Abstract:
One hundred and five 15µm-selected objects in three ISO (Infrared
Space Observatory) deep survey fields (CFRS 3h, UDSR and UDSF) are
studied on the basis of their high-quality optical spectra with
resolution R>1000 from VLT/FORS2. ∼92 objects (88%) have secure
redshifts, ranging from 0 to 1.16 with a median value of zmed=0.587.
Description:
Our sample galaxies were selected from three ISO deep survey fields:
CFRS 3, Ultra-Deep-Survey-Rosat (UDSR) and Ultra-Deep-Survey-FIRBACK
(UDSF) field.
The CFRS was carried out in five moderate to high galactic latitude
(|b|>45°) survey fields of area 10'x10' chosen to match the field
of view of the MOS multiobject spectrograph on the 3.6m CFHT. The UDSR
field refers to the Marano field centered at 03:15:09-55:13:57 (J2000),
which is a deep ROSAT observation field. FIRBACK is a deep survey
conducted with the ISOPHOT instrument aboard the ISO at an effective
wavelength of 175µm.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on table6.dat: The uncertainties of the line ratios and metallicity are
from the uncertainties of extinction and emission line flux measurements.
The typical 30% uncertainty of SFRIR will result in a typical 0.03dex
discrepancy on the derived values.
Note on table7.dat: The uncertainties of the line ratios and metallicity are
from the uncertainties of extinction and emission line flux measurements.
