##################################################### Read-me file for the SC4K of 3,908 Lyman-alpha emitters in COSMOS Lyman-alpha emitters selected with 16 different narrow- and medium-band filters covering z=2.2 to z=5.8 in 16 different redshift slices ###################################################### SC4K: Slicing COSMOS with 4K Lyman-alpha emitters Catalogue reference: Sobral et al. 2018, MNRAS (https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.04451, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/doi/10.1093/mnras/sty378) "Slicing COSMOS with SC4K: the evolution of typical Lya emitters and the Lya escape fraction from z~2 to z~6" ###################################################### Further information on the catalogue: The full SC4K catalogue of candidate LAEs is provided as released in Sobral et al. (2018). The SC4K catalogue contains the samples obtained with 12 COSMOS medium-bands, together with 4 narrow-band samples from Santos et al. (2016), Sobral et al. (2017b), Matthee et al. (2017b) and Perez et al. Please contact David Sobral (d.sobral@lancaster.ac.uk) for queries regarding the catalogue or the SC4K survey. #################### # Errors Errors on EW_0, Flux and Lya_Lum are computed by independently perturbing the MB (or NB) and BB magnitudes along their Gaussian uncertainties 10,000 times per source and computing the 16th and 84th percentiles of each computed quantity. Note that for faint sources EWs are affected by large uncertainties; see e.g. IA427-141. #################### # Flags The AGN boolean flag in the catalogue provides information on the matches with public X-ray (including coverage) and radio catalogues. The full catalogue is available in electronic format (fits table). ##################### Further description of the contents: Col1: ID_SC4K # ID SC4K survey in COSMOS (Sobral+18) Col2: RA # R.A.
