Abstract

The Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey (RELICS) Hubble Treasury Program has completed observations of 41 massive galaxy clusters with 188 orbits of HST ACS and WFC3/IR imaging and 390 hours of Spitzer IRAC imaging. This poster presents an overview of the program and data releases. Reduced images, catalogs, and lens models for all clusters are now available on MAST. RELICS is studying the clusters, supernovae, and lensed high-redshift galaxies. A companion poster presents our high-redshift results: over 300 lensed z ~ 6 - 10 candidates, including some of the brightest known at these redshifts (Salmon et al. 2018). These will be excellent targets for detailed follow-up study in JWST Cycle 1 GO proposals.
