Redshifts and photometry of a complete sample of galaxies. Kirshner, R. P. ; Oemler, A., Jr. ; Schechter, P. L. Abstract As a first step towards a redetermination of the luminosity function and space distribution of field galaxies, data are presented on a magnitude-limited sample of galaxies in eight fields in the north and south galactic polar caps. Redshifts, accurate to about 100 km/s have been obtained for 164 of 184 galaxies brighter than J=15.0 (B approximately equal to 15.5). Magnitudes and colors have also been measured for a large sample of 807 galaxies, complete to J approximately equal to 15.7.

Fan-beam Observations of Bright Galaxies

A survey has been made of 139 bright southern galaxies using the 1´.5 X 4° fan beam of the E-W arm of the Mills cross. These represent a largely complete sample of galaxies down to a limiting total optical magnitude of ~11.0 when corrected for Galactic absorption by 0.35 cosec β and for internal absorption due to the tilt of the emitting galaxy. Of these, 54 were detected down to a limiting radio flux of 0.4 f.u., at which level the probability of a misidentification is 10%. No a priori distinctions were made between the galaxies on the basis of strong radio emission or optical peculiarities.
