The AAOmega Evolution of Galactic Structure (AEGIS) survey (P.I. Keller) was a moderate scale (45 nights) spectroscopic survey carried out with the AAOmega multi-fiber spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The input catalogue for the spectroscopic observations was derived from photometry of approximately 200 two-degree diameter fields obtained during the commissioning of the SkyMapper survey. The data consists of medium-resolution (R ~ 2,000) spectroscopy for approximately 70,000 thick disk and halo stars spanning a survey footprint of 4,900 square degrees. We plan to use the AEGIS data to further characterize the properties of the disk and halo systems and better constrain the assembly history of the Galaxy based on the behavior of the CEMP-no and CEMP-s stars in the sample.
