WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey
The WiggleZ Dark Energy
Survey was a large-scale galaxy redshift survey of bright
emission-line galaxies over the redshift range z < 1 with median
redshift z = 0.6, which was carried out at the Anglo-Australian
Telescope at Siding Spring, Australia between August 2006 and January
2011. In total more than 200,000 redshifts were obtained, covering 1000
deg2 of equatorial sky divided into seven well-separated regions.
WiggleZ galaxies were selected for observation using colour and
magnitude cuts from a combination of optical and UV imaging. The
optical imaging employed was from the SDSS in the Northern Galactic Pole
and from the RCS2 survey in the Southern Galactic Pole, and UV imaging
was provided by the GALEX satellite.
The WiggleZ survey dataset was used to produce some of the first
high-redshift baryon acoustic
oscillation measurements and growth of structure measurements
, BAO measurements
including density-field reconstruction , constraints on cosmological
parameters and the
properties of neutrinos , and many other scientific results.
You can access our final redshift catalogues and large-scale structure data and
random catalogues.
