Journal ArticleDOI
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Spectra and redshifts
Matthew Colless,Gavin Dalton,Steve Maddox,William J. Sutherland,Peder Norberg,Shaun Cole,Joss Bland-Hawthorn,Terry Bridges,R. D. Cannon,Chris A. Collins,Warrick J. Couch,N. G. J. Cross,K. Deeley,R. DePropris,Simon P. Driver,George Efstathiou,Richard S. Ellis,Carlos S. Frenk,Karl Glazebrook,Carole Jackson,Ofer Lahav,Ian Lewis,Stuart Lumsden,Darren Madgwick,John A. Peacock,Bruce A. Peterson,Ian Price,M. Seaborne,Keith Taylor +28 more
TL;DR: The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) as discussed by the authors uses the 2DF multi-fibre spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, which is capable of observing 400 objects simultaneously over a 2-degree diameter field.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Power-spectrum analysis of the final dataset and cosmological implications
Shaun Cole,Will J. Percival,John A. Peacock,Peder Norberg,Carlton M. Baugh,Carlos S. Frenk,Ivan K. Baldry,J. Bland-Hawthorn,T. Bridges,R. D. Cannon,Matthew Colless,Chris A. Collins,W. J.

Lahav,Ian Lewis,Stuart Lumsden,Steve Maddox,Darren Madgwick,Bruce A. Peterson,William J. Sutherland,Keith Taylor +30 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a power spectrum analysis of the final 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey is presented, employing a direct Fourier method, and the covariance matrix for the power-spectrum estimates is determined using two different approaches to the construction of mock surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: correlation functions, peculiar velocities and the matter density of the Universe
Ed Hawkins,Steve Maddox,Shaun Cole,Ofer Lahav,Darren Madgwick,Peder Norberg,John A. Peacock,Ivan K. Baldry,Carlton M. Baugh,Joss Bland-Hawthorn,T. Bridges,R. D. Cannon,Matthew Colless,Chris A.

Percival,Bruce A. Peterson,William J. Sutherland,Keith Taylor +29 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of the two-point correlation function, from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS), was presented, which can be fit by a power-law, with r_0=5.05+/-0.28 Mpc/h.
Journal ArticleDOI
A measurement of the cosmological mass density from clustering in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey
John A. Peacock,Shaun Cole,Peder Norberg,Carlton M. Baugh,Joss Bland-Hawthorn,T. Bridges,R. D. Cannon,Matthew Colless,Chris A. Collins,Warrick J. Couch,Gavin Dalton,K. Deeley,R. De Propris,Simon P. Driver,George Efstathiou,Richard S. Ellis,Carlos S. Frenk,Karl Glazebrook,Carole Jackson,Ofer Lahav,Ian Lewis,Stuart Lumsden,Steve Maddox,Will J. Percival,Bruce A. Peterson,Ian Price,William J. Sutherland,Keith Taylor +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the redshifts of more than 141,000 galaxies from the two-degree-field galaxy redshift survey to determine the parameter beta = Omega 0.43 +- 0.07, where Omega is the total mass-density parameter and b is a measure of the bias of the luminous galaxies in the survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The bias of galaxies and the density of the Universe
Licia Verde,Alan Heavens,Will J. Percival,Sabino Matarrese,Carlton M. Baugh,Joss Bland-Hawthorn,T. Bridges,R. D. Cannon,Shaun Cole,Matthew Colless,Chris A. Collins,Warrick J. Couch,Gavin Dalton,R. De Propris,Simon P. Driver,George Efstathiou,Richard S. Ellis,Carlos S. Frenk,Karl Glazebrook,Carole Jackson,Ofer Lahav,Ian Lewis,Stuart Lumsden,Steve Maddox,Darren Madgwick,Peder Norberg,John A. Peacock,Bruce A. Peterson,William J. Sutherland,Keith Taylor +29 more
TL;DR: In this article, the bias parameter of the 2dFGRS data set was used to measure the strength of clustering of the galaxies relative to the mass in the universe, and it was shown that optically selected galaxies do indeed trace the underlying mass distribution.
