The Sightline to Q2343-BX415: Clues to Galaxy Formation in a Quasar Environment
Samantha A. Rix, Max Pettini, Charles C. Steidel +4
(Abridged) We have discovered a strong DLA coincident in redshift with the faint QSO Q2343-BX415 (R = 20.2, z_em = 2.57393). Follow-up observations at intermediate spectral resolut…

Multi-Wavelength Constraints on the Cosmic Star Formation History from Spectroscopy: the Rest-Frame UV, H-alpha, and Infrared Luminosity Functions at Redshifts 1.9<z<3.4
Naveen A. Reddy, Charles C. Steidel, Max Pettini +4
We use a sample of rest-frame UV selected and spectroscopically observed galaxies at redshifts 1.9<z<3.4, combined with ground-based spectroscopic H-alpha and Spitzer MIPS 24 micro…

The Physical Nature of Rest-UV Galaxy Morphology During the Peak Epoch of Galaxy Formation
David R. Law, Charles C. Steidel, Dawn K. Erb +5
Motivated by the irregular and little-understood morphologies of z ~ 2 - 3 galaxies, we use non-parametric coefficents to quantify the morphologies of 216 galaxies which have been…
