Descriptions
Abstract: KiDS is an ESO public survey carried out with the VLT Survey Telescope and OmegaCAM camera that has imaged 1350 square degrees in four filters (u, g, r, i), in single epochs per filter. KiDS was designed as a weak lensing shear tomography survey, and its core science drivers are mapping of the large-scale matter distribution in the universe and constraining the equation-of-state of Dark Energy. Additional science cases are manifold and range from galaxy evolution to Milky Way structure, and from detection of white dwarfs to high-redshift quasars.
Other: This is a dynamic dataset; it is growing as new data is added. The DOI refers to the newest available dataset.
