Notes. 

(a)

Typical magnitude limit of parent spectroscopic survey in AB system. Since Wuyts et al. (2008) collect a variety of spectroscopic redshifts from a large number of surveys targeting the CDF-S, the quoted limiting magnitude is just indicative. The redshifts for the Basu-Zych et al. (2011) sample are photometric estimates, therefore the limit of their survey is given. The VIMOS and FORS campaign targets were chosen not only based on a magnitude limit but also according to the color criteria explained further in the text.

(b)

Time since the Big Bang according to the cosmology defined in Sect. 1 evaluated at median redshift of the bin.
