- Description:
- We analyze the internal optical colors of a complete sample of I_814_<24mag early-type and spiral galaxies from the northern and southern Hubble Deep Fields (HDF). The subset of galaxies in the HDF-North are also investigated in the near-infrared using NICMOS photometry. We compare the central (inner 5% radius) colors of those spirals with clearly visible bulges with the integrated colors of ellipticals in our sample.

- Description:
- Using the newly available infrared images of the Hubble Deep Field in the J, H, and K bands and an optimal photometric method, we have refined a technique to estimate the redshifts of 1067 galaxies. A detailed comparison of our results with the spectroscopic redshifts in those cases where the latter are available shows that this technique gives very good results for bright enough objects [AB(814nm)<26.0]. From a study of the distribution of residuals [{Delta}z_rms_/(1+z)~0.1 at all redshifts], we conclude that the observed errors are mainly due to cosmic variance. This very important result allows for the assessment of errors in quantities to be directly or indirectly measured from the catalog. We present some of the statistical properties of the ensemble of galaxies in the catalog, and we finish by presenting a list of bright high-redshift (z~5) candidates extracted from our catalog together with recent spectroscopic redshift determinations confirming that two of them are at z=5.34 and z=5.60.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of photometry and photometric redshifts of 335 faint objects in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S) near-infrared camera and multiobject spectrograph (NICMOS) field. The analysis is based on (1) infrared images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) using the NICMOS with the F110W, F160W, and F222M filters; (2) an optical image obtained with HST using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph with no filter; and (3) optical images obtained with the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope with U, B, V, R, and I filters. The primary utility of the catalog of photometric redshifts is as a survey of faint galaxies detected in the NICMOS F160W and F222M images. The sensitivity of the survey varies significantly with position, reaching a limiting depth of AB(1.6{mu}m)~28.7 and covering 1.01arcmin^2^ to AB(1.6{mu}m)=27 and 1.05arcmin^2^ to AB(1.6{mu}m)=26.5. The catalog of photometric redshifts identifies 21 galaxies (or 6% of the total) of redshift z>5, eight galaxies (or 2% of the total) of redshift z>10, and 11 galaxies (or 3% of the total) of best-fit spectral type E/S0, of which five galaxies (or 1% of the total) are of redshift z>1.

- Description:
- We derive simple empirical color-redshift relations for z<~4 galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) using a linear function of three photometric colors (U-B, B-V, V-I). The dispersion between the estimated redshifts and the spectroscopically observed ones is small for relations derived in several separate color regimes; the dispersions range from {sigma}_z_~=0.03 to 0.1 for z<~2 galaxies, and from {sigma}_z_~=0.14 to 0.25 for z>~2 galaxies. We apply the color-redshift relations to the HDF photometric catalog and obtain estimated redshifts that are consistent with those derived from spectral template fitting methods. The advantage of these color-redshift relations is that they are simple and easy to use and do not depend on the assumption of any particular spectral templates; they provide model independent redshift estimates for z<~4 galaxies using only multiband photometry, and they apply to about 90% of all galaxies. We provide a color-based estimated redshift catalog of HDF galaxies to z<~4. We use the estimated redshifts to investigate the redshift distribution of galaxies in the HDF; we find peaks in the redshift distribution that suggest large-scale clustering of galaxies to at least z~1 and that are consistent with those identified in spectroscopic probes of the HDF.

- Description:
- The original analysis of the star formation history in the NICMOS deep images of the northern Hubble Deep Field (NHDF) is extended to the entire NHDF utilizing NICMOS and WFPC2 archival data. The roughly constant star formation rate from redshifts 16 found in this study is consistent with the original results. Star formation rates from this study, Lyman break galaxies, and submillimeter observations are now in concordance. The spike of star formation at redshift 2 due to two ultraluminous IR galaxies in the small deep NICMOS field is smoothed out in the larger area results presented here. The larger source base of this study allows comparison with predictions from hierarchical galaxy formation models. In general, the observation are consistent with the predictions. The observed luminosity functions at redshifts 16 are presented for future comparisons with theoretical galaxy evolution calculations. Mid- and far-infrared properties of the sources are also calculated and compared with observations. A candidate for the VLA source VLA 3651+1221 is discussed.

- Description:
- We present the results of an extensive analysis of the star formation rates determined from the NICMOS deep images of the northern Hubble Deep Field. We use SED template fitting photometric techniques to determine both the redshift and the extinction for each galaxy in our field. Measurement of the individual extinctions provides a correction for star formation hidden by dust obscuration. We determine star formation rates for each galaxy based on the 1500{AA} UV flux and add the rates in redshift bins of width 1.0 centered on integer redshift values.
