The Sightline to Q2343-BX415: Clues to Galaxy Formation in a Quasar Environment

Samantha A. Rix, Max Pettini, Charles C. Steidel +4

(Abridged) We have discovered a strong DLA coincident in redshift with the faint QSO Q2343-BX415 (R = 20.2, z_em = 2.57393). Follow-up observations at intermediate spectral resolut…

H-alpha Observations of a Large Sample of Galaxies at z~2: Implications for Star Formation in High Redshift Galaxies

Dawn K. Erb, Charles C. Steidel, Alice E. Shapley +3

Using H-alpha spectra of 114 rest-frame UV-selected galaxies at z~2, we compare inferred star formation rates (SFRs) with those determined from the UV continuum luminosity. After c…

X-ray properties of Lyman Break Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field North region

K. Nandra, R. F. Mushotzky, K. A. Arnaud +5

We describe the X-ray properties of a large sample of Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) in the region of the Hubble Deep Field North, derived from the 1 Ms public Chandra observ…

Deep Observations of Lyman Break Galaxies

Max Pettini, Charles C. Steidel, Alice E. Shapley +5

We summarise the main results of recent work on the Lyman break galaxy population which takes advantage of newly commissioned instrumentation on the VLT and Keck telescopes to push…

Lyman Break Galaxies at z>4 and the Evolution of the UV Luminosity Density at High Redshift

C. C. Steidel, K. L. Adelberger, M. Giavalisco +2

We present initial results of a survey for star-forming galaxies in the redshift range 3.8 < z < 4.5. This sample consists of a photometric catalog of 244 galaxies culled from a to…

The Host Galaxy of the Gamma--Ray Burst 971214

S. C. Odewahn, S. G. Djorgovski, S. R. Kulkarni +13

We report on Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the host galaxy of GRB 971214, about four months after the burst. The redshift of the proposed host galaxy at z=3.418, com…
