WFC3/IR fields (orange) around the GOODS South area used in this analysis (see Section 2 and Table 1). The HUDF/HUDF09-1/HUDF09-2 fields comprise the deepest NIR data available to date, reaching to gsim 29 AB mag. These three WFC3/IR pointings are covered in a total of 192 HST orbits, which obtained photometry in Y 105, J 125, and H 160. The ERS field consists of 60 orbits of WFC3/IR imaging in Y 098, J 125, and H 160 spread over a 2 × 5 tile. The CANDELS program is an on-going multi-cycle treasury survey consisting of two parts: CANDELS-Deep (~60 arcmin 2, limited at H 160, AB ~ 27.5) and CANDELS-Wide (~40 arcmin 2, limited at H 160, AB ~ 26.9). Only J 125 and H 160 data obtained before 2011 August 6 are used in this analysis (together with the shallow Y 105 imaging of CANDELS-Wide).
