The Deep Optical Imaging of the Extended Groth Strip
Abstract
We present u'g'R optical images taken with the MMT/Megacam and the Subaru/Suprime of the Extended Groth Strip survey. The total survey covers an area of about 1 degree2, including four sub-fields and is optimized for the study of galaxies at z3. Our methods for photometric calibration in AB magnitudes, the limiting magnitude and the galaxy number count are described. A sample of 1642 photometrically selected candidate LBGs to an apparent RAB magnitude limit of 25.0 is present. The average sky surface density of our LBGs sample is 1.0 arcmin-2, slightly higher than the previous finding.
