The Rest-Frame FUV Morphologies of Star-Forming Galaxies at z ~ 1.5 and z ~ 4

J. M. Lotz, P. Madau, M. Giavalisco +2

We apply a new approach to quantifying galaxy morphology and identifying galaxy mergers to the rest-frame far-ultraviolet images of 82 z ~ 4 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) and 55 1.2…
