Additional information
Shanks was UK PI of the 2SLAQ QSO proposals that won ~100 nights of AAT time. Indeed the idea for 2SLAQ as a joint LRG and QSO survey originated from discussions between RC Nichol and Shanks. Selection incompleteness fractions with magnitude are a vital issue for the 2SLAQ LF and GT Richards and Shanks led here, supporting the LF analyses led by SM Croom. The results showed evidence for deviations from Pure Luminosity Evolution for QSOs and Shanks was heavily involved in verifying the validity of this result.
