In this paper, we describe the optical imaging data processing pipeline developed for Subaru Telescope's Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) instrument. The HSC Pipeline builds on prototype being by Large Synoptic Survey Data Management system, adding customizations HSC, large-scale capabilities, and novel algorithms that have since been reincorporated into LSST codebase. While designed primarily to reduce Strategic Program (SSP) data, it is also recommended reducing general-observer data. includes high...

Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) is an 870 Mega pixel prime focus camera for the 8.2 m Subaru telescope. The wide field corrector delivers sharp image of 0.25 arc-sec FWHM in r-band over entire 1.5 degree (in diameter) view. collimation with respect to optical axis primary mirror realized by hexapod actuators whose mechanical accuracy few microns. As a result, we expect have seeing limited most time. Expected median 0.67 i-band. sensor p-ch fully depleted CCD 200 micron thickness (2048 x 4096 15 μm...

We report the discovery of 854 ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in Coma cluster using deep R band images, with partial B, i, and Hα coverage, obtained Subaru telescope. Many them (332) are Milky Way (MW) sized very large effective radii . This study was motivated by recent 47 UDGs Dokkum et al.; our suggests after accounting for smaller field (; about one-half Dragonfly). The new show a distribution concentrated around center, strongly suggesting that great majority (likely longtime) members....

Low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) are important for understanding galaxy evolution and cosmological models. The upcoming large-scale surveys expected to uncover a large number of LSBGs, requiring accurate automated or machine learning-based methods their detection. We study the scope transfer learning identification LSBGs. use transformer models divided into two categories: LSBG Detection Transformer (LSBG DETR) Vision ViT), trained on Dark Energy Survey (DES) data, identify LSBGs from...

Low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) are important for understanding galaxy evolution and cosmological models. Nevertheless, the physical properties of these objects remain unknown, as even detection LSBGs can be challenging.

We derived the luminosity function (LF) of dwarf galaxies in Coma Cluster down to MR = −10 at three fields located center, intermediate, and outskirt cluster. The LF (−19 < −10) shows no significant differences among fields. It a clear dip ∼ −13 is composed two distinct components different slopes; bright component with −19 has flatter slope than faint which steep slope. −13) consists mostly red extended including few blue whose colors are typical late-type galaxies. On other hand, (−13...

Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) is the optical and near-infrared wide-field camera equipped on Subaru Telescope. Its huge field of view (1.5 degree diameter) with 104 CCDs large mirror (8.2m) telescope will make us to study Universe more efficiently. The analysis pipeline for HSC data produces processed images, object catalogs each CCD stacked images. For survey in next 5 years, number rows catalog table reach at least x 10<sup>9</sup>. We show outline database systems store those data.

We present the galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) of four Hickson Compact Groups using image data from Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam. A distinct dip appeared in faint ends all LFs at Mg ∼ −12. similar was observed clusters Coma and Centaurus. However, Virgo, Hydra, field had flatter slopes no dips. As relative velocities among galaxies are lower compact groups than clusters, effect galaxy–galaxy interactions would be more significant groups. The −12 may imply that frequent affect evolution...
