DEEP2 Redshift Survey

Astronomical survey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The DEEP2 Survey or DEEP2 was a two-phased Redshift survey of Redshift z ~ 1 galaxies (where z= a measure of speed and by extension, the distance from earth). It used the twin 10 metre Keck telescopes in Hawaii to measure the spectra and redshifts of approximately 50,000 galaxies.[1] It was the first project to study galaxies in the distant Universe with a spectral resolution similar to local surveys, such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.[2] It was completed in 2013.[1]
