Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | THE MESSENGER | Number: | 160 | First Page: | 13 | Abstract: | OmegaWINGS is a photometric and spectroscopic survey of 46 nearby galaxy clusters. The photometric part is based on OmegaCAM imaging with the VLT Survey Telescope; the field of view of one square degree covers the whole virial region, extending up to the infall regions of each OmegaWINGS cluster. The ongoing spectroscopic survey will provide about 30 000 spectra with AAOmega on the Australian Astronomical Telescope. OmegaWINGS will provide an extremely detailed and complete view of galaxy populations in clusters. The final data products will include, for each galaxy detected in the target clusters, aperture and surface photometry, morphological type and a reliable characterisation of the stellar populations. The survey will therefore be a unique tool to study the formation and evolution of galaxies in clusters and the interactions of galaxies with the environment. <P /> | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/23097 | URL: | http://www.eso.org/sci/publications/messenger/toc.html?v=160&m=Jun&y=15 | ISSN: | 0722-6691 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015Msngr.160...13G | Fulltext: | open |
