The stellar content of the Hamburg/ESO survey. V. The metallicity distribution function of the Galactic halo

T. Schoerck, N. Christlieb, J. G. Cohen +22

We determine the metallicity distribution function (MDF) of the Galactic halo by means of a sample of 1638 metal-poor stars selected from the Hamburg/ESO objective-prism survey (HE…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Samples, Observational Techniques and the First Data Release

D. Heath Jones, Will Saunders, Matthew Colless +20

The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) aims to measure the redshifts of around 150,000 galaxies, and the peculiar velocities of a 15,000-member sub-sample, over almost the entire southern s…
