GOODS NICMOS Survey

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The GOODS NICMOS Survey (GNS) is a 180 orbit Hubble Space Telescope survey consisting of 60 pointings with the NICMOS-3 near-infrared camera.

Description

Each pointing is centred on a massive galaxy (M<sub>*</sub> > 1011 M<sub>sun</sub>) in the redshift range 1.7 < z < 3, selected by their optical-to-infrared colours (Papovich+06,Yan+04,Daddi+07) from the GOODS (Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey) fields. <p> The positions of the 60 GNS pointings were optimised to contain as many massive galaxies as possible and are partly overlapping, covering a total area of about 45 arcmin2.

The field of view of the NICMOS-3 camera is 51.2 × 51.2 arcsec with a resolution of about 0.1 arcsec/pixel. The PSF has a width of about 0.3 arcsec FWHM. The limiting magnitude in H band reached at 5σ is HAB = 26.8, about 2 magnitudes fainter than in available ground based data of the GOODS fields.
