AST-0436681GonzalezThe FLoridA Multi-object Imaging Near-Infrared Grism Observational Spectrometer (FLAMINGOS) is an instrument built by the University of Florida and operated at various sites, including telescopes at the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), part of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO). The FLAMINGOS Extragalactic Survey is a deep near infrared imaging study located within the regions of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS). This project will yield the first large sample of galaxy clusters at redshifts beyond one. The properties of this cluster population will enable a precision constraint on the mean matter density of the Universe, and on the cosmological constant. All of the data will be made public.Continued support of FLAMINGOS will benefit all users of the instrument. Because of the NDWFS, those regions of the sky will soon have available unprecedented multi-wavelength coverage, from radio to X-rays, of which this survey is a vital part. In addition to the specific cosmological goals of this project, the survey will therefore assist a wide range of other science, on topics ranging from brown dwarves to active galactic nuclei.

佛罗里达多目标成像近红外光栅观测光谱仪（FLAMINGOS）是由佛罗里达大学建造的仪器，在不同的地点运行，包括基特峰国家天文台（KPNO）的望远镜，它是国家光学天文台（NOAO）的一部分。FLAMINGOS星系外巡天是一项深近红外成像研究，位于NOAO深宽视场巡天（NDWFS）区域内。这个项目将产生第一个红移超过1的星系团的大样本。这个星系团人口的性质将使宇宙的平均物质密度和宇宙常数的精确约束成为可能。所有的数据都将被公开。继续支持FLAMINGOS将使该仪器的所有用户受益。由于NDWFS，这些天空区域将很快获得前所未有的多波长覆盖，从射电到x射线，这次调查是其中至关重要的一部分。除了这个项目的具体宇宙学目标之外，这项调查还将有助于广泛的其他科学研究，涉及的主题从褐矮星到活动星系核。
