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. It produces a map in redshift space that can be
interpreted as three space dimensions using Hubble parameter.
