The Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral Field Spectroscopy (MAGPI) survey is a large program on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope, using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) to obtain spatially-resolved spectroscopy of stars and ionised gas for galaxies in a range of environments 3-4 Gyrs ago.
Our sample amounts to more than a hundred galaxies and will reveal the mechanisms responsible for the morpho-kinematic variety of today’s massive galaxies.
