cds-question@unistra.frgalaxy-clustersgalaxiesinfrared-sourcesUsing the Florida Multi-object Imaging Near-IR Grism Observational Spectrometer (FLAMINGOS), we have conducted the FLAMINGOS Extragalactic Survey (FLAMEX), a deep imaging survey covering 7.1{deg}^2^ within the 18.6{deg}^2^ NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS) regions. FLAMEX is the first deep, wide-area, nearinfrared survey to image in both the J and Ks filters, and is larger than any previous NIR survey of comparable depth. The intent of FLAMEX is to facilitate the study of galaxy and galaxy cluster evolution at 1<z<2 by providing rest-frame optical photometry for the massive galaxy population at this epoch. This effort is designed to yield a public data set that complements and augments the suite of existing surveys in the NDWFS fields. We present an overview of FLAMEX and initial results based on ~150,000 Ks-selected sources in the Bootes field. We describe the observations and reductions, quantify the data quality, and verify that the number counts are consistent with results from previous surveys. Finally, we comment on the utility of this sample for detailed study of the ERO population, and present one of the first spectroscopically confirmed z>1 galaxy clusters detected using the joint FLAMEX, NDWFS, and Spitzer IRAC Shallow Survey data sets.2006ApJ...639..816Ehttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/639/816CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/639/816https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/639/816http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/639/816https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/639/816https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/639/816http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/639/816GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/639/816/bootesj (Bootes J catalog)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/bootesj?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/bootesj?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/bootesj?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true218.9979716734.689560830.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJ/639/816/bootesks (Bootes Ks catalog)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/bootesks?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/bootesks?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/bootesks?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true218.9980236134.689572780.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJ/639/816/cetusj (Cetus J catalog)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/cetusj?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/cetusj?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/cetusj?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true34.51765056-3.837109440.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJ/639/816/cetusks (Cetus Ks catalog)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/cetusks?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/cetusks?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/639/816/cetusks?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true34.51761722-3.837112780.0055555555555555565/2287 2628 4425 6/9142 9145 9146 9147 10501 10516 17677 17679 17688 17690 17691 17712 17713 177147.952274030004205e-20 1.7798557115773645e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/639/816?format=asciiInfrareddefaultJ/ApJ/639/816/bootesjBootes J catalogEllEllipicity, 1-b/a (ELLIPTICITY)meta.notefloatrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
