Luminous and High Stellar Mass Candidate Galaxies at z ~ 8 Discovered in CANDELS
Haojing Yan, Steven L. Finkelstein, Kuang-Han Huang +26
One key goal of the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey is to track galaxy evolution back to z ~ 8. Its two-tiered "wide and deep"…
The evolving slope of the stellar mass function at 0.6 <= z < 4.5 from deep WFC3 data
P. Santini, A. Fontana, A. Grazian +12
We used Early Release Science (ERS) observations taken with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) in the GOODS-S field to study the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) at 0.6<=z<4.5. Deep…
The blue UV slopes of z~4 Lyman break galaxies: implications for the corrected star formation rate density
M. Castellano, A. Fontana, A. Grazian +13
We plan to analyse dust extinction in Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) by introducing a new and more reliable approach to their selection and to the characterization of their distributi…
Spectroscopic confirmation of z~7 LBGs: probing the earliest galaxies and the epoch of reionization
L. Pentericci, A. Fontana, E. Vanzella +11
We present the final results from our ultra-deep spectroscopic campaign with FORS2 at the ESO/VLT for the confirmation of z~7 "z--band dropout" candidates selected from our VLT/Haw…
Discovery of a high-z protocluster with tunable filters: the case of 6C0140+326 at z=4.4
E. Kuiper, N. A. Hatch, B. P. Venemans +7
We present the first results obtained using a tunable narrowband filter in the search for high-z protoclusters. Using the recently commissioned red tunable filter on the Gran Teles…
Evolution of the observed Ly-alpha luminosity function from z = 6.5 to z = 7.7: evidence for the epoch of reionization ?
B. Clément, J. -G. Cuby, F. Courbin +17
Aims. Ly-alpha emitters (LAEs) can be detected out to very high redshifts during the epoch of reionization. The evolution of the LAE luminosity function with redshift is a direct p…
CANDELS: The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey - The Hubble Space Telescope Observations, Imaging Data Products and Mosaics
Anton M. Koekemoer, S. M. Faber, Henry C. Ferguson +120
This paper describes the Hubble Space Telescope imaging data products and data reduction procedures for the Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS). This…
CANDELS: The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey
Norman A. Grogin, Dale D. Kocevski, S. M. Faber +104
The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) is designed to document the first third of galactic evolution, over the approximate redshift (z) range…
A low escape fraction of ionizing photons of L>L* Lyman break galaxies at z=3.3
K. Boutsia, A. Grazian, E. Giallongo +12
We present an upper limit for the relative escape fraction (f_{esc}^{rel}) of ionizing radiation at z~3.3 using a sample of 11 Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) with deep imaging in the…
A SINFONI view of flies in the Spiderweb: a galaxy cluster in the making
E. Kuiper, N. A. Hatch, G. K. Miley +8
The environment of the high-z radio galaxy PKS 1138-262 at z~2.2 is a prime example of a forming galaxy cluster. We use deep SINFONI data to perform a detailed study of the kinemat…
The large-scale structure in the Chandra Deep Field South
Dario Trevese, Fabrizio Fiore, Enrico Piconcelli +4
We have studied the large scale distribution of matter in the Chandra Deep Field South on the basis of photometric redshifts and we have identifed several over-densities between re…
H-alpha emitters in z~2 proto-clusters: evidence for faster evolution in dense environments
N. A. Hatch, J. D. Kurk, L. Pentericci +4
This is a study of H-alpha emitters in two dense galaxy proto-clusters surrounding radio galaxies at z~2. We show that the proto-cluster surrounding MRC 1138-262 contains 14+/-2 ti…
An X-ray underluminous cluster of galaxies in the 4Ms CDFS observations
M. Castellano, L. Pentericci, N. Menci +8
[Abridged] We use the large public spectroscopic database available in the GOODS-South field to estimate the dynamical mass and the virialization status of cluster ClG 0332-2747 at…
Optical-NIR spectra of quasars close to reionization (z~ 6)
V. D'Odorico, G. Cupani, S. Cristiani +14
X-shooter, with its characteristics of resolution, spectral coverage and efficiency, provides a unique opportunity to obtain spectra of the highest-redshift quasars (z ~ 6) that wi…
