Canada-France Redshift Survey

(CFRS)
(1990s survey of galaxies to z = 1 to find associations of redshift to characteristics)

The Canada-France Redshift Survey (CFRS) produced a catalog of over 500 faint galaxies in the range of z = 0 to 1 aiming to be a sample of similar galaxies over a significant range of lookback times (back 8+ gigayears) for comparison and contrast, to provide clues to galaxy evolution. Observation was carried out on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT).
