Morphological Number Counts of Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field South
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a study of photometric properties of the galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDFS) based on the released WFPC2 images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We have classified about 340 galaxies with I < 26 mag in the HDFS as well as about 400 galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDFN) using the visual classification supplemented by inspection of the surface brightness profiles of the galaxies. Galaxy population statistics and morphological number counts for the HDFS are found to be similar to those for the HDFN. We have also determined photometrically the redshifts of the galaxies with I < 26 mag in the HDFS and the HDFN using the empirical training set method. Redshift distribution, color–redshift relation, and magnitude–redshift for each type of galaxies are investigated.

Interpreting the optical data of the Hubble Deep Field South: colors, morphological number counts and photometric redshifts
We present an analysis of the optical data of the Hubble Deep Field South. We derive F300WAB, F450WAB, F606WAB and F814WAB number counts for galaxies in our catalogue (Volonteri et al. 2000): the number-counts relation has an increasing slope up to the limits of the survey in all four bands. The slope is steeper at shortest wavelengths: we estimated γF300WAB ∼ 0.47± 0.05, γF450WAB ∼ 0.35 ± 0.02...

متن کاملUltraviolet Number Counts of Galaxies from Swift UV/Optical Telescope Deep Imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South
Deep Swift UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South is used to measure galaxy number counts in three near ultraviolet (NUV) filters (uvw2: 1928 Å, uvm2: 2246 Å, uvw1: 2600 Å) and the u band (3645 Å). UVOT observations cover the break in the slope of the NUV number counts with greater precision than the number counts by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Space Telescope ...
متن کاملDeep near - IR observations of the Chandra Deep Field and of the HDF South ⋆ Color and Number Counts
We present near-IR (J and Ks) number counts and colors of galaxies detected in deep VLT-ISAAC images centered on the Chandra Deep Field and Hubble Deep Field-South for a total area of 13.6 arcmin. The limiting surface brightness obtained is Ks≃22.8 mag/arcsec and J≃24.5 (1σ) on both fields. A dlogN/dm relation with a slope of ∼ 0.34 in J and ∼ 0.28 in Ks is found in both fields with no evidence...
متن کاملGalaxy morphology to I = 25 mag in the Hubble Deep Field
The morphological properties of galaxies between 21 mag < I < 25 mag in the Hubble Deep Field are investigated using a quantitative classification system based on measurements of the central concentration and asymmetry of galaxian light. The class distribution of objects in the Hubble Deep Field is strongly skewed towards highly asymmetric objects, relative to distributions from both the HST Me...
