21 sources. There is no evidence for an evolution…

We report the discovery of a strong over-density of galaxies in the field of a radio galaxy at z=1.52 (4C65.22) based on our broad-band and narrow-band (H-alpha) photometry with Subaru Telescope. We find that H-alpha emitters are located in…

We present the first measurement of the angular correlation function in a $K$-selected galaxy survey, from two fields covering almost 10 square degrees. The angular correlation function at small angles is well described by a $\theta^{-0.8}$…

We study the environments of 6 radio galaxies at 2.2 < z < 2.6 using wide-field near-infrared images. We use colour cuts to identify galaxies in this redshift range, and find that three of the radio galaxies are surrounded by significant…

We study the angular clustering of $\sim 6\times 10^5$ NVSS sources on scales $\gtrsim 50 h^{-1}$ Mpc in the context of the $\Lambda$CDM scenario. The analysis partially relies on the redshift distribution of 131 radio galaxies, inferred…

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…

We present the clustering properties of a complete sample of 968 radio sources detected at 1.4 GHz by the VLA-COSMOS survey with radio fluxes brighter than 0.15 mJy. 92% have redshift determinations from the Laigle et al. (2016) catalogue.…

Using a new radio sample, 6C* designed to find radio galaxies at z > 4 along with the complete 3CRR and 6CE sample we extend the radio galaxy K-z relation to z~4.5. The 6C* K-z data significantly improve delineation of the K-z relation for…

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 have measured the angular correlation function of radio sources in the 1.4 GHz NVSS and FIRST surveys. Below ~6 arcminutes w(theta) is dominated by the size distribution of radio galaxies. A model of the size distribution of radio…
