Abstract

We present data products from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS).CFHTLenS is based on the Wide component of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS).It encompasses 154 deg 2 of deep, optical, high-quality, sub-arcsecond imaging data in the five optical filters u * g r i z .The scientific aims of the CFHTLenS team are weak gravitational lensing studies supported by photometric redshift estimates for the galaxies.This paper presents our data processing of the complete CFHTLenS data set.We were able to obtain a data set with very good image quality and high-quality astrometric and photometric calibration.Our external astrometric accuracy is between 60 and 70 mas with respect to Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data, and the internal alignment in all filters is around 30 mas.Our average photometric calibration shows a dispersion of the order of 0.01-0.03mag for g r i z and about 0.04 mag for u * with respect to SDSS sources down to i SDSS ≤ 21.We demonstrate in accompanying papers that our data meet necessary requirements to fully exploit the survey for weak gravitational lensing analyses in

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
