Image Details
Caption: Figure 1.
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
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).
