dc.description.abstractIn this study we define a new sample of distant powerful radio galaxies in order to study their host galaxy properties and provide targets for future observations of H I absorption with new radio telescopes and to understand the fuelling and feedback from such sources. We have cross-matched the Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS) radio catalogue at 843 MHz with the VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS) near-infrared catalogue using the likelihood ratio technique. Photometric redshifts from the Dark Energy Survey are then used to assign redshifts to the radio source counterparts. We found a total of 249 radio sources with photometric redshifts over a 148 deg2 region. By fitting the optical and near-infrared photometry with spectral synthesis models we determine the stellar mass and star formation rates of the radio sources, finding typical stellar masses of 1011–1012 M⊙ for the powerful high-redshift radio galaxies.en_US
