Abstract
We present optical images taken with the MMT/Megacam and the Subaru/Suprime of the Extended Groth Strip survey. The total survey covers an area of about degree, including four sub-fields and is optimized for the study of galaxies at . Our methods for photometric calibration in AB magnitudes, the limiting magnitude and the galaxy number count are described. A sample of 1642 photometrically selected candidate LBGs to an apparent magnitude limit of 25.0 is present. The average sky surface density of our LBGs sample is 1.0 arcmin, slightly higher than the previous finding.
