The National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) provided four nights of Director's Discretionary time for an R-band survey with the MOSAIC camera on the Kitt Peak 4m telescope. The data were obtained in May 2000. We measure a 5-sigma sensitivity in a 2 arcsecond aperture of R=25.5. Approximately 30 pointings with MOSAIC were obtained covering the entire extragalactic First Look Survey region. The MOSAIC pointings are covering the main survey field centered at 1718+5930 and outlined in figure 1. In addition, pointings in the ELAIS N1 field were also obtained as this was originally planned to be part of the extragalactic FLS. This region is now part of the SWIRE Legacy program. The pointings obtained are outlined in figure 2.

Retrieve Data

Images and catalogs can be retrieved from the Spitzer Science Center and will soon also be available from the NOAO Science Archive.

Notes

If you publish results based on the FLS R-band survey, please use this paper reference and acknowledgment.

We thank the NOAO and KPNO staff that support the KPNO Mayall 4m Telescope, the MOSAIC-1 imager, and IRAF, the software used for the processing of the images. The National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) is the national center for ground-based nighttime astronomy in the United States and is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), Inc. under cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation.
