Emission line galaxies in a narrow strip toward Perseus

Abstract

Many studies have suggested that emission line galaxies (ELG's) have spatial distributions that differ from non-emission line galaxies. The ELG's tend to avoid rich clusters and may sometimes reside within voids. This paper describes work in progress on a redshift survey aimed both at determining the angular extent of the structures detected in deep pencil beam survey and at studying the characteristics of galaxies with respect to the rest of the sample
