Abstract:
We present the full data set of the VIsible Multi-Object Spectrograph
(VIMOS) spectroscopic campaign of the ESO/GOODS program in the Chandra
Deep Field South (CDFS), which complements the FORS2 ESO/GOODS
spectroscopic campaign.
The ESO/GOODS spectroscopic programs are aimed at reaching
signal-to-noise ratios adequate to measure redshifts for galaxies with
AB magnitudes in the range ∼24-25 in the B and R band using VIMOS, and
in the z band using FORS2.
Description:
The GOODS/VIMOS spectroscopic campaign is structured in two separate
surveys using two different VIMOS grisms. The VIMOS Low Resolution
Blue (LR-Blue) and Medium Resolution (MR) orange grisms have been used
to cover different redshift ranges. The LR-Blue campaign is aimed at
observing galaxies mainly at 1.8<z<3.5, while the MR campaign mainly
aims at galaxies at z<1 and Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z>3.5.
