First results from a deeper survey of a southern redshift slice

Abstract

In this paper we present the first results from an effort to extend in depth the recently completed Southern Sky Redshift Survey. We have measured redshifts for a complete sample of galaxies with morphological types earlier than Sbc in a declination strip of ~135^deg^ x 10^deg^, down to a magnitude limit of m_B(0)_ ~ 15.1. We confirm the general pattern seen in the north that galaxies are distributed on relatively thin wall-like structures that surround vast voids, some as large as 60h^-1^ Mpc (H_0_ = 100h km s^-1^ Mpc^-1^). The presence of two large voids immediately adjacent to each other in our slice supports earlier suggestions that such large voids may be a common feature of the nearby universe. Our sample also contains two elongated structures with linear dimensions ranging from at least 60h^-1^ Mpc to over 100h^-1^ Mpc.
