Near - Infrared Wide - Field Imaging
We have constructed a near-infrared imaging camera which is attached to the prime focus of 105cm Schmidt telescope at Kiso Observatory. The camera is equipped with a 10401040 PtSi CSD array developed by Mitsubishi Electric Co. The combination of Kiso Schmidt and the array gives a wide eld of view of 18:4 0 18:4 0 with a reasonable spatial resolution of 1:06"=pixel. The system performances of th...
متن کاملGalaxy number counts - IV . surveying the Herschel deep field in the near - infrared
We present results from two new near-infrared imaging surveys. One survey covers 47.2 arcmin to K(3σ) = 20m whilst a second, deeper catalogue covers a sub-area of 1.8 arcmin to K(3σ) = 22.75m. Over the entire area we have extremely deep optical photometry in four bandpasses (UBRI), allowing us to track the colour evolution of galaxies to very faint magnitude limits. Our K− band number counts ar...
متن کاملThe Near - Infrared Galaxy Counts Anomaly : Local Underdensity or Strong Evolution ?
We analyze bright-end (K = 10 − 17) galaxy counts from a number of near-infrared galaxy surveys. All studies available as of mid-1997, considered individually or collectively, show that the observed near-infrared galaxy number counts at low magnitudes are inconsistent with a simple no-evolution model. We examine evolutionary effects and a local underdensity model as possible causes of this effe...
متن کاملA wide - field K – band survey – I . Galaxy counts in B , V , I and
We present bright galaxy number counts measured with linear detectors in the B, V , I, and K bands in two fields covering nearly 10 square degrees. All of our measurements are consistent with passive evolution models, and do not confirm the steep slope measured in other surveys at bright magnitudes. Throughout the range 16 < B < 19, our B−band counts are consistent with the “high normalization”...
متن کاملAstronomy and Astrophysics Early Galaxy Evolution from Deep Wide Field Star Counts I. the Spheroid Density Law and Mass Function
As part of a global analysis of deep star counts to constrain scenarii of galaxy formation and evolution, we investigate possible links between the galactic spheroid and the dark matter halo. A wide set of deep star counts at high and intermediate galactic latitudes is used to determine the large scale density law of the spheroid. Assuming a power density law, the exponent, flattening, local de...
