Groth Strip
(Groth-Westphal Strip)
(region of sky in early HST survey)
The Groth Strip (aka Groth-Westphal Strip) is a strip-shaped
survey field that was defined for an early
Hubble Space Telescope survey (the Groth Strip Survey, GSS)
carried out with the WF/PC camera,
which covered the strip in 28 fields.
The strip is a 140 square arcminute region
located at galactic longitude 96.35°,
latitude +60.25°.
The strip is rectangular, but with edges not aligned
with equatorial coordinates (angled more-or-less 45 degrees,
I believe aligned with galactic coordinates).
It has been used for further surveys, and an extended version termed
the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) is still commonly used.
