WINGS: a Wide-field Imaging Nearby Galaxy clusters Survey

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present a two-band, wide-field imaging survey of an X-ray selected sample of 78 clusters in the redshift range z=0.03-0.07. The aim of the project is to provide the astronomical community with a complete set of homogeneous, CCD-based, surface photometry and morphological data of the nearby cluster galaxies located within 1.5Mpc from the cluster center.
