Abstract:
We present the first results from the Faint Infra-Red Extragalactic
Survey of the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S). Using a combination of
deep near-infrared (NIR) data obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph
and Array Camera at the VLT and the WFPC2 Hubble Space Telescope data,
we construct a K-band-selected sample which is 50% and 90% complete
for Ks,AB≤23.5 and Ks,AB≤22.0, respectively, where the
magnitudes are measured over a 2.0" diameter aperture. For z≤3, our
selection by the K-band flux chooses galaxies based on wavelengths
redder than the rest-frame V band, and so selects them in a way that
is less dependent on their current star formation rates than selection
in the rest-frame UV.
