17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 4 Wide-field images of the radio sky ‘Radio Schmidt’ telescope: 2.7 o field of view, excellent surface-brightness sensitivity

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 5 Images of the optical & radio sky Optical Blue light: Mostly nearby galaxies (median z~0.1) Radio 843 MHz: Mostly very distant radio galaxies (median z~1)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 6 SUMSS source populations Jackson & Wall, 1999 Predicted radio-source population at 843MHz: Dominant population is radio galaxies (median z~1) 10% QSOs above ~100 mJy Increasing contribution from local starburst galaxies below ~10 mJy

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 7 Radio galaxies & black holes Radio synchrotron emission from collimated radio jets powered by an accretion disk around a supermassive black hole (Blandford & Rees 1978).

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 8 A brief history of the universe… SUMSS

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 9 Why the whole sky?  Radio telescopes are highly efficient machines for probing the distant universe and measuring the cosmic evolution of galaxies and their central black holes.  Developing a proper physical understanding of galaxy formation and evolution requires data sets much larger than those available in the past. “The astronomy of the 21st century will be dominated by computer-based manipulation of huge homogeneous surveys of various types of astronomical objects.’’ Van den Bergh (2000), PASP 112, 4.

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 10 Processing SUMSS data Individual 2.7 o diameter fields processed automatically in a data pipeline, then combined to produce final 4 o x 4 o mosaics with uniform sensitivity. Mosaics are catalogued using ‘decision-tree’ artificial intelligence methods to remove telescope artefacts.

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 11 Automated recognition and removal of telescope artefacts Mauch, Murphy, Curran et al. (2003)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 12 Uniformity of the SUMSS catalogue

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 13 SUMSS and NVSS NVSS (1400 MHz) and SUMSS (843 MHz) surveys have similar sensitivity and resolution. Overlap at declination -30 o to -40 o NRAO Very Large Array (VLA), New Mexico, USA

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 14 SUMSS science goals What does SUMSS do (particularly) well?  Identify and study objects which are common: Cross-match with optical redshift surveys to study global properties of AGN and star-forming galaxies at z~0, local benchmark for studies of cosmic evolution (Mauch, this meeting)  Identify and study objects which are rare: e.g. High-redshift radio galaxies (Klamer, this meeting)  Identify low surface-brightness radio sources: Complete samples of giant radio galaxies, relic sources, extended sources in the Galactic Plane  Identify and monitor transient sources: (Ball, this meeting)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 15 SUMSS and optical redshift surveys Overlap with 2dF/6dF gives spectra of 10,000 + radio AGN and starburst galaxies. Local radio luminosity functions and timescales; local benchmark for high-z studies. 6dFGS spectra

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 16 NVSS/SUMSS radio sources in the 6dF Galaxy Survey ‘Main survey’ science: Accurate radio luminosity functions for AGN, starbursts Clustering study via the 2-point Correlation function Accurate z=0 benchmarks for studies of cosmic evolution ‘Extra targets’ science: Compact objects and some galaxies with blue colours (QSOs, starburst galaxies…) A census of local radio sources:

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 17 All-sky radio continuum surveys NVSS = 1.4 GHz dec +90 o to -40 o SUMSS = 843 MHz dec -30 o to -90 o Both surveys have 45 ” beam, 3-6 mJy det. limit, position accuracy 1-2 ” = 0.8 Only 1-2% of extragalactic radio sources in local universe (z < 0.1)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 18 The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS)  Primary Survey K-selected from 2MASS-XSC (2 Micron All Sky Survey eXtended Source Catalog) K < All southern sky except |b| < 10deg 113,000 objects over 15,000deg 2  Selection from CCD photometry Accurate K-band magnitudes! Measures old stellar population Dust extinction less problematic in K-band than at shorter wavelengths  1500 fields means 75 targets per field  Spare fibres for “additional targets”

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 19 Radio Source Detection  Primary Sample (K<12.75): Preliminary list of all NVSS/SUMSS radio sources within 30” of 2MASS-XSC (~18%). Confirmed identifications by eye 4506 out of ~29000 observed objects in first data release accepted as genuine (~16% detection rate)  Additional Targets: NVSS/SUMSS Radio sources within 10” of ‘extended’ objects and 5” of ‘stellar’ objects with B<18 in the SuperCOSMOS database 6997 NVSS (dec.>-40 o ) and 2614 SUMSS (dec.<-50 o ) additional targets 1191 NVSS (17%) and 6 SUMSS (0.2%) observed serendipitously in first data release

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 20 Radio Sources in the Primary 2MASS-XSC Sample  4506 NVSS radio sources in 6dF-DR1 16% Detection rate  109 SUMSS 7.6% Detection rate  Spectral classification for NVSS: 1268 Aa 162 Ae 187 Aae 2644 SF 8 Star 235 Unclassifiable (Low S/N spectra) 40% AGN, 60% SF (2dFGRS: 60% AGN, 40% SF) Largest local (z<0.1) sample of radio source redshifts ever obtained!

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 21 Local radio luminosity functions 1569 AGNs -Dominate radio source population above P 1.4 =10 23 W/Hz - AGN radio luminosity function has power-law form for 4 decades of radio power. - Unaffected by cosmic evolution ( =0.51±0.01) 2507 Star-forming galaxies - Dominate radio source population below P 1.4 =10 23 W/Hz - All lie on radio-FIR correlation (Mauch 2005)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 22 Local star-formation density Zero point of Madau diagram P 1.4 measures star- formation rate (Sullivan et al. 2001). Star-formation rate derived from P 1.4 is free from dust extinction. Local SF density agrees with optical and IR values. Local SF density=(0.021±0.001) M sun yr -1 Mpc -3 (Mauch 2005)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 23 Fractional radio luminosity function AGNs Many galaxies contribute to AGN luminosity function so can separate into M K bins to compute fractional LF. Use preliminary 6dFGS K-band luminosity function (Jones et al. in prep.) Gives probability that a galaxy of a given near-infrared magnitude is a radio source above a given radio power. Fraction of galaxies hosting AGN increases with M K corresponding to an increase with black hole mass via M BH -M bulge relation. (Mauch 2005)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 24 Angular clustering of radio sources (Blake et al. 2004)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 25 Real-space 2 point correlation function [Mauch & Rawlings] All SF AGN r o =7.9±0.6 Mpc 0 Mpc<s<40 Mpc r o =7.9±0.7 Mpc 0 Mpc<s<40 Mpc r o =12.6±0.9 Mpc 0 Mpc<s<40 Mpc Magliocchetti et al.(2004): r o =10.9±1.0 Mpc (AGN), r o =7.9±0.6 Mpc (ALL) Norberg et al. (2002) (2dFGRS Galaxies): bright early types: r o =13.85±1.7 Mpc faint late-type: r o =5.2±1.1 Mpc bright late-type: r o =9.0±1.4 Mpc Radio sources cluster in a similar fashion to the optical host galaxy population.

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 26 SUMSS science goals What does SUMSS do (particularly) well?  Identify and study objects which are common: Cross-match with optical redshift surveys to study global properties of AGN and star-forming galaxies at z~0, local benchmark for studies of cosmic evolution (Mauch, this meeting)  Identify and study objects which are rare: e.g. High-redshift radio galaxies (Klamer, this meeting)  Identify low surface-brightness radio sources: Complete samples of giant radio galaxies, relic sources, extended sources in the Galactic Plane  Identify and monitor transient sources: (Ball, this meeting)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 28 SUMSS science goals What does SUMSS do (particularly) well?  Identify and study objects which are common: Cross-match with optical redshift surveys to study global properties of AGN and star-forming galaxies at z~0, local benchmark for studies of cosmic evolution (Mauch, this meeting)  Identify and study objects which are rare: e.g. High-redshift radio galaxies (Klamer, this meeting)  Identify low surface-brightness radio sources: Complete samples of giant radio galaxies, relic sources, extended sources in the Galactic Plane  Identify and monitor transient sources: (Ball, this meeting)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 29 Effective u-v weighting of the MOST synthesized beam Excellent uv coverage allows detection and imaging of extended, low-surface brightness radio emission

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 30 A complete sample of Mpc-sized double radio galaxies from SUMSS Saripalli et al. 2005, AJ 130, 896 SGRS J : Largest-known SUMSS radio galaxy, z=0.146, projected linear size = 2.67 Mpc Giant radio galaxies (sizes > 0.7 Mpc) are believed to represent the final stages of radio galaxy evolution. SUMSS complete sample south of dec -50 o, volume density is roughly one per (215 Mpc) 3

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 31 Giant radio galaxies: J Subrahmanyan et al. 2005, ApJ in press Projected linear size = 1.0 Mpc Lowest-known surface brightness for a double radio galaxy Host galaxy interacting with fainter companion; perturbations in jet axis produce the ‘fat’ radio lobes

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 32 X-ray transient XTE Hannikainen et al The fixed format of the Molonglo telescope makes it ideal for finding and monitoring transient and variable radio sources. Radio emission from a Galactic soft X-ray transient source

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 33 SUMSS data release policy Imaging survey of the entire southern sky now >95% complete. FITS images and catalogue are released on the web, and incorporated into international databases (NASA Skyview, NED)

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 34 What next? SUMSS now >95% complete, will be finished by early The data products (images and catalogue) are available online, have already been used in a wide range of analyses (Galactic plane, nearby galaxies, distant galaxies, large-scale structure), and will continue to be used in the future. From 2006 the Molonglo telescope will undergo a further upgrade as a technology prototype for the Square Kilometre Array (SKAMP), allowing it to survey polarized sources and measure the redshifted 21cm line of neutral hydrogen in distant galaxies.

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 35

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 36 Energy output from a black hole Energy output is set by the accretion rate onto the black hole. The Eddington limit is the maximum rate at which gas can be accreted. Above this, the luminosity is so high that radiation pressure prevents further inflow. Eddington limit is higher for more massive black holes.

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 37 The AT 20GHz survey First all-sky radio survey at mm wavelengths Catalogue foreground discrete-source population for future CMB missions (variability, polarization particularly important). Set up new calibration network for ATCA, ALMA at GHz

17 Nov 2005 E.M. Sadler 38 SUMSS and the AT20GHz survey AT20G detects only a small subset of low-frequency ( NVSS/ SUMSS ) radio sources, but almost all AT20G sources are in the SUMSS and/or NVSS catalogues - Most optical IDs are stellar (QSO candidates), many are 6dFGS ‘additional targets’ SUMSS AT20G
