Medium-resolution spectroscopy of galaxies with redshifts 2.3 < z < 3.5
D. Mehlert, C. Tapken, I. Appenzeller +3
Using FORS2 at the ESO VLT we obtained medium resolution (R ~ 2000) spectra of 12 galaxies with 2.37 < z < 3.40 in the FORS Deep Field. Two individual spectra with good S/N and a c…
Lyman-alpha emission galaxies at a redshift of z = 5.7 in the FORS Deep Field
C. Tapken, I. Appenzeller, A. Gabasch +7
We present the results of a search for Lyman-alpha emission galaxies at z~ 5.7 in the FORS Deep Field. The objective of this study is to improve the faint end of the luminosity fun…
The evolution of the luminosity functions in the FORS Deep Field from low to high redshift: II. The red bands
A. Gabasch, U. Hopp, G. Feulner +12
We present the redshift evolution of the restframe galaxy luminosity function (LF) in the red r', i', and z' bands as derived from the FORS Deep Field (FDF). Using the deep and hom…
The nature of the Lyman-alpha emission region of FDF-4691
C. Tapken, I. Appenzeller, D. Mehlert +2
In order to study the origin of the strong Lyman-alpha emission of high-redshift starburst galaxies we observed and modeled the emission of the z = 3.304 galaxy FDF-4691 (rest-fram…
The FORS Deep Field: Field selection, photometric observations and photometric catalog
J. Heidt, I. Appenzeller, A. Gabasch +21
The FORS Deep Field project is a multi-colour, multi-object spectroscopic investigation of an approx. 7 times 7 region near the south galactic pole based mostly on observations car…
Evidence for chemical evolution in the spectra of high redshift galaxies
D. Mehlert, S. Noll, I. Appenzeller +14
Using a sample of 57 VLT FORS spectra in the redshift range 1.37<z<3.40 (selected mainly from the FORS Deep Field survey) and a comparison sample with 36 IUE spectra of local (z ~…
