Star formation trends in high-redshift galaxy surveys: the elephant or the tail?
Martin Stringer, Shaun Cole, Carlos S. Frenk +1
Star formation rate and accummulated stellar mass are two fundamental physical quantities that describe the evolutionary state of a forming galaxy. Two recent attempts to determine…
Early star-forming galaxies and the reionization of the Universe
Brant E. Robertson, Richard S. Ellis, James S. Dunlop +2
Star forming galaxies represent a valuable tracer of cosmic history. Recent observational progress with Hubble Space Telescope has led to the discovery and study of the earliest-kn…
The Emission Line Properties of Gravitationally-lensed 1.5 < z < 5 Galaxies
Johan Richard, Tucker Jones, Richard S. Ellis +3
We present and analyse near-infrared spectroscopy for a sample of 28 gravitationally- lensed star-forming galaxies in the redshift range 1.5 < z < 5, observed mostly with the Keck…
Keck Spectroscopy of Faint 3<z<7 Lyman Break Galaxies:- II. A High Fraction of Line Emitters at Redshift Six
Daniel P. Stark, Richard S. Ellis, Masami Ouchi
As Lyman-alpha photons are scattered by neutral hydrogen, a change with redshift in the Lyman-alpha equivalent width distribution of distant galaxies offers a promising probe of th…
Keck Spectroscopy of Faint 3<z<7 Lyman Break Galaxies: - I. New constraints on cosmic reionisation from the luminosity and redshift-dependent fraction of Lyman-alpha emission
Daniel P. Stark, Richard S. Ellis, Kuenley Chiu +2
We present results from a new Keck spectroscopic survey of UV-faint LBGs in the redshift range 3<z<7. Combined with earlier Keck and published ESO VLT data, our sample contains mor…
