| Contains the parameters provided for each source in the 2dFGRS SGP photometric catalogue. |
| The photometric catalogue has been derived from APM scans of the Southern Sky Survey (see Colless et al. 2001). It's highly complete down to its nominal limit at an extinction-corrected magnitude (BJSEL) of approximately bJ=19.45; this limit varies slightly from field to field. Required constraints:
