| Abstract | We have conducted a deep multicolor imaging survey of 0.2 deg2 centered on the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N). We shall refer to this region as the Hawaii HDF-N. Deep data were collected in U, B, V, R, I, and z' bands over the central 0.2 deg2 and in HK' over a smaller region covering the Chandra Deep Field North. The data were reduced to have accurate relative photometry and astrometry across the entire field to facilitate photometric redshifts and spectroscopic follow-up. We have compiled a catalog of 48,858 objects in the central 0.2 deg2 detected at 5 σ significance in a 3" aperture in either R or z' band. Number counts and color-magnitude diagrams are presented and shown to be consistent with previous observations. Using color selection we have measured the density of objects at 35.5 using the Lyman break technique suffer from more contamination by low-redshift objects than suggested by previous studies. Based in part on data collected at Subaru Telescope, which is operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. |
