We present the results of a deep CCD-based IZ photometric survey of a
~ 1 deg2 area in the central region of the Pleiades Galactic
open cluster. The magnitude coverage of our survey (from 
down to 22) allows us to detect substellar candidates with masses
between 0.075 and 0.03 
. Details of the photometric reduction
and selection criteria are given. Finder charts prepared from the I-band
images are provided.
Key words: stars: low-mass, brown dwarfs / Galaxy: open clusters and associations: Pleiades catalogs
Based on observations made with the Isaac Newton Teles cope (INT) and the Jacobus Kaptein Telescope (JKT) operated on the island of La Palma by the Isaac Newton Group at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias; and on observations made with the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) at the same observatory.
