The sample contains 42 stars, 8 QSOs, and 291 galaxies up to z=5.98 objects are at z&gt;2. For z&gt;1 most objects were selected using photometric redshifts. The limiting I magnitude has been I=24.5 for 2&lt;z&lt;4. All spectra were obtained using the FORS instruments at the ESO VLT and cover the wavelength range 3300-10000{AA}. The grism 150I with a 1" slit width was used, resulting in a spectral resolution element of our spectra of 18-24{AA}, depending on the light distribution in the slit. Most objects were observed several times. Typical exposure times were about 10h for our z&gt;2 objects. The individual spectra were S/N-optimised co-added. The final spectra were flux calibrated, smoothed to the resolution element, and corrected for atmospheric extinction. Moreover, the spectra were corrected for the atmospheric A and B bands. Redshifts and rough object types were derived by cross-correlation of the galaxy spectra with six template spectra, which had been created from high-quality FDF spectroscopic data by an iterative procedure.</description><source format="bibcode">2004A&amp;A...418..885N</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/418/885</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/398/49">J/A+A/398/49 : UBgRIJKs photometry in the FORS Deep Field (Heidt+, 2003)</relatedResource></relationship></content><rights>https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html</rights><capability><interface xsi:type="vr:WebBrowser"><accessURL use="full">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/418/885</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/418/885</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/418/885</mirrorURL></interface></capability><capability><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/418/885</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/418/885</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/418/885</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP#aux"><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap</accessURL></interface></capability><capability xsi:type="cs:ConeSearch" standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/ConeSearch"><description>Cone search capability for table J/A+A/418/885/table1 (Data of FDF objects with spectroscopic redshift)</description><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/418/885/table1?</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/418/885/table1?</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/418/885/table1?</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface><maxSR>180.0</maxSR><maxRecords>50000</maxRecords><verbosity>true</verbosity><testQuery><ra>16.4525</ra><dec>-25.748056</dec><sr>0.005555555555555556</sr></testQuery></capability><coverage><spatial>6/35774</spatial><footprint ivo-id="ivo://ivoa.net/std/moc">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/418/885?format=ascii</footprint><waveband>Optical</waveband></coverage><tableset><schema><name>default</name><table><name>J/A+A/418/885/table1</name><description>Data of FDF objects with spectroscopic redshift</description><column><name>z</name><description>Spectroscopic redshift</description><ucd>src.redshift</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:VOTableType">float</dataType></column><column><name>recno</name><description>Record number assigned by the VizieR team.
