Counting quasar–radio source pairs to derive the millijansky radio luminosity function and clustering strength to z = 3.5

We apply a cross-correlation technique to infer the S > 3 mJy radio luminosity function (RLF) from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) to z ∼ 3.5. We measure Σ the over density of radio sources around spectroscopically confirmed quasars. Σ is related to the space density of radio sources at the di...
