“…In this paper, we present KHJr F b J LFs from an interim subset of the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey (6dFGS; Jones et al 2004Jones et al , 2005, a NIR-selected redshift survey of 150 000 galaxies over almost the entire southern sky combined with a 15 000-galaxy peculiar velocity survey. The full target list contains 174 442 sources, although most of these (138 226) come from five main samples that are complete to (K , H , J , r F , b J ) = (12.…”

Luminosity functions and their integrated luminosity densities are presented for the 6‐degree Field Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). This ongoing survey ultimately aims to measure around 150 000 redshifts and 15 000 peculiar velocities over almost the entire southern sky at |b| > 10°. The main target samples are taken from the 2‐Micron All‐Sky Survey (2MASS) Extended Source Catalog and the SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey catalogue, and comprise 138 226 galaxies complete to (K, H, J, rF, bJ) = (12.75, 13.00, 13.75, 15.60, 16.75). These samples are comparable in size to the optically selected Sloan Digital Sky Survey and 2‐degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) samples, and improve on recent near‐infrared‐selected redshift surveys by more than an order of magnitude in both number and sky coverage. The partial samples used in this paper contain a little over half of the total sample in each band and are ∼90 per cent complete. Luminosity distributions are derived using the 1/Vmax, Sandage–Tammann–Yahil (STY) and step‐wise maximum likelihood (SWML) estimators, and probe 1–2 absolute magnitudes fainter in the near‐infrared than previous surveys. The effects of magnitude errors, redshift incompleteness and peculiar velocities have been taken into account and corrected throughout. Generally, the 6dFGS luminosity functions are in excellent agreement with those of similarly sized surveys. Our data are of sufficient quality to demonstrate that a Schechter function is not an ideal fit to the true luminosity distribution, due to its inability to simultaneously match the faint‐end slope and rapid bright‐end decline. Integrated luminosity densities from the 6dFGS are consistent with an old stellar population and moderately declining star formation rate.

“…In the two-dimensional projection Much of the HIPASS volume was also surveyed optically. The six degree field galaxy redshift survey (6dFGRS; Jones et al 2004Jones et al , 2005 is a redshift survey of the southern sky. The full 6dFGS contains more than 120 000 redshifts, and was collected from 2001 to 2005.…”

We present the first statistically significant detection of cosmic structure using broadly distributed hydrogen radio emission. This is accomplished using a cross‐correlation with optical galaxies. Statistical noise levels of 20 μK are achieved, unprecedented in this frequency band. The signal is consistent with arising from the collective flux of known populations of galaxies. This lends support to the idea that large volumes of the Universe can be rapidly mapped without the need to resolve individual faint galaxies, enabling precise constraints to dark energy models. We discuss strategies for improved intensity mapping.

“…More recent galaxy redshift surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, York et al 2000), the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS, Colless et al 2001) and the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS, Jones et al 2004) have provided redshifts for much larger samples of galaxies. These data will clearly be very useful for finding new ULIRGs in the FSC92, which has been attempted by several studies (Goto 2005;Pasquali, Kauffmann & Heckman 2005;Cao et al 2006).…”

We present a result of cross‐correlating the Infrared Astronomical Satellite Faint Source Catalogue with the spectroscopic catalogues of galaxies in the Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Final Data Release of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Second Data Release of the 6dF Galaxy Survey. We have identified 324 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) including 190 newly discovered ULIRGs, and two hyperluminous infrared galaxies. Adding these new ULIRGs, we increase the number of known ULIRGs by about 30 per cent. The reliability of the cross‐correlation is estimated using the likelihood ratio method. The incompleteness of our sample introduced by the identification procedure in this study is estimated to be about 5 per cent. Our sample covers the redshift range of z= 0.037–0.517 with a median redshift of , which is larger than that of the sample of previously known ULIRGs.
