FIRST SCIENCE RESULTS FROM THE DEIMOS/DEEP2 REDSHIFT SURVEY
Marc Davis
University of California
The DEIMOS spectrograph on the Keck-II telescope was commissioned in June, 2002, and the DEEP2 redshift survey began in July. The plan of this survey is to obtain high resolution spectra of ~60,000 galaxies to a limit of R_AB=24 over a total solid angle of 3.5 sq. degrees. In 3 of our 4 fields, we are using BRI photometry to select galaxies with z_photo>0.7. The broad science goals of the survey are to study the evolution of the properties and the clustering of the galaxies at Z~1, compared to the large samples available at Z~0. The spectra have resolution R=5000, sufficient to measure the line broadening of nearly every galaxy. In this talk we shall summarize our results to date, which include maps and correlation statistics of the high z cosmos, as well as kiematic and population studies of the target galaxies.
