WiggleZ
(survey aimed at mapping dark energy)
WiggleZ was a
survey
aimed at dark energy characterization that was conducted from
2006 to 2011 with the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) using the AAOmega spectrograph with
the 2dF camera.
It measured redshifts for a quarter million
blue emission line galaxies (ELGs) covering redshifts from 0.2 to 1.0,
selected from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) surveys.
