The 2Jy sample 
of southern radio galaxies

This site presents the objects and data from over 20 years of collaborative work on the 2 Jansky sample of southern radio galaxies with flux density above 2 Jansky at 2.7GHz and delta<+10 degrees.

Two decades of observations has led to a wealth of data for these objects including: Deep optical imaging and spectra from Gemini and the WHT as well as extensive radio imaging/mapping from ATCA and the VLA. For 47 objects with 0.05<z<0.7 the sample is also complete at mid to far-infrared wavelengths for imaging and spectra with Spitzer, high frequency radio core imaging with ATCA and the VLA. Additionally a large proportion of objects have recently being observed with Chandra and 36 objects have deep 2.2 micron near infrared imaging.

Included in this site is a description of the sample, tables of basic parameters and data for all the objects, individual object pages where you can download available reduced data and see some of the available images and spectra. Additionally there are also links to all the major publications related to the sample. We hope this site will be a useful resource for you, but don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
