cds-question@unistra.frgalaxy-clustersredshiftedextinctionWe present an optically selected catalog of 1073 galaxy cluster and group candidates at 0.3<~z<~1. These candidates are drawn from the Las Campanas Distant Clusters Survey (LCDCS), a drift-scan imaging survey of a 130 square degree strip of the southern sky. The survey data were obtained in 1995 March under photometric conditions using the Las Campanas 1 m telescope, the Great Circle Camera, and the Tek No. 5 CCD. To construct this catalog we utilize a novel detection process in which clusters are detected as positive surface brightness fluctuations in the background sky. This approach permits us to find clusters with significantly shallower data than other matched-filter methods that are based upon number counts of resolved galaxies. Selection criteria for the survey are fully automated so that this sample constitutes a well-defined, homogeneous sample that can be used to address issues of cluster evolution and cosmology. Estimated redshifts are derived for the entire sample, and an observed correlation between surface brightness and velocity dispersion, {sigma}, is used to estimate the limiting velocity dispersion of the survey as a function of redshift.2001ApJS..137..117Ghttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/137/117CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVII/203 : Las Campanas Redshift Survey (Shectman+ 1996)J/ApJS/130/237 : LCRS loose groups of galaxies (Tucker+, 2000)J/AN/321/101 : Compact groups of galaxies in LCRS (Allam+, 2000)J/MNRAS/327/588 : Las Campanas/AAT Rich Cluster Survey - I (Pimbblet+, 2001)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/137/117https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/137/117http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/137/117https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/137/117https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/137/117http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/137/117GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJS/137/117/table1 (Statistical Catalog)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/137/117/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/137/117/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/137/117/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true150.280833-12.440.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJS/137/117/table2 (Supplemental Catalog)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/137/117/table2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/137/117/table2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/137/117/table2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true151.578333-12.9702780.0055555555555555565/6269 6270 6333 6334 6349 6350 6353 6369 6370 6413 6414 6417 6418 6433 6434 6669 6670 6673 6674 6689 11197 11198 11213 11214 11233 11234 6/25054 25055 25069 25070 25071 25073 25074 25075 25084 25309 25310 25311 25325 25327 25329 25331 25340 25373 25374 25375 25389 25390 25391 25393 25394 25395 25409 25411 25416 25417 25418 25420 25440 25473 25474 25475 25484 25488 25504 25629 25630 25631 25645 25647 25649 25650 25651 25660 25665 25666 25667 25676 25680 25696 25730 25731 25740 25744 26655 26670 26671 26673 26674 26675 26684 26689 26690 26691 26700 26704 26720 26755 26760 26761 26763 26764 26768 44527 44536 44765 44766 44767 44781 44783 44785 44786 44787 44796 44830 44831 44847 44849 44850 44851 44860 44868 44872 44874 44896 44929 44930 44931 44944https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/137/117?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/ApJS/137/117/table1Statistical CatalogrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
