cds-question@unistra.frsurveysphotometryredshiftedWe present the details and early results from a deep near-infrared survey utilizing the NICMOS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope centred around massive M*>10^11^M_{sun}_ galaxies at 1.7<z<2.9 found within the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) fields North and South. The GOODS NICMOS Survey (GNS) was designed to obtain deep F160W (H-band) imaging of 80 of these massive galaxies and other colour-selected objects such as Lyman-break dropouts, BzK objects, distant red galaxies (DRGs), extremely red objects (EROs), Spitzer-selected EROs, BX/BM galaxies, as well as flux-selected submillimetre galaxies. We present in this paper details of the observations, our sample selection, as well as a description of the properties of the massive galaxies found within our survey fields. This includes photometric redshifts, rest-frame colours and stellar masses. We furthermore provide an analysis of the selection methods for finding massive galaxies at high redshifts, including colour-selection methods and how galaxy populations selected through these colour methods overlap.2011MNRAS.413...80Chttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/413/80CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toB/hst : HST Archived Exposures Catalog (STScI, 2007)II/261 : GOODS initial results (Giavalisco+, 2004)VII/246 : GOODS Morphological Catalog (Bundy+, 2005)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/413/80https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/413/80http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/413/80https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/413/80https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/413/80http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/413/80GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/413/80/catalog (GNS catalog: SExtractor parameters, stellar masses, rest-frame colors and absolute magnitudes)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/413/80/catalog?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/413/80/catalog?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/413/80/catalog?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true189.1257627862.103717780.0055555555555555566/11252 359351.1079043399350366e-19 4.9761815603361e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/413/80?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/MNRAS/413/80/catalogGNS catalog: SExtractor parameters, stellar masses, rest-frame colors and absolute magnitudesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
