The 6CE Redshift survey
The 6CE Redshift Survey contains every radio source with
a low-frequency (151 MHz) flux-density in the range
2.00 <= S151 < 3.93 Jy in a 0.102-sr patch of sky
with limits: 08 20 30 < RA (B1950) < 13 01 30, 34 < Dec (B1950) < 40.
Extensive optical and near-infrared follow-up have provided identifications for
58 of the 59 sources (the 59th source is behind a very bright star),
and spectroscopic redshifts for 56 sources (all bar six of which are
secure).
Work on identifying and measuring redshifts for these sources
was begun in the 1980s first by
Jeremy Allington-Smith, who worked on a similar sample
selected to be brighter than 1 Jy at 408 MHz,
and second by Steve Eales, who defined the first version of the
6CE sample using the (then new) 6C survey.
Reference material for this sample was published by
Rawlings et al. (2001). Since publication, Table 1
from that paper has been updated as a result of more recent
data.
HTML and ASCII versions of
the modified Table 1 are available here.
Changes to Rawlings et al (2001) Table 1
Definite, and slightly revised, redshift for 6C1045+3513 from
Willott et al. (2002) (MNRAS, 331, 435).
Confirmed redshift for 6C1217+3645
and slightly more accurate redshifts for
6C0943+3958, 6C1011+3632, 6C1017+3712, 6C1019+3924,
6C1129+3710, 6C1256+3648, 6C1257+3633
from the deeper spectroscopy of
Inskip et al. (2002) (MNRAS, to be submitted).
