Abstract:
We present the global properties (redshift, SED-based stellar mass and
star formation rate, [OII]3727 flux and equivalent width) of the
MASSIV sample. It contains 84 star-forming galaxies in the redshift
range 0.9<z<1.8 selected from the VVDS and observed with the
SINFONI/VLT integral-field spectrograph. The main aims of the MASSIV
survey is to probe the kinematics and chemical properties of a
significant and representative sample of high-redshift galaxies with
star formation rate >5M☉/yr.
Description:
Global properties of the MASSIV sample (84 galaxies). The redshift and
[OII] flux and equivalent width have been measured in optical VIMOS
spectra as part of the VVDS survey. The stellar mass and star
formation rate are derived from a SED fitting procedure using
extensive multi-lambda photometry.

Note (1): a: For this galaxy, we indicate the redshift derived from
Hα SINFONI data
Note (2): See Le Fevre et al. 2005, Cat. III/250.
The last (rightmost) digit characterises the quality of the redshift:
2 = 75% confidence in the redshift
3 = 95% confidence
4 = 100% confidence
9 = Single isolated emission line spectra
+20 = a secondary identified target, i.e. an object which is present
by chance in the spectral slit in addition of the primary target;
thus the secondary object is not ensured to be fully centered
within the slit
