Redshifts for 2410 Galaxies in the Century Survey Region

Abstract

The `Century Survey' strip covers 102 square degrees within the limits 8.5h \leq α_{1950} \leq 16.5h, 29.0 degrees \leq δ_{1950} \leq 30.0 degrees. The strip passes through the Corona Borealis supercluster and the outer region of the Coma cluster. Within the Century Survey region, we have measured 2410 redshifts which constitute four overlapping complete redshift surveys: (1) 1728 galaxies with Kron-Cousins R_{phot} \leq 16.13 covering the entire strip, (2) 507 galaxies with R_{phot} \leq 16.4 in the right ascension range 8h 32m \leq α_{1950} \leq 10h 45m, (3) 1251 galaxies with absorption- and K-corrected R_{CCD, corr} \leq 16.2 covering the right ascension range 8.5h \leq α_{1950} \leq 13.5h and (4) 1255 galaxies with absorption- and K-corrected V_{CCD, corr} \leq 16.7 also covering the right ascension range 8.5h \leq α_{1950} \leq 13.5h. All of these redshift samples are more than 98 % complete to the specified magnitude limit.
