Abstract:
The Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS) consists of 26,418 redshifts
of galaxies selected from a CCD-based catalog obtained in the R band.
The survey covers over 700deg^2 in six strips, each 1.5x80deg, three
each in the north and south Galactic caps. The median redshift in the
survey is about 30,000km/s. Essential features of the galaxy selection
and redshift measurement methods are described and tabulated here.
These details are important for subsequent analysis of the LCRS data.
Two-dimensional representations of the redshift distributions reveal
many repetitions of voids, on the scale of about 5000km/s, sharply
bounded by large walls of galaxies as seen in nearby surveys.
Statistical investigations of the mean galaxy properties and of
clustering on the large scale are reported elsewhere. These include
studies of the luminosity function, power spectrum in two and three
dimensions, correlation function, pairwise velocity distribution,
identification of large-scale structures, and a group catalog.
Description:
In referencing individual galaxies within the LCRS, it is recommended
that investigators adhere to the IAU-registered LCRS naming
convention, as listed in the online "dictionary of nomenclature of
celestial objects" (http://astro.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/Dic), which is:
LCRS BHHMMSS.s-DDMMSS, in which the coordinates are equinox 1950.0, RA
is truncated (* not rounded *) to a tenth of a second, and DEC is
truncated (* not rounded *) to a whole arcsecond.
