The FIRST SURVEY is Gone (from the schedule), but Not Forgotten


After ten years, it is finally over. With over 800,000 distinct, catalogued sources, the FIRST survey stands as one of the premier archival records of the radio sky. The FIRST collaboration is now switching gears from surveying to mining. I will present some recent results on quasars based on combining the FIRST survey with data from other benchmark surveys such as 2MASS and SDSS. In particular, I will report on investigations into red quasars, FR2 quasars, and submJy radio quasars.
