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.
