2014年9月16日 · The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) has mapped the nearby universe over nearly half the sky. Its 136,304 spectra have yielded 110,256 new extragalactic redshifts and a new catalogue of 125,071 galaxies. A peculiar velocity survey of 8885 galaxies is measuring galaxy masses and bulk motions

The 6dF Galaxy Survey story. In 2001 our international team of astronomers started an ambitious project to measure the distances to more than one hundred thousand galaxies - and in the process, map a sizable volume of our nearby universe. Measuring the masses and motions of the galaxies was also part of the plan: all the ingredients that shape ...

2.1 6dF spectra and sample selection The main characteristics of the 6dFGS, including the 6-degree Field (6dF) instrument, target catalogue construction, the allocation of fields and fibres to targets, data reduction, and procedures for red-shift determination, are reported in Jones et al. (2004). Briefly, 6dF

The 6dF Galaxy Survey •A redshift and peculiar velocity survey of galaxies in the local universe •Observations obtained over 5 years (2001-2006) using the UK Schmidt Telescope and the 6dF spectrograph •Covers the southern sky with |b|>10º •Primary galaxy sample from 2MASS with K tot<12.75 (88% complete) •Also H<13.0, J<13.75 (2MASS) and

We report the final redshift release of the 6dF Galaxy Survey, a combined redshift and peculiar velocity survey over the southern sky (|b| > 10 ). Its 136304 spectra have yielded 110256 new extragalactic redshifts and a new cat-alogue of 125071 galaxies making near-complete samples with (K,H,J,r F,b J) 6 (12.65,12.95,13.75,15.60,16.75).

The 6dF Galaxy Survey is both a redshift survey and a peculiar velocity survey. The latter, also referred to as 6dFGSv, is presented in Springob et al. (2014, MNRAS in press). The paper includes a table of logarithmic distance ratios for all 8885 galaxies in the survey (Table 1), presented in its entirety here.
