The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Final Redshift Release (DR3) and Southern Large-Scale Structures

D. Heath Jones, Mike A. Read, Will Saunders +30

We report the final redshift release of the 6dF Galaxy Survey, a combined redshift and peculiar velocity survey over the southern sky (|b|>10 deg). Its 136,304 spectra have yielded…

The Aspen--Amsterdam Void Finder Comparison Project

Joerg M. Colberg, Frazer Pearce, Caroline Foster +16

Despite a history that dates back at least a quarter of a century studies of voids in the large--scale structure of the Universe are bedevilled by a major problem: there exist a la…

The Norma Cluster (ACO 3627): I. A Dynamical Analysis of the Most Massive Cluster in the Great Attractor

P. A. Woudt, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg, J. Lucey +2

A detailed dynamical analysis of the nearby rich Norma cluster (ACO 3627) is presented. From radial velocities of 296 cluster members, we find a mean velocity of 4871 +/- 54 km/s a…

Percolation Properties of Nearby Large-Scale Structures: Every Galaxy has a Neighbour

Anthony Fairall, D. Turner, M. L. Pretorius +4

The distribution of nearby (cz < 7500 km/s) galaxies has been explored by minimal spanning trees; allowance has been made for the drastic decrease of data with distance. The invest…

Peculiar velocities in the Zone of Avoidance: Determining the Distance to the Norma cluster

P. A. Woudt, A. P. Fairall, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg +4

Deep J, H and Ks photometry of the low Galactic latitude Norma cluster has been obtained with the 1.4-m Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) and with SOFI on the NTT. Together with spec…
