Description
We present line measurements and physical properties of a sample of 165 extreme emission-line galaxies (EELGs) in the zCOSMOS 20k-Bright Survey (Lilly et al., 2009, Cat. J/ApJS/184/218). The zCOSMOS spectra consist of ~1h integrations in the medium resolution LRRED grism setting (R~600 with 2.5{AA}/pixel), covering a wavelength range 5550<{lambda}<9650{AA}. Measured emission-line fluxes are given in units of 10^-17^erg/s/cm^2^. Flux errors have been derived following Perez-Montero et al. (2013A&A...549A..25P) and Amorin et al. (2012ApJ...749..185A and 2012ApJ...754L..22A). No extinction correction has been applied to these fluxes. For each galaxy the reddening constant, c(H{beta}), is presented. These values and their corresponding uncertainties have been derived from the H{alpha}/H{beta} or H{gamma}/H{beta} ratios, whenever possible. A reddening constant derived from the SED best-fitting was adopted for (a) those galaxies where the computation of c(H{beta}) from emission lines is not possible because of the lack of lines, or (b) the corresponding line ratio produces a negative extinction correction (i.e., Ha/Hb<2.82 or Hg/Hb<0.47, assuming Case B recombination with T_e_=2*10^4K, n_e_=100cm^-3^). Stellar mass and 1{sigma} uncertainties have been obtained from SED fitting (Bolzonella et al., 2010A&A...524A..76B) after removal of the flux contribution from strong emission lines.
