The main redshift survey - goals
To measure the luminosity function of NIR-selected galaxies (i.e. the stellar mass function of collapsed structures) and its variation with local environment and spectral type.
To map the local galaxy distribution (esp. close to the Galactic equator).
To quantify the small- and large-scale clustering of galaxies weighted by stellar mass, and so constrain the scale-dependence of the biasing of the galaxies with respect to the dark matter.
To measure the power spectrum of galaxy clustering on very large scales, comparable to the scales achieved by the 2dFGRS and SDSS.
To construct a large, all-sky, volume-limited sample of early-type galaxies as the basis for the peculiar velocity survey.
To provide a fundamental redshift catalogue for future work.
