The Most Distant Galaxies
Hyron Spinrad
I review selected current observations of distant galaxies and our interpretation of the fragile (and occasionally contradictory) data. Galaxies at the ``contemporary limit'' of te…
The Large Area Lyman Alpha Survey
James E. Rhoads, Sangeeta Malhotra, Arjun Dey +3
The Lyman- line is expected to be strong in the presence of active star formation and the absence of dust, making it a good tool for finding chemically primitive galaxies in the…
Stellar Populations and Galaxy Morphology at High Redshift
Andrew Bunker, Hyron Spinrad, Daniel Stern +4
In this article we investigate the morphology and stellar populations of high-redshift galaxies through multi-waveband HST imaging and ground-based spatially-resolved spectroscopy.…
The Fraction of High Redshift Galaxies in Deep Infrared Selected Field Galaxy Samples
P. Eisenhardt, R. Elston, S. A. Stanford +4
Recent results on the incidence of red galaxies in a > 100 square arcminute field galaxy survey to K=20 and a K=22 survey of the Hubble Deep Field are presented. We argue that a si…
A Serendipitous Search for Hy-Redshift Ly Emission: A Case Study of Two Sources at
Curtis Manning, Daniel Stern, Hyron Spinrad +1
In the course of our on-going search for serendipitous high-redshift LyA emission in deep archival Keck spectra, we discovered two LyA emission line candidates in a moderate disper…
NICMOS Imaging of High-Redshift Radio Galaxies
A. Zirm, A. Dey, M. Dickinson +6
We have obtained near-infrared (1.6 micron) images of 11 powerful 3CR radio galaxies at redshifts 0.8 < z < 1.8 using NICMOS on board HST. The high angular resolution permits a det…
