cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesspectroscopysurveysredshiftedline-intensitiesphotometryWe present the Spectroscopic Imaging survey in the near-infrared (near-IR) with SINFONI (SINS) of high-redshift galaxies. With 80 objects observed and 63 detected in at least one rest-frame optical nebular emission line, mainly H{alpha}, SINS represents the largest survey of spatially resolved gas kinematics, morphologies, and physical properties of star-forming galaxies at z~1-3. We describe the selection of the targets, the observations, and the data reduction. We then focus on the "SINS H{alpha} sample," consisting of 62 rest-UV/optically selected sources at 1.3<z<2.6 for which we targeted primarily the H{alpha} and [NII] emission lines. Only ~30% of this sample had previous near-IR spectroscopic observations. The galaxies were drawn from various imaging surveys with different photometric criteria; as a whole, the SINS H{alpha} sample covers a reasonable representation of massive M_*_>~10^10^M_{sun}_ star-forming galaxies at z~1.5-2.5, with some bias toward bluer systems compared to pure K-selected samples due to the requirement of secure optical redshift. The H{alpha} morphologies tend to be irregular and/or clumpy. About one-third of the SINS H{alpha} sample galaxies are rotation-dominated yet turbulent disks, another one-third comprises compact and velocity dispersion-dominated objects, and the remaining galaxies are clear interacting/merging systems; the fraction of rotation-dominated systems increases among the more massive part of the sample.2009ApJ...706.1364Fhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/706/1364CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/284 : COSMOS Multi-Wavelength Photometry Catalog (Capak+, 2007)VII/228 : Las Campanas Infrared Survey (Chen+, 2001-2002)J/ApJ/682/985 : FIREWORKS photometry of GOODS CDF-S (Wuyts+, 2008)J/ApJS/172/70 : zCOSMOS-bright catalog (Lilly+, 2007)J/A+A/462/553 : EIS: optical deep public survey (Mignano+, 2007)J/ApJ/647/128 : H{alpha} observations of UV-selected galaxies (Erb, 2006)J/A+A/437/883 : K20 survey: spectroscopic catalogue (Mignoli+, 2005)J/ApJ/622/772 : Redshift survey of submillimeter galaxies (Chapman+, 2005)J/AJ/127/2455 : Gemini Deep Deep Survey (GDDS) (Abraham+, 2004)J/ApJ/616/71 : Optical properties of SCUBA galaxies (Smail+, 2004)J/ApJ/592/728 : Lyman break galaxies at redshift z~3 (Steidel+, 2003)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/706/1364https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/706/1364http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/706/1364https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/706/1364https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/706/1364http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/706/1364GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/706/1364/table1 (SINS survey: galaxies observed)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/706/1364/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/706/1364/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/706/1364/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true197.0752529.38866670.0055555555555555566/4947 8912 8914 9272 10383 17741 18271 18780 19033 19036 19397 19682 22970 24765 25141 25184 25540 26037 31386 34503 35935 36944 389737.952274030004205e-20 1.0188844282367877e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/706/1364?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/ApJ/706/1364/table1SINS survey: galaxies observedSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharn_Kmag[dfim] Note on Kmag (3)meta.notecharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
