Description:
The Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology Field Galaxy
Redshift Survey (CNOC2) obtained spectroscopic redshifts for about
6200 galaxies to a nominal limit of R=21.5. The survey area of about
1.5 square degrees was spread over four patches on the sky.
This catalog presents photometry and redshifts for all galaxies
in the CNOC2 0223+00 Patch (area of 1409 square arcminutes). A future
paper will provide catalogs for the other three patches.

Note (1): An important feature of the catalog is the various weights
computed to allow the sample to be used as a complete sample. A
detailed description of the weights are given in the paper. The
primary weight is the magnitude weight Wm (prefixed w_ in the table).
The subsidiary weights modify the magnitude weight Wm as follows:
W(tot) = Wm * Wxy * Wc * Wz,
where Wxy=geometric weight, Wc=color weight, and Wz=redshift weight.
Note that each filter has its own Wm, Wxy and Wc. However, Wz, which
is model dependent, is determined only for the R filter.
Note (2): Spectrum name. The last 4 characters denote mask number,
(A,B,C) and spectrum number (e.g. A034), the first 2 numbers denote
field numbers (same as (1)). Note that for objects with multiple
observations only one of the spectrum IDs is listed (usually the one
with the highest redshift reliability (Rval) value).
Note (3): Spectroscopic classification defined as follows:
0 = object not targeted for spectroscopy
2 = elliptical spectrum
4 = intermediate-type spectrum
5 = emission-line spectrum
6 = active galactic nuclei
77 = star
88 = unknown
99 = slit but no spectrum (object too faint)
Note (4): Color aperture magnitude error. This is the magnitude error
within the aperture used to determine the color of the object. An
approximate uncertainty in the color between any two filters can be
derived by adding the two color aperture errors in quadrature.
Note (5): PPP star-galaxy classification as follows:
0 = cosmic ray/non detection
1 = galaxy
2 = probable galaxy
3 = star
4 = saturated star

Nomenclature Notes:
The center of the co-ordinate system used in the catalog is at
02:23:29.95 +00:05:12.9 (1950). The astrometry is accurate to about
±1 arcseconds RMS. Objects should be named using the prefix CNOC2
followed by the standard IAU coordinate designation for coordinates
with this accuracy. For example, an object at the center of the
coordinate system would be known as CNOC2 022329.9+000512.
