cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesphotometryinfrared-sourcesinfrared-photometryAs a prerequisite for cosmological studies using adaptive optics techniques, we have begun to identify and characterize faint sources in the vicinity of bright stars at high Galactic latitudes. The initial phase of this work has been a program of K_s_ imaging conducted with SOFI at the ESO NTT. From observations of 42 southern fields evenly divided between the spring and autumn skies, we have identified 391 additional stars and 1589 galaxies lying at separations <60" from candidate guide stars in the magnitude range 9.0<R<12.4. When analyzed as a "discrete deep field" with 131-arcmin^2^ area, our dataset gives galaxy number counts that agree with those derived previously over the range 16<K_s_<20.5. This consistency indicates that in the aggregate, our fields should be suitable for future statistical studies. We provide our source catalogue as a resource for users of large telescopes in the southern hemisphere.2003A&A...406..593Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/406/593CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/406/593https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/406/593http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/406/593https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/406/593https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/406/593http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/406/593GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/406/593/table1 (Parameters of 42 bright southern stars)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/406/593/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/406/593/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/406/593/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true2.9118333-19.61972220.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/A+A/406/593/table3 (K_s_ parameters of 1980 sources lying within an arcminute of one of 42 bright stars)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/406/593/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/406/593/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/406/593/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true2.9140833-19.61905560.0055555555555555566/16469 16640 16803 17005 20714 21056 21278 24652 35753-35755 38525 38761 38764 40246-40247 40291 40296 40358 40567 43261 43619 43735 43807 43827 43851 43906 43915 43936 43944 46509 46514 46520 47006 48911https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/406/593?format=asciiOpticalInfrareddefaultJ/A+A/406/593/table1Parameters of 42 bright southern starsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
