Emission-line galaxies at z\sim1 from near-IR HST Slitless Spectroscopy: metallicities, star formation rates and redshift confirmations from VLT/FORS2 spectroscopy

We follow up emission line galaxies identified through the near-infrared slitless HST/WFC3 WISP survey with VLT/FORS2 optical spectroscopy. Over 4 WISP fields, we targetted 85 of 138 line emission objects at 0.4<z<2 identified in WFC3 spectroscopy. Half the galaxies are fainter than H_{AB}=24mag, and would not have been included in...
