Abstract:
We present the radial velocities and blue, optical magnitudes for all
of the galaxies within the Durham/UKST Galaxy Redshift Survey. This
catalogue consists of ~2500 galaxy redshifts to a limiting apparent
magnitude of B_J_~17mag, covering a ~1500deg^2^ area around the South
Galactic Pole. The galaxies in this survey were selected from the
Edinburgh/Durham Southern Galaxy Catalogue and were sampled, in order
of apparent magnitude, at a rate of one galaxy in every three. The
spectroscopy was performed at the 1.2-m UK Schmidt Telescope in
Australia using the FLAIR multi-object spectrograph. We show that our
radial velocity measurements made with this instrument have an
empirical accuracy of +/-150km/s. The observational techniques and
data reduction procedures used in the construction of this survey are
also discussed. This survey demonstrates that the UKST can be used to
make a three-dimensional map of the large-scale galaxy distribution,
via a redshift survey to b_J_~17mag, over a wide area of the sky.
