Description
OTELO (OSIRIS Tunable filter Emission Line Objects) is an emission-line object survey covering a spectral range between 9070 and 9280Å in a window of reduced airglow emission. The first pointing of OTELO, in the Extented Groth Strip, consists of 36 tomographic slices sampled at 6Å, obtained with the red tunable filter of OSIRIS at the Gran Telescopio de Canarias. The limiting flux detecte of ˜5×10^{-20} erg s^{-1} cm^{2} makes it the deepest survey in its category to date. Taking advantage of OTELO survey characteristics in selection of Emission Line Systems (ELS) we aim to present qualitative and quantitative morphological analysis of ELS and non-ELS in a specific redshift ranges (given by specific emission line, e.g Hα at z˜0.4 or [OIII] at z˜0.8) up to z=2 using HST-ACS high resolution images. The source selection process, Sérsic profile fitting, the visual morphology classification and a preliminary results are presented.
