Abstract

The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) was a multi-cycle treasury program on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that surveyed a total area of ~0.25 deg2 with ~900 HST orbits spread across five fields over three years. . . .

Funding Information

The CANDELS program was supported by NASA through grant HST-GO-12060, and the SN-MCT program through grant HST-GO-12099 from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by Associated Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-26555. Support for S.A.R. was provided by NASA through Hubble Fellowship grant HST-HF-51312. Support for this research at Rutgers University was provided in part by NSF CAREER award AST-0847157 to S.W.J. The Dark Cosmology Centre is supported by the Danish National Research Foundation. R.P.K. thanks the National Science Foundation for AST-1211196, and the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation for support. This work was supported by NASA Keck PI Data Awards (to Rutgers University, PI: S.W.J.), administered by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute. J.M.S. is supported by an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship under award AST-1302771. A.V.F. is also grateful for the support of the National Science Foundation (NSF) grant AST-1211916, the TABASGO Foundation, and the Christopher R. Redlich Fund.

This research was based primarily on observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, delivered by the data archive team at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), which is operated by the association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. under NASA contract NAS 5-26555. We used the HST Science Archive hosted by the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC/NRC/CSA), as well as the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST).

This work is based in part on observations made with ESO telescopes at the La Silla Paranal Observatory under program IDs 086.A-0660 and 088.A-0708.

Some of the data presented herein were obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory from telescope time allocated to NASA through the agency's scientific partnership with the California Institute of Technology and the University of California. The Observatory was made possible by the generous financial support of the W. M. Keck Foundation. The authors wish to recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that the summit of Mauna Kea has always had within the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain.

This work is based in part on observations obtained at the Gemini Observatory, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under a cooperative agreement with the NSF on behalf of the Gemini partnership: the National Science Foundation (United States), the National Research Council (Canada), CONICYT (Chile), the Australian Research Council (Australia), Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (Brazil) and Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Productiva (Argentina). Contributing data came from Gemini programs GN-2011A-Q-14, GN-2011B-Q-18, GN-2012A-Q-32, GN-2013A-Q-25, GS-2011A-Q-16, GS-2011B-Q-18, GS-2012A-Q-17, and GS-2013A-Q-19.

This research has made use of the VO Datascope, developed with the support of the National Science Foundation under Cooperative Agreement AST0122449 with the Johns Hopkins University, and hosted by the Astrophysics Science Division and the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC), a service of Goddard Space Flight Center and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. This research has made use of the SIMBAD database, operated at CDS, Strasbourg, France. This research has made use of NASA's Astrophysics Data System Bibliographic Services. This research made use of Astropy, a community-developed core Python package for Astronomy (Astropy Collaboration et al. 2013).
