The DEEP3 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Keck/DEIMOS Spectroscopy in the GOODS-N Field

TL;DR

This paper reports on spectroscopic observations of 370 targets in the GOODS-N field using Keck/DEIMOS, resulting in 156 secure redshifts and providing spectral data to enhance the existing TKRS database.

Contribution

It presents new spectroscopic data for the GOODS-N field, expanding the TKRS sample with uniform spectra and redshift measurements.

Findings

156 secure redshifts obtained from 370 targets

Spectra include sky-subtracted one- and two-dimensional data

Data enhances the uniformity of the TKRS spectral database

Abstract

We present the results of spectroscopic observations in the GOODS-N field completed using DEIMOS on the Keck II telescope as part of the DEEP3 Galaxy Redshift Survey. Observations of 370 unique targets down to a limiting magnitude of R = 24.4 yielded 156 secure redshifts. In addition to redshift information, we provide sky-subtracted one- and two-dimensional spectra of each target. Observations were conducted following the procedures of the Team Keck Redshift Survey (TKRS), thereby producing spectra that augment the TKRS sample while maintaining the uniformity of its spectral database.
