The 2dF galaxy redshift survey: near-infrared galaxy luminosity functions
- S. Cole, P. Norberg, K. Taylor
- Physics
- 20 December 2000
We combine the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Extended Source Catalogue and the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey to produce an infrared selected galaxy catalogue with 17 173 measured redshifts. We use…
The 6dF Galaxy Survey: final redshift release (DR3) and southern large-scale structures
- D. Jones, M. Read, Mary E. K. Williams
- Physics
- 31 March 2009
We report the final redshift release of the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS), a combined redshift and peculiar velocity survey over the southern sky (|b| > 10°). Its 136 304 spectra have yielded 110 256 new…
Review of Particle Physics (RPP)
- J. Beringer, R. Chivukula, Z. Ligeti
- Physics
- 1 July 2012
This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous editions, plus 2658 new measurements from 644 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge…
THE 2MASS REDSHIFT SURVEY—DESCRIPTION AND DATA RELEASE
- J. Huchra, L. Macri, M. Westover
- Physics
- 2 August 2011
We present the results of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS), a ten-year project to map the full three-dimensional distribution of galaxies in the nearby universe. The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS)…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The bJ-band galaxy luminosity function and survey selection function
- P. Norberg, S. Cole, K. Taylor
- Physics
- 1 November 2001
We use more than 110 500 galaxies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) to estimate the bJ-band galaxy luminosity function at redshift z = 0, taking account of evolution, the distri- bution of…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: power-spectrum analysis of the final data set and cosmological implications
- S. Cole, W. Percival, K. Taylor
- Physics
- 11 January 2005
We present a power-spectrum analysis of the final 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS), employing a direct Fourier method. The sample used comprises 221 414 galaxies with measured redshifts. We…
Dynamical effects of the cosmological constant.
- O. Lahav, P. Lilje, J. Primack, M. Rees
- Physics
- 1 July 1991
The possibility of measuring the density parameter OMEGA-0 and the cosmological constant lambda-0 = LAMBDA/(3H0(2)) using dynamical tests is explored in linear and non-linear theory. In linear theory…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: correlation functions, peculiar velocities and the matter density of the Universe
- E. Hawkins, S. Maddox, K. Taylor
- Physics
- 17 December 2002
We present a detailed analysis of the two-point correlation function, xi(sigma, pi), from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The large size of the catalogue, which contains similar to220 000…
Dependence of Galaxy Clustering on Luminosity and Spectral Type
- P. Norberg, C. Baugh, the 2dFGRS Team
- Physics
- 3 December 2001
We investigate the dependence of galaxy clustering on luminosity and spectral type using the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). Spectral types are assigned using the principal-component analysis of…
Galaxy ecology: groups and low-density environments in the SDSS and 2dFGRS
We analyse the observed correlation between galaxy environment and Halpha emission-line strength, using volume-limited samples and group catalogues of 24 968 galaxies at 0.05 < z < 0.095, drawn from…
