Abstract
We present the ancillary data and basic physical measurements for the galaxies in the ALMA Large Program to Investigate C+ at Early Times (ALPINE) surveyāthe first large multiwavelength survey that aims at characterizing the gas and dust properties of 118 main-sequence galaxies at redshifts 4.4 < z < 5.9 via the measurement of [${\rm{C}}\,{\rm{II}}$] emission at $158\,\mu {\rm{m}}$ (64% at >3.5Ļ) and the surrounding far-infrared continuum in conjunction with a wealth of optical and near-infrared data. We outline in detail the spectroscopic data and selection of the galaxies as well as the ground- and space-based imaging products. In addition, we provide several basic measurements including stellar masses, star formation rates (SFR), rest-frame ultra-violet (UV) luminosities, UV continuum slopes (Ī²), and absorption line redshifts, as well as HĪ± emission derived from Spitzer colors. We find that the ALPINE sample is representative of the 4 < z < 6 galaxy population selected by photometric methods and only slightly biased toward bluer colors (ĪĪ² ~ 0.2). Using [${\rm{C}}\,{\rm{II}}$] as tracer of the systemic redshift (confirmed for one galaxy at z = 4.5 out of 118 for which we obtained optical [${\rm{O}}\,{\rm{III}}$]Ī»3727Ć
emission), we confirm redshifted LyĪ± emission and blueshifted absorption lines similar to findings at lower redshifts. By stacking the rest-frame UV spectra in the [${\rm{C}}\,{\rm{II}}$] rest frame, we find that the absorption lines in galaxies with high specific SFR are more blueshifted, which could be indicative of stronger winds and outflows.
