Extragalactic Astrophysics

• Just started

HST Surveys and Large Projects

• 3D-HST - A Spectroscopic Galaxy Evolution Survey with the Hubble Space Telescope
  • 3D-HST surveyed ~600 square arcminutes of well-studied extragalactic survey fields (AEGIS, COSMOS, GOODS-S, UKIDSS-UDS) with two orbits of primary WFC3/G141 grism coverage and two to four orbits with ACS/G800L coverage. The short acquisition images, taken in the WFC3/F140W and ACS/F814W filters used for wavelength reference for the spectra, are also deeper than most ground-based observations.

JWST Extragalactic Deep Legacy Fields

• DEEP fields planed to be observed by JWST in ERS, GTO and GO cycle 1

Ground-base Specoscopic Surveys

• List of spectroscopic surveys by Ivan Baldry

  • Covers all the "classic" ones, but some links might no longer work any more.

• PRIMUS: PRIsm MUlti-object Survey

  • A spectroscopic survey to z=1 with ~120,000 robust galaxy redshifts covering >9 sq. deg. of the sky, focusing on regions with deep Spitzer, optical, GALEX and X-ray data. Data release available

• Lega-C: Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census

  • VIMOS survey of 0.6 < z < 1.0 massive galaxies in the COSMOS field. Data release available

  • VIMOS survey of 28,000 galaxies at 0.2 < z < 1.2 and 12,000 galaxies at 1.2 < z < 3. Data release available
  • Due to the special role of the COSMOS field for spec-z and photo-z calibration, this dataset is also very important.

• VUDS: VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey

  • VIMOS survey of ~10.000 very faint galaxies to study the major phase of galaxy assembly 2 < z ≲ 6. Data release available

• DEVILS: The Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey

  • The Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey (DEVILS) is a spectroscopic campaign at the Anglo-Australian Telescope aimed at bridging the near and distant Universe by producing the highest completeness survey of galaxies and groups at intermediate redshifts (0.3<z<1.0).
  • Our sample will consist of ~58k galaxies to Ymag<21.2, over ~6deg2 to >95% completeness in three well studies deep extragalactic fields (COSMOS, ECDFS and XMM-LSS).

  • A 30-night KMOS GTO program performing deep absorption-line spectroscopy in four main overdensities at 1.39 < z < 1.8 and one lower-priority overdensity at z = 1.04 to bridge our high-redshift observations with the local sample.

• The All-weather MUse Supernova Integral field Nearby Galaxies (AMUSING) survey
