On estimating redshift and luminosity distributions in photometric redshift surveys [PDF]
The luminosity functions of galaxies and quasars provide invaluable information about galaxy and quasar formation. Estimating the luminosity function from magnitude limited samples is relatively straightforward, provided that the distances to the objects

The Radio-to-Submillimeter Flux Density Ratio of Galaxies as a Measure of Redshift [PDF]
We re-examine the technique of determining the redshifts of galaxies from the ratio of the submillimeter-to-radio continuum flux densities based on a recently published catalog of 850~$\mu$m sources.

Redshifting rings of power [PDF]
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) has provided a precise template for features in the linear power spectrum: the matter-radiation turnover, sound horizon drop, and acoustic oscillations. In a two dimensional power spectrum in redshift and angular space, the features appear as distorted rings, and yield simultaneous, purely geometric, measures of ...

Automated reliability assessment for spectroscopic redshift measurements [PDF]
We present a new approach to automate the spectroscopic redshift reliability assessment based on machine learning (ML) and characteristics of the redshift probability density function (PDF).

Redshift and Photon Energy Attenuation Constant in Vacuum
There obtained an estimate of the minimum value of the photon energy attenuation constant in vacuum α: α = 8 · 10–19 m–1 based on quantum concepts of the structure of vacuum and data on the red shift of the emitter spectra of distant galaxies. Presumably,

The Origin of Low-redshift Event Rate Excess as Revealed by the Low-luminosity Gamma-Ray Bursts
The relation between the event rate of long gamma-ray bursts and the star formation rate is still controversial, especially at the low-redshift end. Dong et al.

Redshift Surveys With 2DF [PDF]
This IAU Joint Discussion proposes to address the subject of redshift surveys in the 21st century. This paper, however, deals with two major new redshift surveys that those involved sincerely hope will be completed in the 20th century. Nonetheless, these surveys are relevant to the topic of the meeting, as they clearly foreshadow the scope and style of

Redshift Survey of 12 Moderate-redshift Clusters
Abstract We conducted a redshift survey of 12 X-ray selected clusters in the redshift range z = 0.35–0.50 with MMT/Hectospec. The redshift surveys confirm that these clusters are massive systems. There are no massive groups or clusters projected along the line of sight that might contaminate the observed cluster X-ray properties ...

The redshift distribution of all 46,400 quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog III, Third Data Release, is examined. Six Peaks that fall within the redshift window below z = 4, are visible.
