Abstract:
We present the spectrophotometric properties of a sample of 141
emission-line galaxies at redshifts in the range 0.2<z<1.0 with a peak
around 0.2≤z≤0.4. The analysis is based on medium resolution
(Rs=500-600), optical spectra obtained at VLT and Keck. The targets
are mostly "Canada-France Redshift Survey" (VII/225) emission-line
galaxies, with the addition of field galaxies randomly selected behind
lensing clusters. We complement this sample with galaxy spectra from
the "Gemini Deep Deep Survey" (J/AJ/127/2455) public data release.
We have computed absolute magnitudes of the galaxies and measured the
line fluxes and equivalent widths of the main emission/absorption
lines. The last two have been measured after careful subtraction of
the fitted stellar continuum using the platefit software originally
developed for the SDSS and adapted to our data. We present a careful
comparison of this software with the results of manual measurements.
