The 6dF Galaxy Survey - Mass and Motions in the Nearby Universe

6DF星系调查--邻近宇宙中的质量和运动。6DF银河系调查将提供迄今为止最大、最详细的星系位置和运动地图。这项调查的目标是确定星系和暗物质的分布，以便测量基本的宇宙学参数并约束星系形成的模型。这项调查将覆盖整个南半球，测量12万个星系的红移，以及15000个星系的距离和运动。这次调查将使用我们为英澳天文台的施密特望远镜建造的独特的6DF机器人光纤光谱仪。

The 6dF Galaxy Survey - Mass and Motions in the Nearby Universe. The 6dF Galaxy Survey will yield by far the largest and most detailed map of the positions and motions of galaxies in the nearby universe. The goal of the survey is to determine the distributions of both the galaxies and the dark matter in order to measure fundamental cosmological parameters and constrain models of galaxy formation. The survey will cover the whole southern hemisphere, measuring redshifts for 120,000 galaxies and distances and motions for 15,000 galaxies. The survey will use the unique 6dF robotic fibre spectrograph we have constructed for the Anglo-Australian Observatory's Schmidt Telescope.
