The Hyper Suprime-Cam SSP survey: overview and survey design
H Aihara, N Arimoto, R Armstrong…�- Publications of the�…, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) is a wide-field imaging camera on the prime focus of
the 8.2-m Subaru telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. A team of scientists from
Japan, Taiwan, and Princeton University is using HSC to carry out a 300-night multi-band
imaging survey of the high-latitude sky. The survey includes three layers: the Wide layer will
cover 1400 deg2 in five broad bands (grizy), with a 5 σ point-source depth of r≈ 26. The
Deep layer covers a total of 26 deg2 in four fields, going roughly a magnitude fainter, while�…

First data release of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru strategic program
H Aihara, R Armstrong, S Bickerton…�- Publications of the�…, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Abstract The Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) is a three-layered
imaging survey aimed at addressing some of the most important outstanding questions in
astronomy today, including the nature of dark matter and dark energy. The survey has been
awarded 300 nights of observing time at the Subaru Telescope, and it started in 2014 March.
This paper presents the first public data release of HSC-SSP. This release includes data
taken in the first 1.7 yr of observations (61.5 nights), and each of the Wide, Deep, and�…

Hyper Suprime-Cam: System design and verification of image quality
S Miyazaki, Y Komiyama, S Kawanomoto…�- Publications of the�…, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Abstract The Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) is an 870 megapixel prime focus optical imaging
camera for the 8.2 m Subaru telescope. The wide-field corrector delivers sharp images of 0 2
(FWHM) in the HSC-i band over the entire 1 5 diameter field of view. The collimation of the
camera with respect to the optical axis of the primary mirror is done with hexapod actuators,
the mechanical accuracy of which is a few microns. Analysis of the remaining wavefront
error in off-focus stellar images reveals that the collimation of the optical components meets�…

The hyper suprime-cam software pipeline
J Bosch, R Armstrong, S Bickerton…�- Publications of the�…, 2018 - academic.oup.com
In this paper, we describe the optical imaging data processing pipeline developed for the
Subaru Telescope's Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) instrument. The HSC Pipeline builds on the
prototype pipeline being developed by the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope's Data
Management system, adding customizations for HSC, large-scale processing capabilities,
and novel algorithms that have since been reincorporated into the LSST codebase. While
designed primarily to reduce HSC Subaru Strategic Program (SSP) data, it is also the�…
