Alternate access is provided to this survey data through the PI's site.
The Deeprange Survey: These data include 254 16' x 16' individual I band images from the KPNO 4m telescope using the T2KB Prime Focus Camera covering a 4° x 4° region of the sky: 10:01.4 < RA < 10:26.6 and +50:41 < Dec < +54:28 with 1.3" FWHM median seeing and a 24.1 5-sigma median photometric depth for point sources.
Alternate access is provided to this survey data through the PI's site.
Deep Lens Survey: Data holdings will ultimately include CTIO and KPNO deep mosaic images of 7 2X2 degree ``blank-sky'' fields, or 28 square degrees total. Each field will include 12,000s total integration times in B, V, and z' filters, and a 18,000s total integration in the R-band. Seeing in the R-band is typically slightly sub-arcsecond, while the other bands have seeing FWHM slightly greater than 1 arcsecond. Current holdings include 7 mosaic-sized ``subfields'' for which the full band coverage and integrations have been completed.

A Fundamental Plane Peculiar Velocity Survey of Rich Clusters within 200 h^-1 Mpc: The NOAO Fundamental Plane Survey (NFP) survey consists of a deep, homogeneous, all-sky spectroscopic and photometric study of 100 X-ray selected galaxy clusters within 200 h^-1 Mpc. Archive data comprises KPNO 0.9m Mosaic images of the clusters in the B and R-band filters. Multiple pointings exist for most clusters. The images have well-calibrated photometric zeropoints.
Alternate access is provided to this survey data through the PI's site.
Deep Imaging Survey of Nearby Star-Forming Clouds: Holdings include KPNO mosaic images of 8 Galactic star-forming regions and molecular clouds in H-alpha (11 images), [S II] (10 images) and I-band continuum images (2).
Alternate access is provided to this survey data through the PI's site.
Star Formation in H I Selected Galaxies: The Survey for Ionization in Neutral Gas Galaxies. SINGG is an H-alpha and R band CCD imaging survey of galaxies selected from the HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS; Meyer et al. 2004, MNRAS). Current holdings include 93x3 images from four runs on the CTIO 1.5m and comprises part of SINGG Release 1.0 (SR1.0).
Alternate access is provided to this survey data through the PI's site.
A Next Generation Microlensing Survey of the LMC: These data include repeated NOAO Mosaic II images of ~60 fields covering the bar and nearby areas of the Large Magellanic Cloud in the VR filter (bandpass approximately V+R) taken with the CTIO Blanco 4m telescope. The archived reduced data consists of individual amplifier images (16 images per single Mosaic image) which have been bias subtracted, flat-fielded, illumination corrected. The astrometric accuracy is tied to the UCAC1 catalog and is ~0.08" RMS in most fields.
Additional information is provided though the project's web site.
The w Project: Measuring the Equation of State of the Universe: These data include repeated imaging of ~22 selected fields of low galactic extinction in the V, R, and I filters with the NOAO Mosaic II imager on the CTIO Blanco 4m telescope. The archived reduced data consists of individual amplifier images (16 images per single Mosaic image) which have been bias subtracted, flat-fielded, illumination corrected, and fringe corrected (for I-band images). The astrometric accuracy is tied to the USNO A2.0 catalog. The images also have a roughly photometric zeropoint based on the USNO A2.0 catalog.
Additional information is provided through the project's web site.
Deep Ecliptic Survey: These data include ~500 new Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) discovered with well-understood and readily quantified biases.
Additional information is provided through the project's web site.
ChaMPlane: Measuring the Faint X-ray Binary and Stellar X-ray Content of the Galaxy: These data include the Chandra Multiwavelength Plane (ChaMPlane) Survey to identify a large sample of serendipitous x-ray sources located to arcsec precision in the deep (>~30 ksec) galactic fields (b <~ 10deg.) imaged by the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
Additional information is provided through the project's web site.
The First Look Survey: These data include 32 KPNO mosaic observations of the First Look Survey and ELAIS N1 fields.

FLAMEX Public Data Release DR1 (Bootes): The FLAMINGOS Extragalactic Survey (FLAMEX) is a deep, near-infrared imaging survey covering 7.1 square degrees within the NOAO Deep Wide-Feld Survey (NDWFS) regions. FLAMEX is the first such deep, wide-area survey to image in both the J and Ks filters, and is larger than any previous NIR surveys to comparable depth. This is a release of the FLAMEX survey images of the BOOTES field, the complete catalog for the BOOTES field can be obtained from the FLAMEX web site Public Data Release.
Additional information is provided through the project's web site.
zBootes : z-band Observations of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey Bootes Field: Optical imaging obtained for zBootes, a z-band survey of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey Bootes Field using the Steward 2.3m Bok telescope and the 90Prime imager. The zBootes imaging covers 7.62 of the NDWFS survey area and reaches a mean 50% completeness limit of 22.8 mag in the z-band.

Faint Sky Variability Survey (FSVS)

The Faint Sky Variability Survey (FSVS) provides a database for studying faint populations and their variability, spanning 16-24 mag across the optical regime using e B, V, and I filters with time-sampling obtained in the V band over tens of s to years. With a total areal coverage of 23 sq. degrees at moderate-to-high Galactic latitudes, the FSVS also provides a sample spanning relatively different Galactic populations. The FSVS was part of the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) Wide Field Survey. The INT is operated on the island of La Palma by the Isaac Newton Group the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias. In addition to the images available in the Archive, the FSVS Photometric and astrometric catalogs can be found on the Archive FTP site at FSVS Catalogs.
