Abstract
We present a catalog of 74 galaxies detected serendipitously during a campaign of spectroscopic observations of the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF) and its environs. Among the identified objects are five candidate Ly-alpha emitters at z > 5, a galaxy cluster at z = 0.85, and a Chandra source with a heretofore undetermined redshift of z = 2.011. We report redshifts for 25 galaxies in the central HDF, 13 of which had no prior published spectroscopic redshift. Of the remaining 49 galaxies, 30 are located in the single-orbit HDF Flanking Fields. We discuss the redshift distribution of the serendipitous sample, which contains galaxies in the range 0.10 5 Ly-alpha emitters.
