Abstract
We present initial results from the Subaru Strategic Program (SSP) with Hyper
Suprime-Cam (HSC) on a comprehensive survey of emission line galaxies at
$z<1.5$. In the first data release of the HSC-SSP, two narrowband data (NB816
and NB921) down to 25.6--25.9 mag at $5 \sigma$ are available over 17 deg$^2$,
which allow us to construct unprecedentedly large samples of 18,792 H$\alpha$
emitters at $z \approx$ 0.25 and 0.40, 16,051 OIII emitters at $z \approx$
0.63 and 0.84, and 28,157 OII emitters at $z \approx$ 1.19 and 1.47. We
reveal the cosmic web on a scale of more than 50 comoving Mpc where some galaxy
clusters identified by red sequence galaxies are located on the intersection of
filamentary structures of star-forming galaxies. The luminosity functions for
the emission line galaxies are consistent with the previous studies, except for
the bright end of the luminosity functions for the H$\alpha$ emitters at $z
\approx$ 0.25--0.40. This is likely due to small survey volumes probed by
previous studies which is sensitive to the cosmic variance. The wide field
coverage of the data allows us to overcome the cosmic variance and derive the
bright end of the luminosity functions more precisely than the previous
studies. We also investigate the stellar mass functions for the H$\alpha$
emitters at $z \approx$ 0.25--0.40 and find that they are consistent with those
from the stellar mass limited samples. Thus, our samples of the emission line
galaxies are the representative ones of star-forming galaxies at the redshifts
probed.
