Red-Sequence Cluster Survey

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a ~100{deg}^2^, two-filter imaging survey in the R_C_ and z' filters, designed primarily to locate and characterize galaxy clusters to redshifts as high as z=1.4.

Description

This paper provides a detailed description of the survey strategy and execution, including a thorough discussion of the photometric and astrometric calibration of the survey data. These catalogs, representing about 10% of the total survey and comprising a total of 429 candidate clusters and groups, contain a total of 67 cluster candidates at a photometric redshift of 0.9<z<1.4, down to the chosen significance threshold of 3.29{sigma}.
