Description
A photometric and redshift catalog of galaxies in the field of two rich galaxy clusters, MS 1621.5+2640 (z=0.4275) and MS 0302.7+1658 (z=0.4245), is presented as part of the Canadian Network for Observation Cosmology (CNOC) Cluster Redshift Survey carried out at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) using the MOS imaging multiobject spectrograph. The imaging and spectroscopic observations cover strips cantered on each cluster of approximately 23.3'x9.0', and 7.9'x9.0', for MS 1621.5+2640 and MS 0302.7+1658, respectively. Redshifts for 371 galaxies, primarily ranging in magnitude from r=20 to 22, were obtained. The data set is also presented graphically in several forms. The magnitude, color, and geometric selection functions for the redshift sample are presented and discussed.
