The initial impetus for this project arose when Willstrop and Wynne showed that existing equipment could be modified to realize the parameters of this experiment.
The initial impetus for this project arose when Willstrop and Wynne showed that existing equipment could be modified to realize the parameters of this experiment. This project's major technical advances included 400 optic fibers mounted in magnetic buttons, which are spread across two plates so that a robot can adjust one set of fibers while the other set is imaging. Percival et. al. in 2001 used the results of this project to characterize the large-scale density fluctuations in terms of the power spectrum of the galactic distribution, yielding results consistent with a cold dark matter universe. This survey was also the first to measure the bias between the galaxy distribution and the underlying matter distribution. Resulting in the production of a three-dimensional map of over 200,000 galaxies out to a redshift of 0.3, for 10 points, identify this astronomical survey using the Anglo-Australian Telescope which takes its name from the diameter of its field of view.
