چکیده
Figure 1. A comparison in area and depth between current major surveys and the FSVS. Adapted from the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) Deep Wide-Field Survey Web pages (see www. noao.edu/noao/noaodeep/): SDSS, Sloan Digital Sky Survey (York et al. 2000); EIS (deep), ESO Imaging Survey (Deep) (Nonino et al. 1999); Deeprange, (Postman et al. 1998); INT-WAS, INT Wide Angle Survey (McMahon et al. 2001); HDF, Hubble Deep Field (Williams et al. 1996); NOAO, NOAO Deep-Wide Survey (Jannuzi & Dey 1999); CFRS, Canada France Redshift Survey (Lilly et al. 1995); CADIS, Calar Alto Deep Imaging Survey (Hippelein et al. 1998); CFDF,Canadian French Deep Fields (Brodwin, Lilly & Crampton 1999); LDSS, Low Dispersion Survey Spectrograph (Glazebrook et al. 1995); OGLE Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (Udalski et al. 1992). Note that most of these surveys have very limited or no variability information. The range in depth for the FSVS corresponds to using each individual image (as in the variability study) or the sum images. (From Groot et al. 2003) Wide-Field Survey Reveals the Variable Sky

An All-Sky Survey for the Detection of Transiting Extrasolar Planets and for Permanent Variable Star Tracking
An overview is given of the Permanent All Sky Survey (PASS) project. The primary goal of PASS is the detection of all transiting giant planets in the entire sky, complete for stellar systems of magnitudes ≈ 5.5 – 10.5. Since the sample stars are fairly bright and relatively close, planets detected by PASS would be ideally suited for any follow-up study with groundor space-based instrumentation....
متن کاملThe Faint Sky Variability Survey I : An Overview
The Faint Sky Variability Survey is aimed at finding variable objects in the brightness range between 17th and 25th magnitude on timescales between tens of minutes and years with photometric precisions ranging from 3 millimagnitudes for the brightest to 0.2 magnitudes for the faintest objects. An area of at least 50 square degrees, located at mid-galactic latitudes, will be covered using the Wi...
متن کاملThe Faint Sky Variability Survey I: Goals and Data reduction process
The Faint Sky Variability Survey is aimed at finding photometric and/or astrometric variable objects in the brightness range between ∼16th and ∼24th magnitude on timescales between tens of minutes and years with photometric precisions ranging from 3 millimagnitudes for the brightest to 0.2 magnitudes for the faintest objects. An area of ∼23 square degrees, located at mid and high Galactic latit...
متن کاملSUMSS: A Wide-Field Radio Imaging Survey of the Southern Sky. II. The Source Catalogue
This paper is the second in a series describing the Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS) being carried out at 843MHz with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST). The survey will consist of ∼ 590 4.3 × 4.3 mosaic images with 45×45cosec|δ| resolution, and a source catalogue. In this paper we describe the initial release (version 1.0) of the source catalogue consisting of 107...
متن کاملThe 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...
