cds-question@unistra.frgalaxy-clusterssurveysredshiftedgalaxy-classification-systemsThe Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a ~100{deg}^2^, two-filter imaging survey in the R_C_ and z' filters, designed primarily to locate and characterize galaxy clusters to redshifts as high as z=1.4. This paper provides a detailed description of the survey strategy and execution, including a thorough discussion of the photometric and astrometric calibration of the survey data. These catalogs, representing about 10% of the total survey and comprising a total of 429 candidate clusters and groups, contain a total of 67 cluster candidates at a photometric redshift of 0.9<z<1.4, down to the chosen significance threshold of 3.29{sigma}.2005ApJS..157....1Ghttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/157/1CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/157/1https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/157/1http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/157/1https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/157/1https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/157/1http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/157/1GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJS/157/1/rcs (Clusters in the two patches RCS0926+37 and RCS1327+29)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/157/1/rcs?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/157/1/rcs?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/157/1/rcs?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true141.190416736.46988890.0055555555555555565/1440 1441 2597 6/5673 5674 5675 5676 5678 5769 10301 10302 10303 10346 10432 10434https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/157/1?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/ApJS/157/1/rcsClusters in the two patches RCS0926+37 and RCS1327+29recnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
