The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: correlation functions, peculiar velocities and the matter density of the Universe (2003)
Journal Article
Hawkins, E., Maddox, S., Cole, S., Lahav, O., Madgwick, D., Norberg, P., …Taylor, K. (2003). The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: correlation functions, peculiar velocities and the matter density of the Universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 346(1), 78-96. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2966.2003.07063.x

We present a detailed analysis of the two-point correlation function, ξ(σ, π), from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The large size of the catalogue, which contains ∼220 000 redshifts, allows us to make high-precision measurements of various...

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: galaxy clustering per spectral type (2003)
Journal Article
Madgwick, D., Hawkins, E., Lahav, O., Maddox, S., Norberg, P., Peacock, J., …Taylor, K. (2003). The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: galaxy clustering per spectral type. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 344(3), 847-856. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06861.x

We have calculated the two-point correlation functions in redshift space, ξ(σ, π), for galaxies of different spectral types in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. Using these correlation functions, we are able to estimate values of the linear redshift-sp... Read More about The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: galaxy clustering per spectral type.

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: the luminosity function of cluster galaxies. (2003)
Journal Article
De Propris, R., Colless, M., Driver, S., Couch, W., Peacock, J., Baldry, I., …Taylor, K. (2003). The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: the luminosity function of cluster galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 342(3), 725-737. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06510.x

We have determined the composite luminosity function (LF) for galaxies in 60 clusters from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The LF spans the range −22.5 < Mmath image < −15, and is well fitted by a Schechter function with M*math image=−20.07 ± 0.07 an...
