We present first results and catalogs from the HST-Hyperion survey. This survey has collected 50 orbits of WFC3/F160W imaging and WFC3/G141 grism spectroscopy in the most overdense regions of the Hyperion proto-supercluster at $z\sim2.45$, which are analyzed in conjunction with the adjacent 56 orbits of WFC3/F140W imaging and WFC3/G141 grism spectroscopy from the 3D-HST survey. Sources were identified and spectra extracted using GRIZLI, which subsequently fit the combined grism data with object-matched photometric data from the COSMOS2020 catalog to obtain a redshift and best-fit spectral model. Each source was then visually inspected by multiple team members and quality flags were assigned. A total of 12814 objects with $m_{HST} \leq 25.0$ were inspected, of which 5629 (44%) have reliable redshifts from the grism data, which are sensitive to emission lines at a level of $\sim8.8 \times10^{-18}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ ($1\sigma$). Comparison to high-quality ground-based spectroscopic redshifts yields a scatter of $\sigma_{\rm NMAD} = 0.0016$. The resulting catalogs contain 125 confirmed members of the Hyperion structure within $2.40<z<2.53$, with an additional 71 confirmed galaxies in projection within $2.35<z<2.65$. The redshift, stellar population, and line flux catalogs, as well as all grism spectra, are publicly available.

The HST-Hyperion Survey: Environmental Imprints on the Stellar-Mass Function at z~2.5
Stellar mass functions in the peaks of the Hyperion protostructure at z~2.5 show a mass-dependent excess relative to the field, with ~10x enhancement at log(M*/M⊙)~11 versus ~3.5x at log(M*/M⊙)~9.5.
