the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey

(SXDS)

2005/01/26

The Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS) is a major new multi-wavelength survey of a ~1.3 square degree region of sky. The SXDS optical imagery represents an unprecedented combination of depth and area coverage, and will be combined with suitably deep images at other wavelengths to provide an accurate census of the contents of the Universe without suffering from the biasing effects of large-scale structure.

• Introduction to the SXDS
• Who is involved in the SXDS?
• What are the scientific aims of the SXDS?
• Where in the sky is the SXDS located?
• Survey depth and area


• Detailed scientific justification
• Photometric redshifts
• Nature of the X-ray population
• Structure formation and clustering evolution
• Quasar evolution and selection bias
• Extremely Red Objects


• Complementary multiwavelength data
• X-ray imaging with XMM-Newton
• Infrared imaging with UKIRT and SIRTF
• Submm imaging with the JCMT and BLAST
• Radio imaging with the VLA

What's New? Optical Imaging Data (DR1) are released (December 2007)
