The SSA22 HI Tomography Survey (SSA22-HIT). I. Dataset and compiled redshift catalog.
2021
We conducted a deep spectroscopic survey, named SSA22-HIT, in the SSA22 field with DEIMOS on the Keck telescope, designed to tomographically map of high-$z$ HI gas through analysis of Ly$\alpha$ absorption in background galaxies' spectra. In total, 203 galaxies were spectroscopically confirmed at $2.5 2$ is useful for various applications, and it is made publicly available. Our SSA22-HIT survey has increased by approximately twice the number of spectroscopic redshifts of sources at $z > 3.2$ in the observed field. This greatly benefits the HI tomographic mapping of the proto-cluster region at $z = 3.1$, which we present in a parallel study. From a comparison with publicly available redshift catalogs, we show that our compiled redshift catalog in the SSA22 field is comparable to those among major extra-galactic survey fields in terms of a combination of wide area and high surface number density of objects at $z > 2$.
