The table called Spectra contains the redshifts and qualities of all the observations. When complete, it will be the largest redshift survey of the nearby Universe, reaching out to about z ~ 0.15, and more than an order of magnitude larger than any peculiar velocity survey to date. The targets are all galaxies brighter than K tot = 12.75 in the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (XSC), supplemented by 2MASS and SuperCOSMOS galaxies that complete the sample to limits of (H, J , r F, bJ) = (13.05, 13.75, 15.6, 16.75). This is the Data Release 3 version. http://www-wfau.roe.ac.uk/6dfgs/ Survey Research http://wfaudata.roe.ac.uk/6dF-ssap/? GET text/xml query pointed archival 360.0 10000 10000 180.0 1000000 Optical
