SILVERRUSH. II. First catalogs and properties of ∼2000 Lyα emitters and blobs at <i>z</i> ∼ 6–7 identified over the 14–21 deg2 sky

We present an unprecedentedly large catalog consisting of 2,230 > L* Lya emitters (LAEs) at z=5.7 and 6.6 on the 13.8 and 21.2 deg2 sky, respectively, that are identified by the SILVERRUSH program with the first narrowband imaging data of the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey. We confirm that the LAE …
