Optical Selection of Galaxies at Redshifts 1<z<3
Kurt L. Adelberger, Charles C. Steidel, Alice E. Shapley +4
Few galaxies have been found between the redshift ranges z < ~1 probed by magnitude-limited surveys and z > ~3 probed by Lyman-break surveys. Comparison of galaxy samples at lower…
A Survey of Star-Forming Galaxies in the z=1.4-2.5 `Redshift Desert': Overview
C. C. Steidel, A. E. Shapley, M. Pettini +4
We present the first results of a large-scale survey, using the UV/blue sensitive LRIS-B spectrograph on the Keck I telescope, of galaxies in the redshift interval 1.4<z<2.5, often…
The faint end of the QSO luminosity function at z=3
Matthew P. Hunt, Charles C. Steidel, Kurt L. Adelberger +1
We present the first measurement of the faint end of the QSO luminosity function at z=3. The QSOs, which range from M_1450 = -21 to M_1450 = -27, were discovered in 17 fields total…
Star-forming Galaxies in the 'Redshift Desert'
C. Steidel, A. Shapley, M. Pettini +4
We describe results of optical and near-IR observations of a large spectroscopic sample of star-forming galaxies photometrically-selected to lie in the redshift range 1.4 < z < 2.5…
A Redshift Determination for XRF 020903: First Spectroscopic Observations of an X-Ray Flash
A. M. Soderberg, S. R. Kulkarni, E. Berger +10
We report the discovery of optical and radio afterglow emission from the extremely soft X-ray flash, XRF 020903. Our spectroscopic observations provide the first redshift for an X-…
H-alpha Spectroscopy of Galaxies at z>2: Kinematics and Star Formation
Dawn K. Erb, Alice E. Shapley, Charles C. Steidel +5
We present near-infrared spectroscopy of H-alpha emission lines in a sample of 16 star-forming galaxies at redshifts 2.0<z<2.6. Our targets are drawn from a large sample of galaxie…
