Descripción
In this article we present the survey STREGA, that has been proposed as
part of the VST GTO (VLT Survey Telescope Guarantee Time of Observation)
that will be given to the INAF-OAC in exchange for the construction of
the telescope (see Alcalàet al., this volume). This survey will
cover an area of about 150 sq. deg., searching for the southern portion
of the Fornax stream, also allowing to study the properties of Disk and
Halo White Dwarfs and interacting binaries in different fields at
increasing galactic latitudes and to provide an ideal database for star
counts and for the comparison with Galactic model predictions. The final
aim is to constrain the structure and the evolutionary properties of the
Milky Way. For the Fornax Stream this proposal is coordinated with a LBT
Science Verification Pilot Project (P.I.: G. Bono).
