GAMA

(Galaxy and Mass Assembly Survey)
(galaxy spectroscopy survey to roughly 1 Mpc)

GAMA (for Galaxy and Mass Assembly Survey) is a spectroscopic survey of about 300,000 galaxies in the local universe within five survey regions (G02, G09, G12, G15, and G23, the number being its rough right ascension in angular hours) totaling about 360 square degrees. The galaxies range in magnitude to 19.8. The survey uses data from other surveys plus observations by the AAOmega multi-object spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT), carried out between 2008 and 2014.
