Morphological Number Counts of Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field South

We present a study of photometric properties of the galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDFS) based on the released WFPC2 images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We have classified about 340 galaxies with $I<26$ mag in the HDFS as well as about 400 galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDFN) using the visual classification supplemented by inspection of the surface brightness profiles of the galaxies. Galaxy population statistics and morphological number counts for the HDFS are found to be similar to be those for the HDFN. We have also determined photometrically the redshifts of the galaxies with $I<26$ mag in the HDFS and the HDFN using the empirical training set method. Redshift distribution, color-redshift relation, and magnitude-redshift for each type of galaxies are investigated.
