"The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey
- XII. The catalogue and luminosity function"
Anyone utilizing data from the 2QZ database should include the following acknowledgement:
"The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) was compiled by the 2QZ survey team from observations made with the 2-degree Field on the Anglo-Australian Telescope."
The 2QZ team consists of the following members:
Brian Boyle
(ATNF - Australian PI)
Scott Croom
(U. Sydney)
Nicola Loaring
(Oxford/MSSL)
Lance Miller
(Oxford)
Phil Outram
(Durham)
Tom Shanks
(Durham - UK PI)
Robert Smith
(Liverpool John Moores)
The 2QZ database and related data products (including
the CD-ROM) were produced by:
Robert Smith
(Liverpool John Moores) and Scott Croom
(AAO).
We warmly thank all the present and former staff of the Anglo-Australian Observatory for their work in building and operating the 2dF and 6dF facilities. We are also indebted to Mike Irwin and the staff at the APM facility for scanning the UKST photographic plates that are the basis for the 2QZ and 6QZ surveys.
All data remains the copyright of the Anglo-Australian Telescope Board.
The images of these surveys are based on photographic data obtained using the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on Palomar Mountain and the UK Schmidt Telescope.
The UK Schmidt Telescope was operated by the Royal Observatory Edinburgh,
with funding from the UK Science and Engineering Research Council (later
the UK Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council), until 1988 June,
and thereafter by the Anglo-Australian Observatory. The blue plates of
the southern Sky Atlas and its Equatorial Extension (together known as the SERC-J),
as well as the Equatorial Red (ER), and the Second Epoch [red] Survey (SES)
were all taken with the UK Schmidt.
The Digitized Sky Survey was produced at the Space Telescope Science Institute under U.S. Government grant NAG W-2166. The images of these surveys are based on photographic data obtained using the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on Palomar Mountain and the UK Schmidt Telescope. The plates were processed into the present compressed digital form with the permission of these institutions.
