Infrared-faint radio sources redshifts

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Infrared-faint radio sources (IFRSs) are an important class of high-redshift active galaxy, and potentially important as a means of discovering more high-redshift radio sources, but only 25 IFRSs had redshifts prior to this paper.

Description

Here we increase the number of IFRSs with known spectroscopic redshifts, by a factor of about 5, to 131, with redshifts up to z=4.387, and a median redshift of z=2.68. The IFRS redshift distribution overlaps with the high-z radio galaxy (HzRG) redshift distribution but is significantly narrower, suggesting that the IFRSs are a subset of the larger class of HzRGs.

We also confirm and measure the proposed correlation between redshift and 3.6{mu}m flux density, making it possible to use this correlation to find even higher redshift radio sources. Many more high-redshift sources are probably present in existing radio survey catalogues.
