Abstract:
We present a sample of galaxies in six fields, each of area 2 sq deg,
located in the North and South galactic polar caps. Photoelectrically
calibrated photographic magnitudes and J-F colors have been determined
for 512 galaxies brighter than completeness limits which range from
F=16.5 to F=17.2 among the fields. Velocities, with typical
accuracies of 150km/s have been obtained for 280 of the brighter
galaxies. Using these data and previously published work, we determine
the general galaxy luminosity function parameters to be M*F=-22.7,
α=-1.25, and the mean visual luminosity density of the universe to
be ρ=2.3x108hL☉/Mpc3. Assuming M/Lv=300h, this implies
{OMEGA}∼0.26.
