Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey

The Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey is a project that plans to exploit the latest generation of ground-based wide-field survey facilities to study cosmology and galaxy formation and evolution. GAMA plans to bring together data from a number of world class instruments: The Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT), The VLT Survey Telescope (VST) The Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) The Herschel Space Observatory The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Data from these instruments will be used to construct a state-of-the-art multi-wavelength database of ~375,000 galaxies in the local Universe over a 360 deg2 region of sky, based on a spectroscopic redshift survey on the AAT's AAOmega spectrograph.
