Redshift surveys are one of the prime tools of observational cosmology. Imaging surveys of the whole sky are now available at a wide range of wavelengths, and provide a basis for the new generation of massive redshift surveys currently in…

The technique of estimating redshifts using photometric rather than spectroscopic observations has recently received great attention due to its simplicity and the accuracy of the results obtained. In this work, we estimate photometric…

Future baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) surveys will survey very large volumes, covering wide ranges in redshift. We derive a set of redshift weights to compress the information in the redshift direction to a small number of modes. We…

We present clustering results from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) which currently contains over 20,000 QSOs at z<3. The two-point correlation function of QSOs averaged over the entire survey (<z>~1.5) is found to be similar to that of…

We report a measurement of the quadrupole power spectrum in the two degree field (2dF) QSO redshift (2QZ) survey. The analysis uses an algorithm parallel to that for the estimation of the standard monopole power spectrum without first…

Three galaxy redshifts surveys and their analyses are discussed. (i) The recently completed Optical Redshift Survey (ORS) includes galaxies larger than 1.9 arcmin and/or brighter than $14.5^m$. It provides redshifts for $\sim 8300 $…

The AERQS is a project aimed at the construction of an all-sky statistically well-defined sample of local (z < 0.3) and bright (R < 15.5) QSOs. Present uncertainties on the theoretical modeling of the QSO evolution are to be ascribed to the…

A second generation spectrograph for the Keck telescope is under construction at the Lick Observatory shops and will be delivered to Hawaii in 1999. Starting in the Fall of 1999, we shall begin the second phase of the DEEP project: a dense…

Two main strategies have been implemented in mapping the local universe: whole-sky 'shallow' surveys and 'deep' surveys over limited parts of the sky. The two approaches complement each other in studying cosmography and statistical…

We present the 2-degree Field Lensing Survey (2dFLenS), a new galaxy redshift survey performed at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. 2dFLenS is the first wide-area spectroscopic survey specifically targeting the area mapped by deep-imaging…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) is a spectroscopic survey of the entire southern sky with $|b|>10\deg$, based on the 2MASS near infrared galaxy catalog. It is conducted with the 6dF multi-fiber spectrograph attached to the 1.2-m UK Schmidt…

We test the periodicity of quasar redshifts in the 2dF and SDSS surveys. In the overall surveys redshift peaks are already apparent in the brighter quasars. But by analyzing sample areas in detail it is shown that the redshifts fit very…

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…

We present the final catalogue of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ), based on Anglo-Australian Telescope 2dF spectroscopic observations of 44576 colour-selected (u b_J r) objects with 18.25<b_J<20.85 selected from APM scans of UK Schmidt…

We have undertaken a pilot survey for faint QSOs in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey Field using the KX selection technique. These observations exploit the very deep near-infrared and optical imaging of this field from UKIRT and Subaru to…

The Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology (CNOC2) Field Galaxy Redshift Survey is a spectroscopic/photometric survey of faint galaxies over 1.5 square degrees of sky with a nominal spectroscopic limit of R_c=21.5 mag. The primary…

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…

We aim to illustrate the potentiality of the Advanced Large, Homogeneous Area, Medium-Band Redshift Astronomical (ALHAMBRA) survey to investigate the high redshift universe through the detection of quasi stellar objects (QSOs) at redshifts…

We present an update of our compilation of measured redshifts of galaxy clusters in the all-sky Abell catalog. In the last 7 years the number of ACO clusters with measured z has doubled to now ~2100, but still ~56% of these are based on…

A preliminary analysis of fields around 20 mainly radio-quiet QSOs (RQQs) at intermediate redshift is summarized. We find overdensities of faint sources around 50% of our observed QSOs suggesting that they are located in groups or even…
