NAOC and Steward Observatory of UA

The South Galactic Cap U-band Sky Survey with Bok

2.3m Telescope

Fan Zhou (NAOC)

Why do we need the survey?

1. To supply the input source catalogue for LAMOST; 2. To classify of the stars, galaxies, AGN and quasars in the south

Galactic cap region with the color-color diagram;3. To detect the red shift z<3 quasar candidates combining the

photometry in other bands;4. To estimate the red shift of the galaxies with PhotoZ combining the

photometry in other bands;5. To find out some starburst galaxies candidates;6. It can help us estimate the metallicity of the stellar populations in the

galaxies;7. To identify the type of the stars in the color-color diagram combining

the photometry in other bands, which can help us the control the completeness of the star type for the LAMOST observations;

8. It can be helpful for the flux calibration of the LAMOST spectra.

The weather statistics of Bok

The seeing distributions of Bok

• If we have 55 nights, then

Exp Time of Each Field=(55 nights ×10 hours / nights ×65% useful night )/ 3700deg^2=5.80 min/deg^2

• If we have 80 nights, then

Exp Time of Each Field=(80 nights ×10 hours / nights ×65% useful night )/3700deg^2=8.43 min/deg^2
