Scientific paper

UKIDSS is the next generation nearinfrared JHK sky survey, the successor to 2MASS. UKIDSS will use the UKIRT wide field camera WFCAM, currently under construction in Edinburgh and scheduled for commissioning at the end of 2003. The camera uses four Rockwell Hawaii II 2048×2048 HgCdTe arrays (Figs 1 and 5). When commissioned WFCAM will have the widest field of view of any near-infrared camera in the world, capturing a solid angle of 0.21 square degrees in a single exposure. In addition to the wide field, the survey will provide a wealth of information revealed in the near-infrared because of the lower extinction.
