南银河帽u波段巡天（SCUSS）成立于2009年，旨在为大天区多目标光纤光谱望远镜（LAMOST）项目的目标选择提供光度输入目录。 SCUSS是中国科学院国家天文台和亚利桑那大学斯图尔德天文台之间的国际合作项目，使用基特峰的90英寸（2.3m）博克望远镜。该望远镜配备了主焦相机，由四片4096×4096 CCD拼接而成，视场角约为1deg2。 2009年至2013年，SCUSS对u波段南银河帽约5000°视场进行了巡天，包括银河反中心区和SDSS-IV扩展成像区。 SCUSS 的极限星等深度超过 23 星等（信噪比为 5）。在本文中，我们简要描述了该项目的目标、观测方法和数据缩减，并介绍了与 SCUSS 项目相关的当前和潜在的科学活动。
The South Galactic Cap u-band Sky Survey (SCUSS) was established in 2009 in order to provide a photometric input catalog for target selection of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) project. SCUSS is an international cooperative project between National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona, using the 90 inch (2.3m) Bok telescope on Kitt Peak. The telescope is equipped with a prime focus camera that is composed of a mosaic of four 4096 × 4096 CCDs and has a field of view of about 1 deg2. From 2009 to 2013, SCUSS performed a sky survey of an approximately 5000 deg2 field of the South Galactic Cap in u band, including the Galactic anticenter area and the SDSS-IV extended imaging area. The limiting magnitude of SCUSS is deeper than 23 mag (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 5). In this paper, we briefly describe the goals of this project, method of observations and data reduction, and we also introduce current and potential scientific activities related to the SCUSS project.
