We present $ugR$ optical images taken with the MMT/Megacam and the Subaru/Suprime of the Extended Groth Strip survey. The total survey covers an area of about $sim 1$ degree$^2$, including four sub-fields and is optimized for the study of galaxies at $zsim3$. Our methods for photometric calibration in AB magnitudes, the limiting magnitude and the galaxy number count are described. A sample of 1642 photometrically selected candidate LBGs to an apparent $R_{AB}$ magnitude limit of 25.0 is present. The average sky surface density of our LBGs sample is $sim$ 1.0 arcmin$^{-2}$, slightly higher than the previous finding.

We present the results of deep chandra imaging of the central region of the Extended Groth Strip, the AEGIS-X Deep (AEGIS-XD) survey. When combined with previous chandra observations of a wider area of the strip, AEGIS-X Wide (AEGIS-XW; Laird et~al.
2009), these provide data to a nominal exposure depth of 800ks in the three central ACIS-I fields, a region of approximately $0.29$~deg$^{2}$. This is currently the third deepest X-ray survey in existence, a factor $sim 2-3$ shallower than the Chandra Deep Fields (CDFs) but over an area $sim 3$ times greater than each CDF. We present a catalogue of 937 point sources detected in the deep chandra observations. We present identifications of our X-ray sources from deep ground-based, Spitzer, GALEX and HST imaging. Using a likelihood ratio analysis, we associate multi band counterparts for 929/937 of our X-ray sources, with an estimated 95~% reliability, making the identification completeness approximately 94~% in a statistical sense. Reliable spectroscopic redshifts for 353 of our X-ray sources are provided predominantly from Keck (DEEP2/3) and MMT Hectospec, so the current spectroscopic completeness is $sim 38$~per cent. For the remainder of the X-ray sources, we compute photometric redshifts based on multi-band photometry in up to 35 bands from the UV to mid-IR. Particular attention is given to the fact that the vast majority the X-ray sources are AGN and require hybrid templates. Our photometric redshifts have mean accuracy of $sigma=0.04$ and an outlier fraction of approximately 5%, reaching $sigma=0.03$ with less than 4% outliers in the area covered by CANDELS . The X-ray, multi-wavelength photometry and redshift catalogues are made publicly available.
We present the AEGIS-X survey, a series of deep Chandra ACIS-I observations of the Extended Groth Strip. The survey comprises pointings at 8 separate positions, each with nominal exposure 200ks, covering a total area of approximately 0.67 deg2 in a s
trip of length 2 degrees. We describe in detail an updated version of our data reduction and point source detection algorithms used to analyze these data. A total of 1325 band-merged sources have been found to a Poisson probability limit of 4e-6, with limiting fluxes of 5.3e-17 erg/cm2/s in the soft (0.5-2 keV) band and 3.8e-16 erg/cm2/s in the hard (2-10 keV) band. We present simulations verifying the validity of our source detection procedure and showing a very small, <1.5%, contamination rate from spurious sources. Optical/NIR counterparts have been identified from the DEEP2, CFHTLS, and Spitzer/IRAC surveys of the same region. Using a likelihood ratio method, we find optical counterparts for 76% of our sources, complete to R(AB)=24.1, and, of the 66% of the sources that have IRAC coverage, 94% have a counterpart to a limit of 0.9 microJy at 3.6 microns (m(AB)=23.8). After accounting for (small) positional offsets in the 8 Chandra fields, the astrometric accuracy of the Chandra positions is found to be 0.8 arcsec RMS, however this number depends both on the off-axis angle and the number of detected counts for a given source. All the data products described in this paper are made available via a public website.
We investigate galactic-scale outflowing winds in 72 star-forming galaxies at z~1 in the Extended Groth Strip. Galaxies were selected from the DEEP2 survey and follow-up LRIS spectroscopy was obtained covering SiII, CIV, FeII, MgII, and MgI lines in
the rest-frame ultraviolet. Using GALEX, HST, and Spitzer imaging, we examine galaxies on a per-object basis in order to understand both the prevalence of galactic winds at z~1 and the star-forming and structural properties of objects experiencing outflows. Gas velocities, measured from the centroids of FeII interstellar absorption lines, span the interval [-217, +155] km/s. We find that ~40% (10%) of the sample exhibits blueshifted FeII lines at the 1-sigma (3-sigma) level. We also measure maximal outflow velocities using the profiles of the FeII and MgII lines, and show that MgII frequently traces higher velocity gas than FeII. Quantitative morphological parameters derived from the HST imaging suggest that mergers are not a prerequisite for driving outflows. More face-on galaxies also show stronger winds than highly-inclined systems, consistent with the canonical picture of winds emanating perpendicular to galactic disks. Using star-formation rates calculated from GALEX data, and areas estimated from HST imaging, we detect a ~3-sigma correlation between outflow velocity and star-formation rate surface density, but only a weak (~1-sigma) trend between outflow velocity and star-formation rate. Higher resolution data are needed in order to test the scaling relations between outflow velocity and both star-formation rate and star-formation rate surface density predicted by theory.
We describe AEGIS20 - a radio survey of the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) conducted with the Very Large Array (VLA) at 1.4GHz. The resulting catalog contains 1,123 emitters and is sensitive to ultraluminous starbursts to z<=1.3, well matched to the reds
hift range of the DEEP2 spectroscopic survey in this region. We use stacking techniques to explore the uJy-level emission from a variety of galaxy populations selected via conventional criteria - Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs), distant red galaxies (DRGs), UV-selected galaxies and extremely red objects (EROs) - determining their properties as a function of color, magnitude and redshift and their extinction-free contributions to the history of star formation. We confirm the familiar pattern that the star-formation-rate (SFR) density, SFRD, rises by at least ~5x from z=0-1, although we note highly discrepant UV- and radio-based SFR estimates. Our radio-based SFRs become more difficult to interpret at z>1 where correcting for contamination by radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) comes at the price of rejecting luminous starbursts. Whilst stacking radio images is a useful technique, accurate radio-based SFRs for z>>1 galaxies require precise redshifts and extraordinarily high-fidelity radio data to identify and remove accretion-related emission.
OTELO (OSIRIS Tunable Emission Line Object Survey) will be carried out with the OSIRIS instrument at the 10 m GTC telescope at La Palma, and is aimed to be the deepest and richest survey of emission line objects to date. The deep narrow-band optical
data from OSIRIS will be complemented by means of additional observations that include: (i) an exploratory broad-band survey that is already being carried out in the optical domain, (ii) FIR and sub-mm observations to be carried with the Herschel space telescope and the GTM, and (iii) deep X-Ray observations from XMM-Newton and Chandra.Here we present a preliminary analysis of public EPIC data of one of the OTELO targets,the Groth-Westphal strip, gathered from the XMM-Newton Science Archive (XSA). EPIC images are combined with optical BVRI data from our broadband survey carried out with the 4.2m WHT at La Palma. Distance-independent diagnostics (involving X/O ratio, hardness ratios, B/T ratio) are tested.
