Optically Selected GRB Afterglows, a Real Time Analysis System at the CFHT
Frederic Malacrino, Jean-Luc Atteia, Michel Boer +4
We attempt to detect optical GRB afterglows on images taken by the Canada France Hawaii Telescope for the Very Wide survey, component of the Legacy Survey. To do so, a Real Time An…
Discovery of a z = 6.17 galaxy from CFHT and VLT observations
J. -G. Cuby, O. Le Fevre, H. McCracken +3
We report the discovery of a galaxy at a redshift z = 6.17 identified from deep narrow band imaging and spectroscopic follow-up in one of the CFHT-VIRMOS deep survey fields at 0226…
The z<=0.1 Surface Brightness Distribution
K. O'Neil, S. Andreon, J. -C. Cuillandre
The surface brightness distribution (SBD) function describes the number density of galaxies as measured against their central surface brightness. Because detecting galaxies with lo…
Dissecting the luminosity function of the Coma cluster of galaxies using CFHT wide field images
S. Andreon, J. -C. Cuillandre
[Abridged] We determined the luminosity function (LF) of the Coma cluster galaxies selected by luminosity, and the LF bi-variate in central brightness. The Coma cluster and control…
The CFHT Open Star Cluster Survey II -- Deep CCD Photometry of the Old Open Star Cluster NGC 6819
Jasonjot Singh Kalirai, Harvey B. Richer, Gregory G. Fahlman +6
We present analysis of deep CCD photometry for the very rich, old open star cluster NGC 6819. These CFH12K data results represent the first of nineteen open star clusters which wer…
The CFHT Open Star Cluster Survey I -- Cluster Selection and Data Reduction
Jasonjot Singh Kalirai, Harvey B. Richer, Gregory G. Fahlman +6
We present this paper in conjuction with the following as the first results in the CFHT Open Star Cluster Survey. This survey is a large BVR imaging data set of 19 open star cluste…
A wide-field spectroscopic survey of the cluster of galaxies Cl0024+1654: I. The catalogue
Oliver Czoske, Jean-Paul Kneib, Genevieve Soucail +3
We present the catalogue of a wide-field CFHT/WHT spectroscopic survey of the lensing cluster Cl0024+1654 at z=0.395. This catalogue contains 618 new spectra, of which 581 have ide…
Gas, Dust, and Young Stars in the Outer Disk of M 31
Jean-Charles Cuillandre, James Lequeux, Ronald J. Allen +2
Using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope we have obtained deep high-resolution CCD images in V and I of a 28'x28' field in the outer disk of M 31 at ~ 116' from the center along th…
Terapixel Surveys for Cosmic Shear
Y. Mellier, L. van Waerbeke, M. Radovich +14
The recent detections of cosmic shear signal announced by several groups have demonstrated the feasibility of this challenging program and convinced astro- nomers of its potential…
Detection of correlated galaxy ellipticities on CFHT data: first evidence for gravitational lensing by large-scale structures
L. Van Waerbeke, Y. Mellier, T. Erben +10
We report the detection of a significant (5.5 sigma) excess of correlations between galaxy ellipticities at scales ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 arc-minutes. This detection of a gravitat…
V- and I-band observations of the halo of NGC 5907
J. Lequeux, B. Fort, M. Dantel-Fort Fort +2
Using long exposures taken in the V and I bands with a 40964096 pixel CCD array at the prime focus of the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope, we have confirmed the discovery by…
A Proto-Galaxy Candidate at z=2.7 Discovered by Its Young Stellar Population
H. K. C. Yee, E. Ellingson, J. Bechtold +2
A protogalaxy candidate at z=2.72 has been discovered serendipitously by the CNOC cluster redshift survey. The candidate is an extremely luminous (V=20.5 mag, absolute mag -26) and…
