6dF Galaxy Survey
The 6dF Galaxy Survey (Six-degree-Field Galaxy Survey), 6dF or 6dFGS is a redshift survey conducted by the Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO) with the 1.2m UK Schmidt Telescope between 2001 and 2009. The data from this survey were made public on 31 March 2009. The survey has mapped the nearby universe over nearly half the sky. Its 136 304 spectra have yielded 110 256 new extragalactic redshifts and a new catalog of 125 071 galaxies. For a subsample of 6dF a peculiar velocity survey is measuring mass distribution and bulk motions of the local Universe. As of July 2009, it is the third largest redshift survey next to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS).
