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 110,256 new extragalactic redshifts and a new catalogue of…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) of 230,000 redshifts of nearby (z~0.1) galaxies is now complete. It has allowed the 2dFGRS team and others to estimate fundamental cosmological parameters and to study galaxy intrinsic properties.…
Since the late 1970's, redshift surveys have been vital for progress in understanding large-scale structure in the Universe. The original CfA redshift survey collected spectra of 20-30 galaxies per clear night on a 1.5 meter telescope; over…
We study the topology of the publicly available data released by the 2dFGRS. The 2dFGRS data contains over 100,000 galaxy redshifts with a magnitude limit of b_J=19.45 and is the largest such survey to date. The data lie over a wide range…
We discuss the rationale and the present status of a large redshift survey aiming at measuring distances for all the clusters of galaxies detected by the ROSAT X--ray All--Sky Survey in the southern hemisphere, with flux larger than $\sim…
I review progress in the past few years in studying the large-scale structure of the universe through redshift surveys of galaxies. Of the many statistical methods used to describe the galaxy distribution, I concentrate here on the power…
We have conducted a galaxy survey based on low-resolution slitless spectra taken from the automated CFHT-Laval survey. We present redshift distributions for 522 galaxies distributed in 4 distinct regions of the sky. Redshifts are determined…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) has already measured over 200,000 redshifts of nearby (median redshift z~0.1) galaxies. This is the single largest set of galaxy spectra ever collected. It allows us to subdivide the survey into…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey is the first to observe more than 100,000 redshifts. This allows precise measurements of many of the key statistics of galaxy clustering, in particular redshift-space distortions and the large-scale power…
Luminosity functions and their integrated luminosity densities are presented for the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). This ongoing survey ultimately aims to measure around 150,000 redshifts and 15,000 peculiar velocities over almost the entire…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey is the first to observe more than 100,000 redshifts, making possible precise measurements of many aspects of galaxy clustering. The spatial distribution of galaxies can be studied as a function of galaxy…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is making a multi-colour, three dimensional map of the nearby Universe. The survey is in two parts. The first part is imaging one quarter of the sky in five colours from the near ultraviolet to the near…
Weak lensing surveys are emerging as an important tool for the construction of "mass selected" clusters of galaxies. We evaluate both the efficiency and completeness of a weak lensing selection by combining a dense, complete redshift…
The correlation between a galaxy's morphology and its observed optical spectrum is investigated. As an example, 4000 galaxies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, which possess both good quality spectra and have visually determined…
We use redshift determinations and spectral analysis of galaxies in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey to study the properties of local radio sources with $S\ge 1$ mJy. 557 objects drawn from the FIRST survey, corresponding to 2.3 per cent of…
The Southern Abell Redshift Survey contains 39 clusters of galaxies with redshifts in the range 0.0 < z < 0.31 and a median redshift depth of z = 0.0845. SARS covers the region 0 < decl < -65 deg, R.A. < 5h, R.A. > 21h (while avoiding the…
The DENIS survey is currently imaging the entire southern sky in the I, J, and K wavebands. The current star/galaxy separation algorithm is presented and the galaxy counts are nearly perfectly Euclidean. 95% complete and reliable galaxy…
Our view of the low-redshift Cosmic Web has been revolutionized by galaxy redshift surveys such as 6dFGS, SDSS and 2MRS. However, the trade-off between depth and angular coverage limits a systematic three-dimensional account of the entire…
A comparison of the galaxy pairwise velocity distribution functions determined from the three largest publicly available galaxy redshift surveys is presented. This is the first direct comparison of this function across these surveys using…
We present the galaxy optical luminosity function for the redshift range 0.05<z<0.75 from the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey (AGES), a spectroscopic survey of 7.6 sq. deg. in the Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey. Our…
