A wide - field K – band survey – I . Galaxy counts in B , V , I and
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present bright galaxy number counts measured with linear detectors in the B, V , I, and K bands in two fields covering nearly 10 square degrees. All of our measurements are consistent with passive evolution models, and do not confirm the steep slope measured in other surveys at bright magnitudes. Throughout the range 16 < B < 19, our B−band counts are consistent with the “high normalization” models proposed to reduce the faint blue galaxy problem. Our K−band counts agree with previous measurements, and have reached a fair sample of the universe in the magnitude range where evolution and K-corrections are well understood.

Astronomy and Astrophysics a Wide Field Survey at the Northern Ecliptic Pole I: Number Counts and Angular Correlation Functions in K
We present the results from a multi colour survey performed at the Northern Ecliptic Pole (NEP). The survey is designed to identify the counterparts of faint sources from the ROSAT All Sky Survey and the IRAS survey and to study their optical/near-infrared properties. We observed the central square degree around the NEP in the optical bands B J and R and in the near-infrared band K. A shallower...

We present the results of a wide-field K-selected galaxy survey with complementary optical I-and B-band imaging in six fields with a total coverage of 9.8 square degrees. The observations were carried out on the UH 0.6m and the UH 2.2m telescopes. The purpose of this survey is to study the properties of the local galaxies and explore the evolution of K-selected galaxies at low redshifts. Star-g...

We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...

We present results from a large area (552 ′) imaging K-band survey of faint objects. The survey is a high galactic latitude blank-field sample to a 5σ limit of K ≃ 17.3. The methods for constructing the infrared survey are described, including flatfielding, astrometry, mosaicing and photometry. Also described are optical CCD observations which cover the survey to provide optical-infrared colour...
