Description:
The VHS will image the entire ~20 000 square degrees of the Southern Sky, with the exception of the areas already covered by the VIKING and VVV surveys, in J and Ks. The resulting data will be about 4 magnitudes deeper than 2MASS and DENIS. The 5000 square degrees covered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES), another imaging survey scheduled to begin in 2010 at the CTIO 4 metre Blanco telescope, will also be observed in H-band. The area around both of the Galactic Caps will be observed in Y- and H- band as well to be combined with the data from the VST ATLAS survey. The main science drivers of the VHS include: examining low mass and nearby stars, studying the merger history of the Galaxy, measuring the properties of Dark Energy through the examination of large-scale structure to a redshift of ~1, and searches for high redshift quasars.

VIDEO DR5 - VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations survey

WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
Description:
The VIDEO survey is a 30 sq. degree, Z,Y,J,H,K survey that is specifically designed to enable exploration of the main issues in observational cosmology. It allows galaxy and cluster/structure evolution to be traced as a function of both epoch and environment from the present day out to z=4 and AGN/QSO evolution up to and into the epoch of reionization at z > 6. The multi-band nature of the survey ensures many key science drivers can be tackled using the survey alone, without recourse to data from other wavebands.

VIKING - VISTA Kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy survey Data Release 4

VIKING DR4

Publisher:
WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
Description:
The VIKING survey is the VISTA counterpart to the VST KIDS survey. The KIDS survey will cover 1500 deg^2 in u,g,r,i divided in two stripes (NGP, centred on equator ; SGP, centred on Dec = -30). The matching VISTA survey will cover (almost) all of these stripes in Z,Y,J,H, Ks with ~ 400s exposures per band.
