Abstract

The Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey is one of the largest contemporary spectroscopic surveys of low-redshift galaxies. Covering an area of ~286 deg^2 (split among five survey regions) down to a limiting magnitude of r S\ersic fits, stellar masses, H$\alpha$-derived star formation rates, environment information, and group properties for all galaxies with r 19.0 mag in two of our survey regions, and for all galaxies with r 19.4 mag in a third region (72,225 objects in total). The database serving these data is available at http://www.gama-survey.org/.
