The final sample consists of 23745 redshifts. There are well-defined galaxy samples in 10 bands (the B_W_, R, I, J, K, IRAC 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0um, and MIPS 24um bands) to a limiting magnitude of I<20mag for spectroscopy. For these galaxies, we obtained 18163 redshifts from a sample of 35200 galaxies, where random sparse sampling was used to define statistically complete sub-samples in all 10 photometric bands. The median galaxy redshift is 0.31, and 90% of the redshifts are in the range 0.085<z<0.66. Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) were selected as radio, X-ray, IRAC mid-IR, and MIPS 24um sources to fainter limiting magnitudes (I<22.5mag for point sources). Redshifts were obtained for 4764 quasars and galaxies with AGN signatures, with 2926, 1718, 605, 119, and 13 above redshifts of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. We detail all the AGES selection procedures and present the complete spectroscopic redshift catalogs and spectral energy distribution decompositions. Photometric redshift estimates are provided for all sources in the AGES samples.2012ApJS..200....8Khttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/200/8CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJ/713/970 : Low-resolution SED templates for AGNs and galaxies (Assef+,J/ApJ/639/816 : The FLAMINGOS Extragalactic Survey (Elston+, 2006)J/ApJ/641/140 : Optical counterparts in the NDWFS Bootes field (Brand+, 2006)J/ApJS/161/9 : X-ray survey of the NDWFS Bootes field (Kenter+, 2005)J/ApJ/634/L1 : 16{mu}m sources in the NOAO Bootes field (Kasliwal+, 2005)http://www.noao.edu/noao/noaodeep/DR3/dr3-data.html : NDWFS DR3 datahttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/200/8https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/200/8http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/200/8https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/200/8https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/200/8http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/200/8GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJS/200/8/table2 (The spectroscopic observations)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/200/8/table2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/200/8/table2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/200/8/table2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000trueCone search capability for table J/ApJS/200/8/sources (Magnitudes, redshifts, completeness and selection codes for all sources (tables 5-9 of the paper))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/200/8/sources?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/200/8/sources?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/200/8/sources?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true217.3754761132.806271940.0055555555555555565/2287 2628 2629 6/9145 9146 9147 9194 10501 10521 10524 105606.772611666688002e-21 1.4134638842407062e-18https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/200/8?format=asciiInfraredUVOpticaldefaultJ/ApJS/200/8/table2The spectroscopic observationsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
