The INT Wide Field Imaging Survey ( WFS )
The 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope(INT) is currently being used to carry out a major multi-colour, multi-epoch, CCD based wide field survey over an area of ∼100deg 2. The survey parameters have been chosen to maximise scientific return over a wide range of scientific areas and to complement other surveys being carried out elsewhere. Unique aspects of the survey is that it concentrates on regions o...
متن کاملA Robotic Wide-Angle Hα Survey of the Southern Sky
We have completed a robotic wide-angle imaging survey of the southern sky (δ = +15 to −90) at 656.3 nm wavelength, the Hα emission line of hydrogen. Each image of the resulting Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas (SHASSA) covers an area of the sky 13 square at an angular resolution of approximately 0.8 arcminute, and reaches a sensitivity level of 2 rayleigh (1.2 × 10 erg cm s arcsec) per pixel, ...
متن کاملA Deep, Wide-Field Hα Survey of Nearby Clusters of Galaxies
We present a progress report on an ongoing Hα imaging survey of nearby clusters of galaxies. Four clusters have been surveyed to date: A1367, A1656, A347 and A569. A preliminary comparison of Hα luminosity functions obtained from our imaging survey with those from the prism survey reveals a significant level of incompleteness in the latter. This in turn is due to a combination of insensitivity ...
متن کاملWide - eld CCD imaging at CFHT : the MOCAM example
We describe a new 4096 4096 pixel CCD mosaic camera (MOCAM) available at the prime focus of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). The camera is a mosaic of four 2048 2048 Loral frontside-illuminated CCDs with 15 m pixels, providing a eld of view of 140 140 at a scale of 000 :21 pixel . MOCAM is equipped with B, V, R and I lters and has demonstrated image quality of 000 :5{000 :6 FWHM over ...
متن کاملMOA-cam3: a wide-field mosaic CCD camera for a gravitational microlensing survey in New Zealand
We have developed a wide-field mosaic CCD camera, MOA-cam3, mounted at the prime focus of the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) 1.8-m telescope. The camera consists of ten E2V CCD4482 chips, each having 2k×4k pixels, and covers a 2.2 deg field of view with a single exposure. The optical system is well optimized to realize uniform image quality over this wide field. The chips are c...
