The SCUBA2 Cosmology Survey

SCUBA2 is the successor to SCUBA, using 'CCD-like' technology with over 10,000 pixels in two arrays to observe at both 450 and 850μm with a field of view of ∼7x7 arcminutes at both wavelengths - 16 times the area of SCUBA, leading to a mapping speed of 100 times greater than SCUBA at both wavelengths.
The two year plan is to map 20 sq. degrees at 850μm to 0.7mJy 1σ in 8 fields, and to map 0.6 sq. degrees at 450μm to 0.5mJy 1σ with simultaneous ultradeep 850μm mapping to 0.15mJy 1σ over 6 fields.

The five year plan is to map 50 sq. degrees at 850μm to 0.7mJy 1σ and to map 1.5 sq. degrees at 450μm to 0.5mJy 1σ with simultanous ultradeep 850μm mapping to 0.15mJy 1σ.

The details of the fields and the science case is available on the SCUBA2 cosomology survey webpage. The SCUBA2 Cosmology Survey is part of the JCMT Legacy Survey Projects.
