AstroSat UV Deep Field
AstroSat UV Deep Field primarily consists of two fields: AUDF south – centered on the GOODS-south while AUDF north – centered on the GOODS-north. The observations for AUDFsouth were carried out initially in two fields each with 50 kilo sec. (planned, on source) and in two filters, F154W and N242W of AstroSat/UVIT during the month of Oct. 2016. AUDF north was observed with 50 kilo sec each in in three filters – F154W, N242W and N245M. One of the major science goals of these observations was to search for the Lyman continuum radiation from star-forming galaxies at redshift 1< z < 2 and constrain the UV LF below z<1.
