cds-question@unistra.frsurveysgalaxiesphotometryinfrared-photometryvisible-astronomybroad-band-photometryredshiftedspectroscopyWe present low resolution multi-object spectroscopy of an I-band magnitude limited (I_AB_~23-23.5) sample of galaxies located in an area centered on the Hubble Deep Field-South (HDFS). The observations were obtained using the Focal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph (FORS) on the ESO Very Large Telescope. Thirty-two primary spectroscopic targets in the HST-WFPC2 HDFS were supplemented with galaxies detected in the Infrared Space Observatory's survey of the HDFS and the ESO Imaging Deep Survey to comprise a sample of 100 galaxies for spectroscopic observations. Based on detections of several emission lines, such as [OII]3727, H{beta} and [OIII]5007, or of other spectroscopic features, we measured accurate redshifts for 50 objects in the central HDFS and flanking fields. The redshift range of the current sample of galaxies is 0.6-1.2, with a median redshift of 1.13 (at I~23.5 not corrected for completeness). The sample is dominated by starburst galaxies with only a small fraction of ellipticals (~10%). For the emission line objects, the extinction corrected [OII]3727 line strengths yield estimates of star formation rates in the range 0.5-30M_{sun}_/yr. We used the present data to derive the [OII]3727 luminosity function up to redshift of 1.2. When combined with [OII]3727 luminosity densities for the local and high redshift Universe, our results confirm the steep rise in the star formation rate (SFR) to z~1.3.2005A&A...440...61Rhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/440/61CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/A+A/379/740 : ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) (Arnouts+, 2001)J/ApJ/548/127 : Hubble Deep Field-South region (Teplitz+ 2001)J/AJ/119/486 : HDF-S: STIS imaging (Gardner+, 2000)J/AJ/120/2747 : HDF-South WFPC2 observations (Casertano+, 2000)J/AJ/122/2190 : HDF-South multicolor observations (Vanzella+, 2001)J/AJ/122/2205 : HDF-South K photometric redshift catalog (Rudnick+, 2001)J/AJ/126/1208 : UVBI magnitudes and redshifts in HDF-South (Sawicki+, 2003)J/ApJ/538/493 : HDF-South NICMOS field (Yahata+, 2000)http://archive.stsci.edu/pub/hdf-south/version1 : WFPC2 flanking fieldshttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/440/61https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/440/61http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/440/61https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/440/61https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/440/61http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/440/61GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/440/61/table2 (Identifications and photometry)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/440/61/table2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/440/61/table2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/440/61/table2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true338.2704167-60.50852780.0055555555555555566/45526https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/440/61?format=asciiOpticalInfrareddefaultJ/A+A/440/61/table2Identifications and photometryrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
