The 6dF Galaxy Survey: final redshift release (DR3) and southern large-scale structures
- D. Jones, M. Read, +30 authors 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…
The 6dF Galaxy Survey: baryon acoustic oscillations and the local Hubble constant
- F. Beutler, C. Blake, +6 authors F. Watson
- Physics
- 16 June 2011
We analyse the large-scale correlation function of the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and detect a baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) signal at 105h −1 Mpc. The 6dFGS BAO detection allows us to constrain…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Samples, observational techniques and the first data release
- D. Jones, W. Saunders, +20 authors K. Wakamatsu
- Physics
- 21 March 2004
The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) aims to measure the redshifts of around 150 000 galaxies, and the peculiar velocities of a 15 000-member subsample, over almost the entire southern sky. When complete,…
Local stellar kinematics from RAVE data - I. Local standard of rest
- B. Coşkunoğlu, S. Ak, +19 authors T. Zwitter
- Physics
- 4 November 2010
We analyze a sample of 82850 stars from the RAVE survey, with well-determined velocities and stellar parameters, to isolate a sample of 18026 high-probability thin-disc dwarfs within 600 pc of the…
The RAVE survey : the Galactic escape speed and the mass of the Milky Way
- T. Piffl, C. Scannapieco, +22 authors T. Zwitter
- Physics
- 17 September 2013
We made new estimates of the Galactic escape speed at various Galactocentric radii using the latest data release of the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE DR4). Compared to previous studies we have a…
The radial velocity experiment (RAVE): First data release
- M. Steinmetz, T. Zwitter, +51 authors E. Schilbach

The AAO/UKST SuperCOSMOS Hα survey
- Q. Parker, S. Phillipps, +19 authors R. Walker
- Physics
- 24 June 2005
The UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST) of the Anglo-Australian Observatory completed a narrowband Ha plus [N II] 6548, 6584-A survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Magellanic Clouds in late 2003. The…
Constraining the Galaxy's dark halo with RAVE stars
- T. Piffl, J. Binney, +17 authors T. Zwitter
- Physics
- 16 June 2014
We use the kinematics of ∼200000 giant stars that lie within ∼1.5kpc of the plane to measure the vertical profile of mass density near the Sun. We find that the dark mass contained within the…
The dipole anisotropy of the 2 Micron All-Sky Redshift Survey
- P. Erdoğdu, J. Huchra, +14 authors W. Saunders
- Physics
- 7 July 2005
We estimate the acceleration on the Local Group (LG) from the 2 Micron All-Sky Redshift Survey (2MRS). The sample used includes about 23 200 galaxies with extinction-corrected magnitudes brighter…
