100-Mpc-scale structures of radio galaxies

DOI

We present unequivocal evidence for a huge (~80x100x100Mp^3^) superstructure at redshift z=0.27 in the three-dimensional distribution of radio galaxies from the Texas-Oxford NVSS Structure 08h region (TONS08) sample, confirming tentative evidence for such a structure from the 7C redshift survey (7CRS). A second, newly discovered superstructure is also found less securely at redshift 0.35 (of dimensions ~100x100x100Mpc^3^). We present full observational details on the TONS08 sample which was constructed to probe structures in the redshift range 0<z<0.5 by matching NVSS sources with objects in APM catalogues to obtain a sample of optically bright (E~R=3mJy) radio galaxies in the same 25deg^2^ area as part II of the 7CRS.
