Spectroscopic observations obtained using VLT/FORS2 are presented for objects in 14 survey fields of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS).
The fields contain galaxy clusters at z=0.40-0.96. The objects in the catalogues are either galaxies (which can be cluster members or fields galaxies), foreground stars, or objects for which no redshift could be determined.
For a 15th field (1122.9-1136) which is part of the paper, no data are published, since very little data was obtained.
We present tables of RA and DE positions for an equinox of 2000 (J2000, epoch 2001), I-band magnitudes for an aperture of radius 1", spectroscopic redshifts for objects in the 14 fields, and cluster membership and targeting flags to indicate whether the object is a cluster member and/or was targeted to be a cluster member respectively.
The 'main' table contains one entry per unique object, and this is the table people normally should use. The 'supp' table contains possible extra redshifts obtained. If an object was observed N times, the best redshift (decided from a number of rules) is put in 'main' and the remaining N-1 redshifts are put in 'supp'. Cl 1238.5-1144 has no data in supp.dat file.
The data tables have been prepared so that they can be read both using tools that expect data columns separated by white space (e.g. the UNIX tool awk) and tools that expect things to be at fixed character/byte locations in the file (e.g. the UNIX tool cut).
The contents of the data tables are fully described in Sect. 4.3 of the paper (including the sample data in Table 4 in the paper). Some of the salient features are repeated as Notes.
Finally, note that spectroscopic observations for 5 other EDisCS fields (1040.7-1155, 1054.4-1146, 1054.7-1245, 1216.8-1201 and 1232.5-1250 ) were presented in a previous paper (Halliday et al., 2004, Cat. J/A+A/427/397) but note that the format of the published data tables for that paper is not fully identical to the format used for this paper.
