Scientific paper

The Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) is the project building a new prime-focus camera for the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope with field-of-view of about 1.8 square degrees, about factor 10 larger than that of the current Suprime-Cam camera. We are planning to carry out a wide-field multi-passband imaging survey with the HSC covering an area of ~2000 square degrees and reaching to a depth of ilim~26.2 (5σ for a point source). Thanks to the unique wide-field capabilities and excellent image quality of the Subaru Telescope the HSC wide-field survey will allow high-precision measurements of weak lensing distortions of distant galaxy images caused by foreground large-scale structures, which can be used to constrain cosmological parameters including the nature of dark energy as well as probe the properties of collision-less dark matter. Here I briefly describe the HSC project and the major scientific goals we can achieve with the planned HSC wide-field survey.
