چکیده

We present a catalog of 74 galaxies detected serendipitously during a campaign of spectroscopic observations of the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF) and its environs. Among the identiÐed objects are Ðve candidate Lya emitters at a galaxy cluster at z\ 0.85, and a Chandra source with a heretofore z Z 5, undetermined redshift of z\ 2.011. We report redshifts for 25 galaxies in the central HDF, 13 of which had no prior published spectroscopic redshift. Of the remaining 49 galaxies, 30 are located in the singleorbit HDF Ñanking Ðelds. We discuss the redshift distribution of the serendipitous sample, which contains galaxies in the range 0.10\ z \ 5.77 with a median redshift of z\ 0.85, and we present strong evidence for redshift clustering. By comparing our spectroscopic redshifts with optical/IR photometric studies of the HDF, we Ðnd that photometric redshifts are in most cases capable of producing reasonable predictions of galaxy redshifts. Finally, we estimate the line-of-sight velocity dispersion and the corresponding mass and expected X-ray luminosity of the galaxy cluster, we present strong arguments for interpreting the Chandra source as an obscured active galactic nucleus, and we discuss in detail the spectrum of one of the candidate Lya emitters. z Z 5

Serendipitously Detected Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field

We present a catalog of 74 galaxies detected serendipitously during a campaign of spectroscopic observations of the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF) and its environs. Among the identified objects are five candidate Lyα–emitters at z∼5, a galaxy cluster at z = 0.85, and a Chandra source with a heretofore undetermined redshift of z = 2.011. We report redshifts for 25 galaxies in the central HDF, 13 ...

DASTWAR: a tool for completeness estimation in magnitude-size plane

Today, great observatories around the world, devote a substantial amount of observing time to sky surveys. The resulted images are inputs of source finder modules. These modules search for the target objects and provide us with source catalogues. We sought to quantify the ability of detection tools in recovering faint galaxies regularly encountered in deep surveys. Our approach was based on com...

Observations of the Hubble Deep Field with the Infrared Space Observatory - IV. Association of sources with Hubble Deep Field galaxies

We discuss the identification of sources detected by the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) at 6.7 and 15 11m in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) region. We conservatively associate ISO sources with objects in existing optical and near-infrared HDF catalogues using the likelihood ratio method, confirming these results (and, in one case, clarifying them) with independent visual searches. We find 15 ISO...

Letter to the Editor WSRT observations of the Hubble Deep Field region

We present deep WSRT 1.4 GHz observations of the Hubble Deep Field region. At the 5σ level, the WSRT clearly detects 85 regions of radio emission in a 10′ ×10′ field centred on the HDF. Eight of these regions fall within the HDF itself, four of these are sources that have not previously been detected at 1.4 GHz, although two of these are VLA detections at 8.5 GHz. The two new radio sources dete...
