AEGIS, or the All-Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey, is a multi-wavelength astronomical survey of a patch of the sky with low extinction and zodiacal scattering. The purpose of the survey is to study the physical processes and evolution of galaxies at redshift z ~ 1. As of February 2011 more than 80 research papers have been published based on data from the survey.[1]
AEGIS makes use of multiple terrestrial and space based observatories to conduct the survey. These observatories make overlapping scans of the survey area.[2] The primary telescopes are:[3]
