A Redshift Survey from Las Campanas

确定宇宙中的大尺度结构是当今天体物理学的一个主要问题。在过去的两年里，首席研究员已经开始从一项红移调查中得出结果，该调查的目标是绘制10亿光年以外的宇宙地图。该项目包括测量25,000个选定的星系，并获得了20,000个星系的位置和星等。他们已经获得了大约10,000个光谱，并测量了与5,000个星系的距离。这个项目将通过这笔赠款继续进行。首席调查员被认为是这一研究领域的世界领导者。

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.
