Abstract:
We have conducted a two-layered spectroscopic survey (1'x1' ultra
deep and 3'x3'deep regions) in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) with
the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE). The combination of a
large field of view, high sensitivity, and wide wavelength coverage
provides an order of magnitude improvement in spectroscopically
confirmed redshifts in the HUDF; i.e., 1206 secure spectroscopic
redshifts for Hubble Space Telescope (HST) continuum selected objects,
which corresponds to 15% of the total (7904). The redshift
distribution extends well beyond z>3 and to HST/F775W magnitudes as
faint as ~=30mag (AB, 1σ). In addition, 132 secure redshifts
were obtained for sources with no HST counterparts that were
discovered in the MUSE data cubes by a blind search for emission-line
features. In total, we present 1338 high quality redshifts, which is a
factor of eight increase compared with the previously known
spectroscopic redshifts in the same field. We assessed redshifts
mainly with the spectral features [OII] at z<1.5 (473 objects) and
Lyα at 2.9<z<6.7 (692 objects). With respect to F775W magnitude,
a 50% completeness is reached at 26.5mag for ultra deep and 25.5mag
for deep fields, and the completeness remains ≥20% up to 28-29mag and
~=27mag, respectively. We used the determined redshifts to test
continuum color selection (dropout) diagrams of high-z galaxies. The
selection condition for F336W dropouts successfully captures ~=80% of
the targeted z∼2.7 galaxies. However, for higher redshift selections
(F435W, F606W, and F775W dropouts), the success rates decrease to
~=20-40%. We empirically redefine the selection boundaries to make an
attempt to improve them to ~=60%. The revised boundaries allow bluer
colors that capture Lyα emitters with high Lyα equivalent
widths falling in the broadbands used for the color-color selection.
Along with this paper, we release the redshift and line flux catalog.
Description:
Spectroscopic redshift measurements of the MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep
Field Survey. File udf10. fit and mosaic.fit contain MUSE
spectroscopic redshifts in the ultra-deep and deep fields,
respectively. File combined.fit are the combined catalog of udf10.fit
and mosaic.fit whose duplicates are removed because the two fields are
overlapping.

Global notes:
Note (G1): For the future release, if an object can be "split" into multiple
objects in terms of their redshift identifications, then the original MUSE_ID
will be deleted and the new IDs of the split objects will be added to the
catalog.
Note (G2): When Merged = 1, the coordinates are calculated as HST F775W flux
weighted coordinates of all objects composing the new merged source
(see Sect. 3.1.1). Otherwise, they are identical to the UVUDF catalog
(Rafelski et al. 2015, Cat. J/AJ/150/31).
Note (G3): Emission line search with MUSELET is only performed in the mosaic
Note (G4): Flag defect in the data as follows:
0 = no defect
1 = some issues with the data
Note (G5): from Rafelski et al. (2015Cat. J/AJ/150/31) (when Merged = 1,
this value is not provided) or NoiseChisel (when e_F775W =-1, F775W is
a 3σ upper limit.
Note (G6): Line fluxes (10-20erg/s/cm2) summed over the entire mask
aperture. The measurements are only provided when S/N>3.
Note (G7): Merged flag as follows:
0 = no
1 = yes
Note (G8): Confidence level at follows:
3 = secure redshift, determined by multiple features;
2 = secure redshift, determined by a single feature;
1 = possible redshift, determined by a single feature whose spectral
identification remains uncertain.
Note (G9): Type as follows:
0 = star
1 = nearby emission line object
2 = [OII] emitter
3 = absorption line galaxy
4 = CIII] emitter
5 = [OIII] emitter
6 = Lyα emitter
7 = other types
