We obtained around 3000 redshifts for galaxies selected from the IRAS Faint Source Catalogue . We have demonstrated that there is significant amount of evolution in this sample. We have also investigated the Large Scale Structure and compared the distribution of these objects with optically selected galaxies in the same area. The IRAS Point Source Catalogue Redshift Survey . An all-sky redshift survey of 15000 galaxies, now complete.
Scientific analysis is in progress.
A collaboration between myself, Pippa Goldschmidt, Bob Mann, Andy Taylor and Andy Lawrence. We have imaged 100 IRAS galaxies to test the hypothesis that star formation activity is triggered by merging or interactions between galaxies. Potted Biography Born in London 25th February 1968.
