The AAO 2dF QSO Redshift Survey

ArXiv astro-ph/9710202 (1997)

Authors:

Boyle, RJ Smith, T Shanks, SM Croom, L Miller

Abstract:

We describe the aims, strategy and status of the AAO 2dF QSO redshift survey. This goal of the survey is to obtain redshifts for 30000 QSOs in a homogeneous magnitude limited (B<21) survey. The survey began in early 1997 and should be complete by the end of 1999.

A search for star formation around the Galactic halo B-type star PHL 346

Astronomy and Astrophysics 306:1 (1996) 119-124

Abstract:

A search is presented for stars that may have formed coevally with the apparently young halo star PHL 346. Candidates were selected for spectroscopy from UBR Schmidt Telescope plates in U.K. Schmidt Telescope survey field 603 scanned with the COSMOS facility at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh. Spectroscopic observations at ∼ 3.5 Å resolution were made of 72 field stars using the 1.9m telescope at the South African Astronomical Observatory; 16 A- and B-type stars were found, one of which had the appropriate spectral type and radial velocity to be associated with PHL 346. Further photometry and spectroscopy confirmed this identification. The remaining low gravity early-type stars have a mean LSR radial velocity of -75 km s-1, consistent with a non-rotating halo Population.
