Abstract:
We present the details and early results from a deep near-infrared
survey utilizing the NICMOS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope
centred around massive M*>1011M☉ galaxies at 1.7<z<2.9 found
within the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) fields
North and South. The GOODS NICMOS Survey (GNS) was designed to obtain
deep F160W (H-band) imaging of 80 of these massive galaxies and other
colour-selected objects such as Lyman-break dropouts, BzK objects,
distant red galaxies (DRGs), extremely red objects (EROs),
Spitzer-selected EROs, BX/BM galaxies, as well as flux-selected
submillimetre galaxies. We present in this paper details of the
observations, our sample selection, as well as a description of the
properties of the massive galaxies found within our survey fields.
This includes photometric redshifts, rest-frame colours and stellar
masses. We furthermore provide an analysis of the selection methods
for finding massive galaxies at high redshifts, including
colour-selection methods and how galaxy populations selected through
these colour methods overlap.
