The IDEOS redshift catalogue

The first public version (v1.0; Nov. 17,  2015) of the catalogue of redshifts for the Infrared Database of Extragalactic Observables from Spitzer (IDEOS) can be found below in several machine-readable formats. We will periodically update the catalogue to include new redshift measurements and error corrections.

The efforts of identification of the Spitzer-IRS sources and the compilation and validation of the redshifts in the catalogue are described in detail in Hernán-Caballero et al. (2016), MNRAS, 445, 1796. Please cite this paper if IDEOS source identifications, source positions or redshifts are used in your work.

The tables below contain redshifts for 3532 Spitzer/IRS observations corresponding to the 3361 distinct sources that comprise the IDEOS sample.

Individual spectra are identified by their Astronomy Observing Request (AOR) and Cluster identifiers, which are combined in the AOR_ID field. For non-clustered observations, the cluster ID is 0.

Examples:  AOR_ID = 24180224_5 corresponds to the 5th pointing in AOR 24180224.
AOR_ID = 14759424_0 corresponds to the single observation in AOR 14759424

The target of the observation is identified by the default name of the source in the NASA Extragalactic Database (NED). For the few Spitzer-IRS sources with no entry in NED, we provide the source name in one of several infrared photometry catalogues (see Hernán-Caballero et al. 2016 for the details on the source identification).
Note that there is no unique correspondence between AOR ID and NED ID, because some sources were observed on multiple epochs (and therefore have several entries in the table, with different AOR IDs).
