Constraints on the Early Formation of Field Elliptical Galaxies

A. J. Barger, L. L. Cowie, N. Trentham +4

We present the results of an HK' wide-field survey encompassing the Hubble Deep Field and its Flanking Fields. Our wide-field survey provides uniform coverage of an area 61.8 squar…

The Density of Lyman-alpha Emitters at Very High Redshift

Esther M. Hu, Lennox L. Cowie, Richard G. McMahon

We describe narrowband and spectroscopic searches for emission-line star forming galaxies in the redshift range 3 to 6 with the 10 m Keck II Telescope. These searches yield a subst…

The Photometric Redshift Distribution and Evolutionary Properties of Galaxies up to z= 4.5 in the Field of the Quasar BR1202-0725

E. Giallongo, S. D'Odorico, A. Fontana +4

We present a deep BVrIK multicolor catalog of galaxies in the field of the high redshift (z=4.7) quasar BR 1202-0725. Reliable colors have been measured for galaxies selected down…

Pushing Back Studies of Galaxies Toward the Dark Ages: High-Redshift Lyman alpha Emission-Line Galaxies in the Field

Esther M. Hu

Lyman alpha emission presents a means of identifying very high redshift galaxies, provided such objects can be reliably distinguished from foreground emission-line galaxies. Here w…

High-z Lyman-alpha Emitters. I. A Blank-Field Search for Objects Near Redshift z=3.4 in and around the Hubble Deep Field and the Hawaii Deep Field SSA22

Lennox L. Cowie, Esther M. Hu

We present deep narrow-band (lambda = 5390 Angstroms, delta lambda = 77 Angstroms) and multi-color observations of the Hubble Deep Field and the Hawaii Deep Field SSA22 obtained wi…
