Case B in the paper? That case is bad! Cases C and D, which we advocate, reach depth faster than case A and are more uniform by any statistics. And by the way, Rory Holmes (the first author) is one of the designers of the Euclid survey, so that's pretty much the point!Hogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398397408280534592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10448119.post-62019015912855124912012-09-15T12:33:50.472-04:002012-09-15T12:33:50.472-04:00Even if you are right, I think that case B fails i...Even if you are right, I think that case B fails in taking in account that surveys/missions are typically financed for the minimum amount of time necessary to accomplish their scientific objectives. Case B doesn't ensure the area, depth and multiband coverage during the nominal duration of a survey. See Panstarrs and Euclid for example.<br /><br />BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
