CARMA EDGE

The CARMA Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution (EDGE) is a molecular gas survey of 126 galaxies based on the CALIFA (Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey) IFU sample. From December 2014 to April 2015 CARMA mapped in CO 177 galaxies in E-array 1-hour snapshots and 126 galaxies in D-array with deeper 5-hour integrations.
