At the faint end of the deepest X-ray surveys, a population of X-ray luminous galaxies is seen. In this paper, we present the results of a cross-correlation between the residual, unresolved X-ray photons in a very deep X-ray survey and the…
A significant cross-correlation between the unresolved X-ray background (XRB) at soft energies (0.5 to 2 keV) and foreground bright galaxies has now been reported in several studies. This cross-correlation has been interpreted in terms of a…
OBSERVATIONS of galaxies to very faint magnitudes have revealed a population of blue galaxies at intermediate redshift$^{1-5}$. These galaxies represent a significant excess over the expectation of standard cosmological models for…
The physical properties of the faint blue galaxy population are reviewed in the context of observational progress made via deep spectroscopic surveys and Hubble Space Telescope imaging of field galaxies at various limits, and theoretical…
Both theoretical and observational lines of reasoning suggest that the very faint (B > 24) galaxies seen in deep images of the sky are small low-mass galaxies that experienced starburst at 0.5<z<1 and have since faded into low luminosity,…
The two-point angular correlation function of galaxies, \wte, has been computed from a new survey of faint galaxies covering a 2 deg$^2$ area near the North Galactic Pole. This survey, which is complete to limiting magnitudes \jmag=24 and…
We present a cross-correlation analysis to constrain the faint galaxy contribution to the cosmic X-ray background (XRB). Cross-correlating faint optical galaxy catalogues with unidentified X-ray sources from 3 deep ROSAT fields we find that…
Angular and spatial correlations are measured for K-band--selected galaxies, 248 having redshifts, 54 with z>1, in two patches of combined area 27 arcmin^2. The angular correlation for K<=21.5 mag is (theta/1.4+/-0.19 arcsec…
A photometric survey of faint galaxies in three high Galactic latitude fields (each $\sim49~\rm{arcmin^{2}}$) with sub-arcsecond seeing is used to study the clustering properties of the faint galaxy population. Multi-color photometry of the…
We present initial results from a wide-field, multi-colour imaging project, designed to study galaxy evolution in X-ray selected clusters at intermediate (z~0.25) and high redshifts (z~0.5). In this paper we give blue galaxy fractions from…
Cosmological constraints from galaxy clusters rely on accurate measurements of the mass and internal structure of clusters. An important source of systematic uncertainty in cluster mass and structure measurements is the secure selection of…
This study presents highly precise measurements of the cross-correlation between volume-limited galaxy samples from the DESI legacy survey catalogue and X-ray selected galaxy clusters from eROSITA, allowing for detailed analysis across…
The intensity of the soft X-Ray background is correlated with the distribution of galaxies. To demonstrate this, magnitude limited galaxy samples extracted from bright galaxy catalogues and the Lick counts are utilized. Significant…
We summarise our recent work on the faint galaxy contribution to the cosmic X-ray background (XRB). At bright X-ray fluxes (in the ROSAT pass band), broad line QSOs dominate the X-ray source population, but at fainter fluxes there is…
The number of close pairs of galaxies observed to faint magnitude limits, when compared to nearby samples, determines the interaction or merger rate as a function of redshift. The prevalence of mergers at intermediate redshifts is…
{}From deep optical images of three clusters selected by virtue of their X-ray luminosity and/or optical richness (1455+22; $z=0.26$, 0016+16; $z=0.55$ and 1603+43; $z=0.89$), we construct statistically-complete samples of faint field…
We have studied galaxy two-point angular correlations as a function of color using 4-m plate photometry in two independent fields. Each field consists of over 2900 galaxies with magnitudes 20<B_J <23.5 in an area of approximately 750…
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…
At B magnitudes >~ 24 there is a well-known excess of galaxies (compared to standard models) which is probably due to an (evolving) population of sub-L* galaxies at moderate redshifts (<~ 0.4). One particular hypothesis which is hard to…
We analyze samples of nearby clusters taken from the Abell catalog and the X-ray Sample of Bright Clusters(De Grandi et al 1999) including a wide range of X-ray luminosities.Using the usually adopted background subtraction procedures, we…
