Finding charts and VLT spectra of CDFS sources. Images are based on our FORS R‐band imaging. The circles indicate the positional error (Giacconi et al. 2002). The images are ﹩20^{\prime \prime }\times 20^{\prime \prime }﹩ in size. If multiple optical counterparts were considered, they are marked on the finding charts. Next to the finding charts we show all spectroscopic observations available for the object. On the horizontal axis both the observed (bottom) and rest frame (top, if available) wavelength is shown in Å units. The vertical axis is the measured flux, ﹩f_{\lambda }﹩, in 10⁻¹⁸ ergs cm⁻² s⁻¹ Å⁻¹ units. Important emission (above the spectra) and absorption (below the spectra) features used for identification are also marked.
