A Redshift Survey from Las Campanas

宇宙大尺度结构的确定 是当今天体物理学的一个主要问题。 在过去 两年来，首席研究员已经开始制作 这是一项旨在绘制 10亿光年外的宇宙 项目 包括测量25，000个选定的星系， 两万个星系的位置和大小 得到了 已经获得了大约10,000个光谱， 他们测量了5,000个星系的距离 这 该项目将继续通过这笔赠款。 首席研究员被认为是世界领先的， 这个研究领域。

The determination of large scale structure in the universe is a major problem in astrophysics today. During the last two years, the Principal Investigator has begun to produce results from a redshift survey which aims to map the universe beyond 1 billion light years distance. The project consists of measuring 25,000 selected galaxies, and positions and magnitudes of 20,000 galaxies have been obtained. Approximately 10,000 spectra have been obtained, and they have measured distances to 5,000 galaxies. This project will be continued through this grant. The Principal Investigator is regarded as a world leader in this research area.
