TL;DR: The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) as discussed by the authors is a combined redshift and peculiar velocity survey over the southern sky (|b| > 10°) which yielded 110 256 new extragalactic redshifts and a new catalogue of 125 071 galaxies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report redshifts, magnitudes, and morphological classifications for 5369 galaxies with mB ≤ 15.5 and for 57 galaxies fainter than this limit, in two regions covering a total of 1.70 sr in the southern celestial hemisphere.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss a magnitude-limited redshift survey covering a region around the south Galactic pole (SSRS2), which includes 3592 galaxies and covers a region of 1.13 sr to a limiting m(sub B(0)) = 15.5, directly comparable to CfA2.
