Notes.

(a)

Equivalent depth in iAB using a flat spectrum transformation from the original survey depth;

(b)

CS: Colour Selection, varies from survey to survey;

(c)

the VVDS-Wide includes all objects with 17.5 ≤ IAB ≤ 22.5 in all 5 VVDS fields;

(d)

includes all objects in the 3 VVDS-Wide fields (1003+01, 1400+05 and 2217+00), in the VVDS-Deep fields (0226 and ECDFS), in the VVDS-Ultra-Deep field (0226-04), and the LAE emitters, as described in Table 1.
