The Hawaii Two-0 Survey (H20) is a 20 deg2 deep Subaru Hyper-SuprimeCam imaging & Keck DEIMOS spectroscopic survey of the two primary Euclid Deep Calibration Fields (NEP and EDFF).

Euclid Launch

The European Space Agency Euclid Mission expected to launch as early as July, 2023.

Catalogue Release

The first H20 data catalogue release planned for Fall, 2022.

Subaru

Hyper Suprime-Cam

Subaru Telescope is the 8.2-meter (320 in) flagship telescope of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.

Keck

DEIMOS/MOSFIRE

The twin 10-meter Keck Observatory telescopes are among the world’s most scientifically productive optical and infrared telescopes.

CFHT

MegaCam

The CFH Telescope is a 3.2-meter optical/infrared telescope that is a joint facility of Canada, France, and Hawaii.

Science Goals

Galaxy Evolution

Probe the assembly of massive galaxies by tracing the evolution of their stellar mass function with >500,000 galaxies at 3 < z < 6 and including several thousand at z > 6.

Stellar Mass Functions

Link the stellar mass of galaxies to their dark matter halos via clustering, for testing of cosmological models.

Dark Energy

Constrain the properties of dark energy using the non-linear power spectrum at high-redshift.

Galaxy Formation

Identify the earliest sites of galaxy formation and reionization, and spectroscopically confirm high-escape fraction candidates.

Quenching in the Early Universe

Identify and confirm the first galaxies to quench their star formation.
