AEGIS
Extended Groth Strip taken with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys.[1]

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.[2]

Observatories

AEGIS makes use of multiple terrestrial and space based observatories to conduct the survey. These observatories make overlapping scans of the survey area.[3] The primary telescopes are:[4]
