The TOOT Survey: Typical Radio Sources at High Redshift

Abstract

The TexOx 1000 (TOOT) radio source redshift survey [1] is designed to find and study typical radio-loud active galaxies to high redshift. They are typical in the same sense that L^* galaxies are typical of galaxies in the optical. Previous surveys have only included the most luminous, rare objects at and beyond the peak of activity at z ~ 2, but in going a factor of 100 fainter than the 3C survey, and in assembling a large sample, TOOT probes for the first time the objects that dominate the radio luminosity density of the universe at high redshift.
