redshift survey

(survey of the universe aiming at three dimensions)

A redshift survey is an astronomical survey gathering redshifts of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and other phenomena (e.g., supernovae) aiming to map the universe in three dimensions. The results are conveniently presented in redshift space, and can interpreted as three spatial dimensions using the Hubble constant.
