The Quasar Fraction in Low-Frequency Selected Complete Samples and Implications for Unified Schemes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the 7C Redshift Survey along with the brighter 3CRR and 6C samples to investigate the fraction of objects with observed broad emission lines -the "quasar fraction" - as a function of redshift and of radio and narrow emission line luminosity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A population of high-redshift type-2 quasars-I. Selection Criteria and Optical Spectra

TL;DR: In this article, the relative merits of mid-infrared and X-ray selection of type 2 quasars were discussed, and the authors compared the narrow emission-line luminosity, radio luminosity and maximum size of jets to those of objects from radio-selected samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finding ultracool brown dwarfs with MegaCam on CFHT: method and first results

TL;DR: The first results of a wide field survey for cool brown dwarfs with the MegaCam camera on the CFHT telescope, the Canada-France Brown Dwarf Survey, hereafter CFBDS, are presented in this paper, where they identify candidates in CFHT/MegaCam iand zimages using optimised psf-fitting within Source Extractor, and follow them up with pointed near-infrared imaging on several telescopes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications for unified schemes from the quasar fraction and emission-line luminosities in radio-selected samples

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized luminosity function (GLF) based on a, β, redshift and schemes for unifying radio quasars and radio galaxies was proposed, which can be used to generate radio luminosity functions (RLFs).
