The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: spectra and redshifts
Open accessAbstract
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) is designed to measure redshifts for approximately 250-000 galaxies. This paper describes the survey design, the spectroscopic observations, the redshift measurements and the survey data base. The 2dFGRS uses the 2dF multifibre spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, which is capable of observing 400 objects simultaneously over a 2° diameter field. The source catalogue for the survey is a revised and extended version of the APM galaxy catalogue, and the targets are galaxies with extinction-corrected magnitudes brighter than . The main survey regions are two declination strips, one in the southern Galactic hemisphere spanning around the SGP, and the other in the northern Galactic hemisphere spanning along the celestial equator; in addition, there are 99 fields spread over the southern Galactic cap. The survey covers 2000-deg2 and has a median depth of . Adaptive tiling is used to give a highly uniform sampling rate of 93 per cent over the whole survey region. Redshifts are measured from spectra covering at a two-pixel resolution of 9.0-Å and a median S/N of 13-pixel−1. All redshift identifications are visually checked and assigned a quality parameter Q in the range redshifts are 98.4 per cent reliable and have an rms uncertainty of 85-km-s−1. The overall redshift completeness for redshifts is 91.8 per cent, but this varies with magnitude from 99 per cent for the brightest galaxies to 90 per cent for objects at the survey limit. The 2dFGRS data base is available on the World Wide Web at http://www.mso.anu.edu.au/2dFGRS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
