Abstract:
Using the fibre optic coupler at the Anglo-Australian Observatory, we
have completed a new faint galaxy redshift survey. Intermediate
dispersion spectra with resolution ∼4Å have been gathered for over
200 field galaxies selected in apparent magnitude slices between
20.0<bJ<21.5mag in five high-latitude fields. Redshift completeness
is 85% and the mean redshift agrees well from field to field.
Description:
Spectroscopic observations were made using the FOCAP fibre-optic
multi-object coupler at the AAT during 6 clear nights out of 10
allocated to the proect during 1985-August, 1985-November, and
1986-August. The fibres have a diameter of 2.67arcsec and feed the RGO
spectrograph equipped with a 66Å/mm grating in the wavelength range
3850-6050Å for a resolution of 4Å. Fibers were also fed to the
FOS (Faint Object Read Spectrograph), covering the wavelength range
5000-10000Å with a resolution of 15Å.
