A 16 deg${}^2$ survey of emission-line galaxies at z<1.5 in HSC-SSP PDR1

Abstract

We present initial results from the Subaru Strategic Program (SSP) with Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) on a comprehensive survey of emission-line galaxies at z<1.5 based on narrowband (NB) imaging. The first Public Data Release (PDR1) provides us with data from two NB filters, specifically NB816 and NB921 over 5.7 deg${}^2$ and 16.2 deg${}^2$ respectively. The $5\sigma$ limiting magnitudes are 25.2 (UDeep layer, 1.4 deg${}^2$) and 24.8 (Deep layer, 4.3 deg${}^2$) mag in NB816, and 25.1 (UDeep, 2.9 deg${}^2$) and 24.6--24.8 (Deep, 13.3 deg${}^2$) mag in NB921. The wide-field imaging allows us to construct unprecedentedly large samples of 8,054 H$\alpha$ emitters at z ~ 0.25 and 0.40, 8,656 [OIII] emitters at z ~ 0.63 and 0.84, and 16,877 [OII] emitters at z ~ 1.19 and 1.47. We map the cosmic web on scales out to about 50 comoving Mpc that includes galaxy clusters, identified by red sequence galaxies, located at the intersection of filamentary structures of star-forming galaxies. The luminosity functions of emission-line galaxies are measured with precision and consistent with published studies. The wide field coverage of the data enables us to measure the luminosity functions up to brighter luminosities than previous studies. The comparison of the luminosity functions between the different HSC-SSP fields suggests that a survey volume of $>5\times 10^5$ Mpc${}^3$ is essential to overcome cosmic variance. Since the current data have not reached the full depth expected for the HSC-SSP, the color cut in i-NB816 or z-NB921 induces a bias towards star-forming galaxies with large equivalent widths, primarily seen in the stellar mass functions for the H$\alpha$ emitters at z ~ 0.25--0.40. Even so, the emission-line galaxies clearly cover a wide range of luminosity, stellar mass, and environment, thus demonstrating the usefulness of the NB data from the HSC-SSP to investigate star-forming galaxies at z<1.5.
