Abstract

We present the first results of a galaxy redshift survey, ESO Slice Project (ESP), we are accomplishing as an ESO Key--Project over about 40 square degrees in a region near the South Galactic Pole. The limiting magnitude is b_J = 19.4. Up to now ∼ 85% of the observations has been completed and ∼ 65% of the data has been reduced providing ∼ 2000 galaxy redshifts. We present some preliminary results concerning the large scale galaxy distribution, the luminosity function and the properties of galaxies with spectra showing prominent emission lines.
