July 15, 2011

The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) is a Multi-Wavelength Project to survey
a 2 square degree equatorial field, centered on RA=10:00:28.6 and
DEC=+02:12:21.0. 

These data represent imaging from the NEWFIRM Medium Band Survey 
(PI P.G. vanDokkum). http://www.astro.yale.edu/nmbs/Overview.html

Please cite Whitaker et al. 2011, ApJ, 735, 86 if you make use of
these data.  The filter system is defined in:
van Dokkum et al. 2009, PASP, 121, 1

These data were taken from the NOAO archvie http://archive.noao.edu/nsa/ 
and modified to the COSMOS standard format for internal COSMOS use.
