Banhatti (2009) set down the procedure to derive cosmological number density n(z) from the differential distribution p(x) of the fractional luminosity volume relative to the maximum volume, x equiv V/Vm (0 leq x leq 1), using a small sample of 76 quasars for illustrative purposes. This procedure is here applied to a bigger sample of 286 quasars selected from Parkes half-Jansky flat-spectrum survey at 2.7 GHz (Drinkwater et al 1997). The values of n(z) are obtained for 8 values of redshift z from 0 to 3.5. The function n(z) can be interpreted in terms of redshift distribution obtained by integrating the radio luminosity function {rho}(P, z) over luminosities P for the survey limiting flux density S0 = 0.5 Jy. Keywords. V/Vm - luminosity-volume - cosmological number density - redshift distribution - luminosity function - quasars [Note: This somewhat modified version was submitted to MNRaS on 14 July 2016. It was (almost) rejected, except if thoroughly revised.]

We present partial results from our monitoring of the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy IC 694 (=Arp 299-A) at radio wavelengths, aimed at discovering recently exploded CCSNe, as well as to determine their rate of explosion, which carries crucia
l information on star formation rates and starburst scenarios at work. Two epochs of eEVN observations at 5.0 GHz, taken in 2008, revealed the presence of a rich cluster of compact radio emitting sources in the central 150 pc of the nuclear starburst in Arp 299A. The large brightness temperatures observed for the compact sources indicate a non-thermal origin for the observed radio emission, implying that most, if not all, of those sources were young radio supernovae (RSNe) and supernova remnants (SNRs). More recently, contemporaneous EVN observations at 1.7 and 5.0 GHz taken in 2009 have allowed us to shed light on the compact radio emission of the parsec-scale structure in the nucleus of Arp 299-A. Namely, our EVN observations have shown that one of the compact VLBI sources, A1, previously detected at 5.0 GHz, has a flat spectrum between 1.7 and 5.0 GHz and is the brightest source at both frequencies. The morphology, radio luminosity, spectral index and ratio of radio-to-X-ray emission of the A1-A5 region allowed us to identify A1-A5 with long-sought AGN in Arp 299-A. This finding may suggest that both starburst and AGN are frequently associated phenomena in mergers. Finally, we also note that component A0, identified as a young RSN, exploded at the mere distance of two parsecs from the putative AGN in Arp 299-A, which makes this supernova one of the closest to a central supermassive black hole ever detected.
Using distribution p(V/Vm) of V/Vm rather than just mean <V/Vm> in V/Vm-test leads directly to cosmological number density n(z). Calculation of n(z) from p(V/Vm) is illustrated using best sample (of 76 quasars) available in 1981, when method was deve
loped. This is only illustrative, sample being too small for any meaningful results. Keywords: V/Vm . luminosity volume . cosmological number density . V/Vm distribution
The classical cosmological V/Vm-test is introduced. Use of the differential distribution p(V/Vm) of the V/Vm-variable rather than just the mean <V/Vm> leads directly to the cosmological number density without any need for assumptions about the cosmol
ogical evolution of the underlying (quasar) population. Calculation of this number density n(z) from p(V/Vm) is illustrated using the best sample that was available in 1981, when this method was developed. This sample of 76 quasars is clearly too small for any meaningful results. The method will be later applied to a much larger cosmological sample to infer the cosmological number density n(z) as a function of the depth z.

From the VIMOS VLT DEEP Survey (VVDS) we select a sample of 16 galaxies with spectra which identify them as having recently undergone a strong starburst and subsequent fast quenching of star formation. These post-starburst galaxies lie in the redshif
t range 0.5<z<1.0 with masses >10^9.75Msun. They have a number density of 1x10^-4 per Mpc^3, almost two orders of magnitude sparser than the full galaxy population with the same mass limit. We compare with simulations to show that the galaxies are consistent with being the descendants of gas rich major mergers. Starburst mass fractions must be larger than ~5-10% and decay times shorter than ~10^8 years for post-starburst spectral signatures to be observed in the simulations. We find that the presence of black hole feedback does not greatly affect the evolution of the simulated merger remnants through the post-starburst phase. The multiwavelength spectral energy distributions of the post-starburst galaxies show that 5/16 have completely ceased the formation of new stars. These 5 galaxies correspond to a mass flux entering the red-sequence of rhodot(A->Q, PSB) = 0.0038Msun/Mpc^3/yr, assuming the defining spectroscopic features are detectable for 0.35Gyr. If the galaxies subsequently remain on the red sequence, this accounts for 38(+4/-11)% of the growth rate of the red sequence. Finally, we compare our high redshift results with a sample of galaxies with 0.05<z<0.1 observed in the SDSS and UKIDSS surveys. We find a very strong redshift evolution: the mass density of strong post-starburst galaxies is 230 times lower at z~0.07 than at z~0.7.
