Description
The WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS) is a wide-field and multiwavelength survey of 76 galaxy clusters in the local Universe. The sample consists of all clusters at 0.04<z<0.07 in both hemispheres at Galactic latitude |b|>20 selected from the ROSAT X-ray-Brightest Abell-type Cluster Sample, the Brightest Cluster Sample, and its extension. The original WINGS survey is based on B and V imaging for the 76 clusters over a 34 by 34 arcminute field of view taken with the Wide Field Cameras on the INT and the 2.2m MPG/ESO telescopes. With the aim to cover the virial region and extend out into the infall region, we have obtained GTO OmegaCAM imaging in the B, and V bands over 1 by 1 degree for 45 fields covering 46 WINGS clusters. We present the Johnson B- and V-band OmegaCAM photometry of 46 WINGS clusters. With a median seeing of 1 arcsecond in both B- and V-bands, our 25-minutes exposures in each band typically reach the 50% completeness level at V=23.1mag.
