Lyman Break Galaxies in the VLT/FORS2 spectroscopic campaign in the GOODS-S field
E. Vanzella, S. Cristiani, M. Dickinson +5
We present initial results from our ongoing campaign of spectroscopic identifications of Lyman--break galaxies (LBGs) at z ~ 4, 5 and 6 with FORS2 at the ESO VLT. The sample of LBG…

The luminosity function of high-redshift QSOs
Fabio Fontanot, Stefano Cristiani, Pierluigi Monaco +5
We measure the luminosity function of QSOs in the redshift range 3.5 < z < 5.2 for the absolute magnitude interval -21 < M_{145} < -28. Suitable criteria are defined to select fain…

Tracing the evolution of massive galaxies up to z \sim 3
M. Longhetti, P. Saracco, S. Cristiani +4
A census of massive galaxies at redshift increasingly higher than 1 may provide strong constraints on the history of mass assembly and of star formation. Here we report on t…
