The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) is a spectroscopic survey of the entire
southern sky with ∣b∣>10deg, based on the 2MASS near infrared galaxy
catalog. It is conducted with the 6dF multi-fiber spectrograph attached to the
1.2-m UK Schmidt Telescope. The survey will produce redshifts for some 170,000
galaxies, and peculiar velocities for about 15,000 and is expected to be
complete by June 2005.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, IAU 8th Asian-Pacific Regional Mettin
