Description
We have measured redshifts for 241 galaxies selected from the Zwicky catalog with magnitudes 15.6 or 15.7 in the region (26.5deg<=delta<=32.5deg, 8h<=alpha=<17h). This region is the original CfA "Slice of the Universe", which was complete to 15.5; now nearly all Zwicky-catalog galaxies in the region have measured redshifts. These somewhat fainter galaxies outline the same structures as the brighter ones. By examinating a sample of 27 galaxies within the most prominent void we find (1) the fraction of absorption-line galaxies is typical of regions outside the cores of rich clusters; and (2) the local morphology-density relation holds within the globally underdense void.
