The DEEP2 Survey or DEEP2 was a two-phased redshift survey of galaxies at redshifts . It used the twin 10-metre Keck telescopes in Hawaii to measure the spectra and redshifts of approximately 50,000 galaxies.[1] It was the first project to study galaxies in the distant universe with a spectral resolution similar to local surveys, such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.[2] It was completed in 2013.[1]
