Resolving the Galaxies within a Giant Lya Nebula: Witnessing the Formation of a Galaxy Group?

Moire K. M. Prescott, Arjun Dey, Mark Brodwin +8

Detailed analysis of the substructure of Lya nebulae can put important constraints on the physical mechanisms at work and the properties of galaxies forming within them. Using high…

Caught in the Act: The Assembly of Massive Cluster Galaxies at z=1.62

J. M. Lotz, C. Papovich, S. M. Faber +13

We present the recent merger history of massive galaxies in a spectroscopically-confirmed proto-cluster at z=1.62. Using HST WFC3 near-infrared imaging from the Cosmic Assembly Nea…
