Core Community Survey · High Latitude Wide Area Survey
Wide Tier
Dark energy, via weak lensing and galaxy clustering
What this is
Single-band imaging over the largest area. Breadth over depth: the sheer number of galaxies is what the lensing measurement needs.
Four nested tiers over more than a tenth of the sky. Wide tiers supply the galaxy shapes weak lensing needs; deep tiers calibrate them and reach the earliest galaxies.
Bands
Optical elements this tier observes through
F1581.577 µmH-band; a core survey filter.
