We report on the progress of the compilation and analysis of the Durham/UKST galaxy redshift survey. This survey will probe a large contiguous volume of space within a 1500 sq. deg. area of sky around the SGP. It will contain redshifts of ∼ 4000 galaxies of bJ < 17m providing detailed information about the structure of the Universe on large scales. Large features on scales of ∼ 100h−1 Mpc are clearly visible on examination of the completed section of the survey, although a statistical analysis of the survey by means of the two-point correlation function is close to zero on scales of r > 10h−1 Mpc.

In frames of the chaotic inflation scenario the influence of the inhomogeneity of the inflationary universe on the primordial fluctuations spectrum is investigated. The phenomenon of the anisotropy of the observed large-scale structure is predicted. In particular this means that the two-point correlation function ξ(x) is anisotropic. An expected value of the anisotropy is about 10%. The observation of the anisotropy predicted could serve as confirmation to the chaotic inflation scenario.

The aim of the survey is to sample a relatively large, randomly chosen volume of the Universe in order to study the large-scale distribution of galaxies using the two-point correlation function, the peculiar velocities between galaxy pairs and to provide an estimate of the galaxian luminosity function that is unaffected by density inhomogeneities and Virgo infall.

The HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) offers a unique perspective on the galaxy population in the local universe. A catalogue of 4315 HI-selected galaxies has been extracted from the southern region of the survey (δ < +2°). This catalogue gives a clear view of the local large-scale structure and is used to study the two-point correlation function, the Tully-Fisher relation, and galaxy luminosity and mass functions. Some initial results are discussed here.
