General Description

• PRE-IMAGING for 082.A-0922(A) - CFHTLS Wide field W2
  
  Covering 170 square degrees in three patches of 49 to 72 square degrees through
   
  the whole filter set (u*, g', r', i', z') down to i'=24.5, this survey will allow
   
  the study of the large scale structures and matter distribution in the universe
   
  through weak lensing and galaxy distribution, as well as the study of clusters of
   
  galaxies through morphology and photometric properties of galaxies.
  
  This project will focus on the calibration of the photometric redshift in 12 fields
  of the patch W2 (7deg x 7deg).
  
  Center of patch W2:
  08:54:00 -04:15:00 (RA(2000)h:m:s and DEC(2000)d:m:s).
