The 6dF Galaxy Survey
Ken-ichi Wakamatsu, Matthew Colless, Tom Jarrett +3
The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) is a spectroscopic survey of the entire southern sky with , based on the 2MASS near infrared galaxy catalog. It is conducted with the 6dF mul…
The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey I. Survey Strategy and Preliminary Results on the Redshift Distribution of a Complete Sample of Stars and Galaxies
M. J. Drinkwater, S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones +6
The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey will use the Two degree Field spectrograph (2dF) of the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain spectra for a complete sample of all 14000 objects with…
Found: High Surface Brightness Compact Galaxies
M. J. Drinkwater, S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones +5
We are using the 2dF spectrograph to make a survey of all objects (`stars' and `galaxies') in a 12 sq.deg region towards the Fornax cluster. We have discovered a population of comp…
A Complete 2dF Survey of Fornax
M. J. Drinkwater, E. M. Sadler, J. I. Davies +5
We are using the 2dF spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain spectra for a complete sample of all 14000 objects with 16.5<B<19.7 in a 12 square degree area centred…
Detection of Large Scale Structure in a Galaxy Redshift Survey
A. Ratcliffe, T. Shanks, A. Broadbent +5
We report on results from the Durham/UKST Galaxy Redshift Survey where we have found large scale ``cellular'' features in the galaxy distribution. These have spatial 2-point correl…
