The CIDA Schmidt Objective-prism Survey: Fields in Taurus-Auriga and Ophiucus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We have begun a deep objective prism Hα survey of starforming regions using the CIDA 1 m Schmidt Camera. We report here on the performance of the telescope for this kind of work, based on the study of selected areas in the Taurus-Auriga molecular clouds and the Ophiucus molecular clouds. Up to now seven plates taken in Taurus-Auriga have been visually scanned in a search for pre-main sequence candidates, with a coverage of about 120 square degrees over the whole complex, plus one plate taken in Ophiucus covering the entire cloud (≈ 18 square degrees).
