Abstract:
    Detection and photometry of sources in the U_n_, G, {R}, and K_s_ bands
    in a 9x9 arcmin^2^ region of the sky, centered on the Hubble Deep
    Field, are described. The data permit construction of complete
    photometric catalogs to roughly U_n_=25, G=26, {R}=25.5, K_s_=20
    mag and significant photometric measurements somewhat fainter. Galaxy
    catalogs selected in the {R} and K_s_ bands are presented, containing
    3607 and 488 sources in field areas of 74.8 and 59.4arcmin^2^, to
    {R}=25.5 and K_s_=20mag.

Description:
    For visual data, U_n_(=0.53F300W+0.47F450W-0.29mag),
    G (=0.83F450W+0.18F606W-0.07mag), and
    {R} (=0.46F606W+0.54F814W-0.02mag) images taken with the COSMIC camera
    (Kells et al., 1998PASP..110.1487K) at the prime focus of the 200 inch
    Hale Telescope at the Palomar Observatory were used. The U_n_, G, and
    {R} filters are described in Steidel & Hamilton (1993AJ....105.2017S);
    briefly, they have effective wavelengths of 3570, 4830, and 6930 {AA},
    FWHM bandpasses of 700, 1200, and 1500{AA}, and zero-magnitude flux
    densities of roughly 1550, 3890, and 2750Jy. These magnitudes are Vega
    relative, not AB. For near-infrared data, an 8' diameter circular
    region centered on the HDF was imaged on 1997 March 19 - 21 using a
    K_s_ filter with a near-infrared camera (Jarrett et al., 1994) mounted
    at the prime focus of the 200 inch Hale Telescope. The K_s_ filter has
    an effective wavelength of 2.15 {mu}m, a FWHM bandpass of 0.3 {mu}m,
    and a zero-magnitude flux density of roughly 708Jy.
