6dFGS Galaxy Survey Final Redshift Release Catalog

The final redshift release of the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) is a combined redshift and peculiar velocity survey over the southern sky (|b| > 10 degrees). Its 136,304 spectra have yielded 110,256 new extragalactic redshifts and a new catalogue of 125,071 galaxies making near-complete samples with limits in (K, H, J, r<sub>F</sub>, b<sub>J</sub>) (12.65, 12.95, 13.75, 15.60, 16.75). The median redshift of the survey is 0.053. The catalog includes basic data for the galaxies in the 6dFGS with redshifts, using the best 6dFGS redshifts (radial velocity quality flag Q =3 or 4) plus available redshifts from SDSS, 2dFGRS and ZCAT (124,647 entries in all). It supersedes the previous DR2 version (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/249">CDS Cat. VII/249</a>). The home page of of the 6dFGS database is <a href="http://www-wfau.roe.ac.uk/6dFGS">http://www-wfau.roe.ac.uk/6dFGS</a>. Any use of these data should explicitly state that they come from the Final Release of 6dFGS and cite both the 6dGS DR3 paper (Jones et al. 2009, MNRAS, 399, 683) as well as the original 6dFGS survey paper (Jones et al. 2004, MNRAS, 355, 747). This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/259">CDS Catalog VII/259</a> file 6dfgs.dat.
