Collaborative Research: The DEEP Survey--Emergence of the Modern Universe

这个项目带来了DEEP2的成果，这是一项对宇宙及其在过去100亿年宇宙时间里的演变进行的主要光谱调查。DEEP2专注于星系形成现在和最终形态的时代，它的红移图精确定位了大尺度结构宇宙网中的每个星系。DEEP2将对红移1周围的大质量星系进行基本普查，类似于对当地宇宙的调查，并将作为从更高的红移调查到今天的桥梁。与其他调查相结合，这些数据将对现代测量可以获得的遥远星系的各个方面进行采样，研究星系盘的最终组装和沉降阶段，晕气体运动学和气体流出，以及活动星系核的奥秘。该计划包括许多使用DEEP数据的合作研究，由附属理论家和观察员网络领导。DEEP调查是一种独特的观测资源，其数据和目录迅速向社区和公众发布。教学、培训和协作在整个项目中无缝地交织在一起，包括为多样性选择的学生、残疾学生和其他人提供指导，其中一些人将从事不同层次的论文工作。探究性教学课程的发展，以及对合作的强烈强调，都有助于广泛传播这项研究的影响。

AST-0507483FaberThis project brings to fruition DEEP2, a major spectroscopic survey of the Universe and its evolution over the last 10 billion years of cosmic time. DEEP2 focuses on the era during which galaxies attained their present, final forms, and its redshift maps pinpoint each galaxy within the cosmic web of large-scale structure. DEEP2 will compile a basic census of massive galaxies around redshift one, similar to surveys of the local Universe, and will act as a bridge to the present day from still higher redshift surveys. In conjunction with other surveys, these data will sample essentially every aspect of distant galaxies accessible to modern measurement, studying the final assembly and settling phases of galactic disks, halo gas kinematics and gaseous outflows, and the mysteries of active galactic nuclei. The program includes many collaborative studies using DEEP data, led by a network of affiliated theorists and observers.The DEEP survey is a unique observational resource, whose data and catalogs are released promptly to the community and to the public. Teaching, training, and collaboration are woven seamlessly throughout the project, including mentoring of students chosen for diversity, disabled students, and others, some of whom will be working on theses at various levels. The development of inquiry-based teaching courses, and the strong emphasis on collaborations, both serve to spread the impacts of this research far and wide.
