A Study of Interstellar Gas and Stars in the Gravitationally Lensed Galaxy `The Cosmic Eye' from Rest-Frame Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

Anna M. Quider, Alice E. Shapley, Max Pettini +2

We report the results of a study of the rest-frame UV spectrum of the Cosmic Eye, a luminous Lyman break galaxy at z=3.07331 gravitationally lensed by a factor of 25. The spectrum,…

The Relationship Between Stellar Populations and Lyman Alpha Emission in Lyman Break Galaxies

Katherine A. Kornei, Alice E. Shapley, Dawn K. Erb +4

We present the results of a photometric and spectroscopic survey of 321 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z ~ 3 to investigate systematically the relationship between Lya emission and…

On the dependence between UV luminosity and Lyman-alpha equivalent width in high redshift galaxies

Kim K. Nilsson, Ole Moeller-Nilsson, Palle Moeller +2

We show that with the simple assumption of no correlation between the Ly-alpha equivalent width and the UV luminosity of a galaxy, the observed distribution of high redshift galaxi…

The Ultraviolet Spectrum of the Gravitationally Lensed Galaxy `The Cosmic Horseshoe': A Close-up of a Star-forming Galaxy at z = 2

Anna M. Quider, Max Pettini, Alice E. Shapley +1

Taking advantage of strong gravitational lensing, we have recorded the rest-frame UV spectrum of the z = 2.38115 galaxy `The Cosmic Horseshoe' (J1148+1930) at higher resolution and…

Rest-Frame Optical Spectra of Three Strongly Lensed Galaxies at z~2

Kevin N. Hainline, Alice E. Shapley, Katherine A. Kornei +4

We present Keck II NIRSPEC rest-frame optical spectra for three recently discovered lensed galaxies: the Cosmic Horseshoe (z = 2.38), the Clone (z = 2.00), and SDSS J090122.37+1814…

The SINS survey: SINFONI Integral Field Spectroscopy of z ~ 2 Star-forming Galaxies

N. M. Forster Schreiber, R. Genzel, N. Bouche +27

We present the SINS survey with SINFONI of high redshift galaxies. With 80 objects observed and 63 detected, SINS is the largest survey of spatially resolved gas kinematics, morpho…
