Abstract:
We present catalogs of objects detected in deep images of 11 fields in
10 distant clusters obtained using WFPC-2 on board the Hubble Space
Telescope. The clusters span the redshift range z=0.37-0.56 and are
the subject of a detailed ground- and space-based study to investigate
the evolution of galaxies as a function of environment and epoch. The
data presented here include positions, photometry and basic
morphological information on ∼9000 objects in the fields of the 10
clusters. For a brighter subset of 1857 objects in these areas, we
provide more detailed morphological information.
Description:
The catalogs are presented in ASCII tables, along with FITS images of
the HST observations and Postscript versions of the plates from the
printed paper.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on ID:
IDs starting 2000 denote objects lying on the PC chip;
those starting 3000 are "additional" objects lying on the WFC
Note on mag1.0:
the parameter is F814W for clusters a,c,e,h,j,k,
and F702W for the clusters b,d,f,g,i
Note on bestmag:
variable-diameter aperture magnitude measured in an elliptical
aperture of major axis 2.5rK, unless Flags=1 occurred in which
case the "corrected" isophotal magnitude is used (Bertin &
Arnouts, 1996A&AS..117..393B 1996A&AS..117..393B)
Note on theta:
theta is defined counter-clockwise from the positive X-axis
Note on P(star):
classifier using neural-net weights: 0.0=galaxy, 1.0=star
Note on C1:
C1 represents the fraction of an object's light contained in the
central 30% of its area as measured in an ellipse aligned with the
object and having the same axial ratio (see Abraham et al.,
1994ApJ...432...75A 1994ApJ...432...75A). C1 is a measure of how centrally peaked an
object is.
Note on C2:
C2 measures the fraction of an object's light contained in the
brightest 30% of its pixels. C2 provides a measure similar to C1,
but without requiring the light to be centrally concentrated
Note on Flags:
1: bright neighbors may bias magnitude estimate;
2: originally a blend;
4: saturated;
8: object truncated by frame boundary;
16: incomplete aperture photometry;
32: incomplete isophotal photometry;
64: memory overflow during deblending;
128: memory overflow during extraction.
Note on ci1.0:
Only for those fields with color information:
F555W-F814W for clusters a,e,h,j,k ;
F450W-F814W for cluster c.

Note on MType:
The standard Hubble classification scheme (E, S0, Sa, Sb ) with the
addition of the following: D, cD, Morgan type D or cD galaxy; E/S0 or

but too compact to see structure); *, stellar image; ?,
unclassifiable.

History:
* 07-May-1997: tabular data as a set of 22 FITS files on AAS CD-ROM series,
Volume 8, 1997, directory /volume8/apjs/inpress/smail (Lee Brotzman)
* 04-Jun-1998: tables reformatted and merged into 3 tables at CDS
(F. Ochsenbein)
* 18-Jul-2002: some records in table3 were missing (the number of records
was 8935 instead of 8958), thanks to Bo Milvang-Jensen (Copenhague
University) who reported the problem.
