Subaru/XMM-Newton deep survey IV. (SXDS)

DOI

We present luminosity functions (LFs) and various properties of Ly{alpha} emitters (LAEs) at z=3.1, 3.7, and 5.7, in a 1deg^2^ sky of the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS) Field. We obtain a photometric sample of 858 LAE candidates based on deep Subaru Suprime-Cam imaging data and a spectroscopic sample of 84 confirmed LAEs from Subaru FOCAS and VLT VIMOS spectroscopy in a survey volume of ~10^6^Mpc^3^ with a limiting Ly{alpha} luminosity of ~3x10^42^ergs/s. We derive the LFs of the Ly{alpha} and UV continuum (~1500{AA}) for each redshift, taking into account the statistical error and the field-to-field variation. We identify six LAEs with AGN activities from our spectra combined with VLA, Spitzer, and XMM-Newton data. Among the photometrically selected LAEs at z=3.1 and 3.7, only ~1% show AGN activities, while the brightest LAEs with logL(Ly{alpha})>~43.4-43.6ergs/s appear to always host AGNs. Our LAEs are bluer in UV-continuum color than dropout galaxies, suggesting lower extinction and/or younger stellar populations.
