Abstract

Powerful radio sources mark the locations of massive galaxies. The K-band ‘Hubble’ diagram shows that radio hosts form the bright envelope of near-infrared sources at every observed redshift [1]. Within the context of biased galaxy formation, massive galaxies mark the peaks in the overall density distribution [2,3]. We have exploited this correspondence to identify galaxy overdensities in the high-redshift Universe.
