Abstract:
The WISE satellite surveyed the entire sky multiple times in four
infrared (IR) wavelengths (3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22µm). This all-sky IR
photometric survey makes it possible to leverage many of the large
publicly available spectroscopic redshift surveys to measure galaxy
properties in the IR. While characterizing the cross-matching of WISE
data to a single survey is a straightforward process, doing it with
six different redshift surveys takes a fair amount of space to
characterize adequately, because each survey has unique caveats and
characteristics that need addressing. This work describes a data set
that results from matching five public redshift surveys with the
AllWISE data release, along with a reanalysis of the data described in
Lake+ (2012, J/AJ/143/7). The combined data set has an additional flux
limit of 80µJy (19.14 AB mag) in WISE's W1 filter, imposed in order
to limit it to targets with high completeness and reliable photometry
in the AllWISE data set. Consistent analysis of all of the data is
only possible if the color bias discussed in Ilbert+ (2004MNRAS.351..541I 2004MNRAS.351..541I)
is addressed (e.g., the techniques explored in Lake+ 2017AJ....153..189L 2017AJ....153..189L).
The sample defined herein is used in a companion paper in this series
to measure the luminosity function of galaxies at 2.4µm rest-frame
wavelength, and the selection process of the sample is optimized for
this purpose.
Description:
The defining data set of this paper is the WISE W1 selected survey
described in Lake+ (2012, J/AJ/143/7), hereafter WISE/DEIMOS.
WISE/DEIMOS consisted of a one-night survey performed on the Keck II
telescope using the DEIMOS instrument. WISE/DEIMOS included
observations of 10 different slit masks at disparate positions with
high galactic latitude (b>30°).

Note (1): Blank for Serendipitous sources.
Note (2): Used for target selection (blank if unavailable).
Note (3): Target group as follows:
2 = W1 bright sources (FW1≥120uJy, in the WISE Preliminary Release),
3 = W1 intermediate sources (120uJy>FW1≥80uJy),
4 = W1 faint or nondetected sources (80uJy>FW1), and
5 = targets that serendipitously fell on the slit of a target.
For analysis of pseudo-randomly selected galaxies with well-known
selection completeness, targets with 1<TG<5 should be used. In order
to have good completeness of the initial detections, we recommend
further limiting the sample to TG<4.
See section 2.1.
Note (4): Corresponds to the Field Number in Table 5.
Note (5): Earth-centric redshift of the source (blank if no valid redshift
could be determined); no correction for the motion of the sun,
Earth's orbital motion, or the CMB dipole was made, but all
redshifts were gathered on a single night, Universal Time
2010 September 14, using the Keck 2 telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
Note (6): Quality code of the redshift as follows:
-1 = sources with no detected flux in the spectrum; 50 occurrences
0 = sources that have a spectrum but for which it was not possible to
even estimate a redshift; 51 occurrences
1 = targets where a redshift measurement was possible but no spectral
features could be identified (blunders could not be ruled out,
confidence <50%); 18 occurrences
2 = targets where the redshift is better but still uncertain
(confidence <95%); 14 occurrences
3 = targets that have a secure redshift with at least one clearly
identifiable spectral feature or more of lesser quality (absorption
or emission lines); 55 occurrences
4 = targets with multiple clearly identifiable spectral features;
654 occurrences.
Note (7): Classification as follows:
Star = star (362 occurrences);
Gal = galaxy (353 occurrences);
QSO = broad line quasar (20 occurrences);
Indet = source that had an indeterminate spectrum (35 occurrences);
Unseen = source that didn't produce an observable spectrum (48 occurrences);
Lost = source that was lost to instrument constraints (24 occurrences).
Note (8): NA for invalid sources.
Note (9): That is, it corresponds to a non-artifact AllWISE source.
Note (10): Code as follows:
1 = continuum was detected in the slit;
0 = no continuum detected.
