Image Details
Caption: Figure 1.
The location of the 117 NGVS fields in the plane of the sky. Each field is identified as NGVSxy, where x and y are the number of fields separating the field in question from the one containing M87, identified as NGVS+0+0 (see text footnote). All fields have u*-, g-, i-, and z-band long exposures and g- and z-band short exposures, but short-exposure coverage in the u* and i bands is not complete (see Figures 2 and 3). The background image within the NGVS footprint is a color mosaic of NGVS images, while the background outside the NGVS footprint is from the SDSS. The small red and blue squares mark the locations of M87 and M49, respectively, while the large red and blue circles represent the viral radii of Virgo’s A and B subclusters, respectively.
