The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Preliminary Results

arXiv:astro-ph/9711015

Abstract

Spectroscopic observations for a new survey of 250 000 galaxy redshifts are underway, using the 2dF instrument at the AAT. The input galaxy catalogue and commissioning data are described. The first result from the preliminary data is a new estimate of the galaxy luminosity function at <z>=0.1.
