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…
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…
Spectroscopic confirmation of two Lyman break galaxies at redshift beyond 7
E. Vanzella, L. Pentericci, A. Fontana +12
We report the spectroscopic confirmation of two Lyman break galaxies at redshift > 7. The galaxies were observed as part of an ultra-deep spectroscopic campaign with FORS2 at the E…
The bright end of the z ~ 7 UV Luminosity Function from a wide and deep HAWK-I survey
M. Castellano, A. Fontana, D. Paris +23
(Abridged) We present here the second half of an ESO Large Programme, which exploits the unique combination of area and sensitivity provided in the near-IR by the camera Hawk-I at…
Evidence for a fast evolution of the UV luminosity function beyond redshift 6 from a deep HAWK-I survey of the GOODS-S field
M. Castellano, A. Fontana, K. Boutsia +21
We perform a deep search for galaxies in the redshift range 6.5<z<7.5, to measure the evolution of the number density of luminous galaxies in this redshift range and derive useful…
Nuclear activity in nearby galaxies: Mid-infrared imaging with the VLT
R. Siebenmorgen, M. Haas, E. Pantin +7
Dust enshrouded activity can ideally be studied by mid-infrared (MIR) observations. In order to explore the AGN versus star forming origin of the nuclear MIR emission of galaxies,…
