The Southern Galactic Disk Survey (GDS) monitored a mosaic of 268 fields along a $6^\circ$-wide stripe in the southern Galactic disk with simultaneous observations in $r'$ and $i'$ ($7^\mathrm{m} \lesssim r', i' \lesssim 18^\mathrm{m}$)…

As first data release of a pilot extragalactic HI survey with Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST),we extracted 544 extragalaxies from three-dimensional(3D) spectral data to perform interactive searching and…

We present a power spectrum analysis of the final 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, employing a direct Fourier method. The sample used comprises 221,414 galaxies with measured redshifts. We investigate in detail the modelling of the sample…

Various aspects of cosmology require comprehensive all-sky mapping of the cosmic web to considerable depths. In order to probe the whole extragalactic sky beyond 100 Mpc, one must draw on multiwavelength datasets and state-of-the-art…

We present a detailed analysis of the two-point correlation function, from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). We estimate the redshift-space correlation function, xi(s), from which we measure the redshift-space clustering length,…

Observations of distant galaxies are important both for understanding how galaxies form and for probing the physical conditions of the universe at the earliest epochs. It is, however, extremely difficult to identify galaxies at redshift…

High-redshift, luminous, dusty star forming galaxies (DSFGs) constrain the extremity of galaxy formation theories. The most extreme are discovered through follow-up on candidates in large area surveys. Here we present 850 $\mu$m SCUBA-2…

In order to retrieve cosmological parameters from photometric surveys, we need to estimate the distribution of the photometric redshift in the sky with excellent accuracy. We use and apply three different machine learning methods to…
