Abstract: This article presents a survey of publication and citation 
statistics for 835 UK professional astronomers: the majority of academics 
and contract researchers within the UK astronomical community. I provide 
histograms of these bibliometrics for the whole sample as well as of the 
median values for the individual departments. I discuss the distribution 
of top bibliometric performers in the sample, and make some remarks on the 
use of bibliometrics in a real-world assessment exercise.
