A survey of galaxy redshifts. II - The large scale space distribution
Abstract
A redshift survey of galaxies complete to a limiting Zwicky magnitude 14.5 in the north and south galactic polar caps above a declination of zero degrees is presented. Various projections of the redshift-space maps are given, and it is found that the statistical nature of the redshift-space distribution is very similar between north and south. The space distribution of galaxies is frothy and characterized by large filamentary superclusters of up to 60 Mpc, corresponding to large holes devoid of galaxies. Redshift-space maps are also presented, which were generated from n-body simulations, and roughly match the density and amplitude of the galaxy clustering.

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.
