Redshift Surveys and Large--Scale Structure

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I review the present status of the mapping of the large-scale structure of the Universe through wide-angle redshift surveys. In the first part of the paper, I discuss the current state of the art, describing in some detail the recently completed ESO Slice Project (ESP). I then briefly recall some of the basic motivations for performing larger surveys. Then, in the final section, I present in detail three large redshift survey projects that in the years from now to the end of the Century are expected to satisfy this demand.
