Scientific paper

We propose a deep wide-field optical and NIR survey of the Lockman Hole, a region which has the lowest HI column density and the lowest far infrared cirrus emission in the sky. This region has been extensively studied by ISO, and will be the target of coordinated guaranteed time observations with Chandra, XMM, and SIRTF. We plan to study this field using the combined data from the X-ray to infrared surveys. Such a deep wide-field multi-wavelength study will be unique and extremely powerful in studying extragalactic astrophysics. The proposed ground-based visible and NIR surveys are an essential part of this project. The goals of the ground-based surveys are to optically identify clusters detected in ROSAT, to study galaxy populations at intermediate redshifts with multi-color samples, and to provide the optical counterparts to X- ray and IR selected AGN and starburst galaxies at high redshifts
