SUMMARY:Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) project for the SUBARU telescope
DESCRIPTION:Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) project for the SUBARU telescope\nProf.
  Hiroshi Karoji\n\nIn 2006, NAOJ proposed to construct the Hyper Suprime-C
 am (HSC) as a second generation instrument for Subaru telescope. This is a
  very wide-field camera covering 1.5 degrees of sky at a time. The focal p
 lane area to be covered will be around 530mm. A total of 110 2kx4k CCD det
 ectors will be placed adjacent to each other in order to cover this large 
 field of view. The HSC will be a prime focus camera, and will enlarge the 
 current field of view (FOV) of Subaru, as provided by the first generation
  Suprime Cam, by a factor of 10. The HSC will be the largest CCD camera in
  the world, and will have a total performance, as measured by the product 
 of the telescope aperture area and the field of view, which will exceed th
 at of all other telescopes. Only the planned LSST will have a better perfo
 rmance, but that will be in a time frame of three or more years later than
  the HSC.\n\nThe main scientific goal of the HSC will be weak lensing stud
 ies over large areas of the sky. Approximately 1000 square degrees will be
  surveyed every year. Weak lensing distortions of background galaxies due 
 to the large scale structure, so called cosmic shear, will be examined. Fr
 om statistical properties of cosmic shear, the properties of dark energy w
 ill be constrained. Along with the weak lensing study, a large survey proj
 ect is planned to use more than 200 nights of HSC and Subaru to cover inte
 resting science topics with the large dataset.\n\n
