Notes. Each line defines a further sub-sample of the original Nilsson et al. (2009a) sample (first lines; divided into the originally published sample and the C-list, or “unlikely” candidates from that paper), divided into the total sample, the sample without GALEX and AGN detections, and the GALEX only, AGN only and combined GALEX and AGN detected LAEs. The “unlikely” candidates were not analysed for AGN and GALEX detections prior to spectroscopic confirmation. The third to sixth rows show the number of candidates put on slits, and those that were not excluded. The row titled “Total after spec.” indicates the resulting sample after the spectroscopy, summing those objects that are accepted by the spectroscopy with those without spectroscopic data, and the following row indicates the result of the new AGN detections (Sect. 2.3). The final rows show how many of each sub-sample were fitted for and which had good in the fit (Sect. 4.3).
