Abstract
The majority of the observations (31 targets; 90 per cent of the sample) were obtained from follow-up spectroscopic observations of the High Redshift Emission Line Survey (HiZELS; Geach et al. 2008MNRAS.388.1473G; Best et al. 2013ASSP...37..235B), which targets Hα-emitting galaxies in five narrow (Δz=0.03) redshift slices: z=0.40, 0.84, 1.47, 2.23, and 3.33 (Sobral et al. 2013MNRAS.428.1128S, Cat. J/MNRAS/428/1128). This panoramic survey provides a luminosity-limited sample of Hα and [OIII] emitters spanning z=0.4-3.3. The other 3 galaxies were taken from the KMOS Galaxy Evolution Survey (KGES; Tiley et al. 2021MNRAS.506..323T), a sample of ~300 star-forming galaxies at z~1.5. Exploiting the wide survey area, the targets from the HiZELS survey were selected to lie within 25.0arcsec of a natural guide star to allow for adaptive optics capabilities. The sample spans the full range of the rest-frame (U-V) and rest-frame (V-J) colour space as well as the stellar mass and star formation rate plane of the HiZELS parent sample (Table A1). The data were collected from 2012 August to 2017 December from a series of observing runs on the SINFONI (VLT), NIFS (Gemini North Observatory), and OSIRIS (Keck) integral field spectrographs (see Table B1 for details). Finally, a summary of the morphological properties for our sample is shown in Table C1. (3 data files)....
