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. |
