This site presents the objects and data from over 20 years of collaborative work on the 2 Jansky sample of southern radio galaxies defined as flux densities above 2 Jansky at 2.7GHz, delta<+10 degrees and z<0.7.
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; extensive radio imaging/mapping from ATCA and the VLA. The important, steep spectrum, subsample of 47 objects with 0.05<z<0.7 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. This sample is also 95% complete for Chandra/XMM X-ray imaging and a program of sub-mm observations with APEX-LABOCA is also currently underway for the sample. Lastly a sub-sample of z<0.5 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 view imaging and spectra. Additionally there are 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.
