NIR Follow-Up of the VVDS 02hr Field: First Results
Abstract
We present a new K-band survey covering 623 arcmin2 in the VVDS 0226-0430 deep field down to a limiting magnitude KVega ≤ 20.5. We use the spectroscopic sample extracted from this new K-band catalogue to assess the effectiveness of optical-near infrared color selections in identifying extreme classes of objects at high redshift.
