Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey X: A Redshift Survey in the Region of the Hubble Deep Field North

Judith Cohen, David Hogg, Roger Blandford +5

A redshift survey has been carried out in the region of the Hubble Deep Field North using the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph at the Keck Observatory. The resulting redshift ca…

Galaxies at z>5: The View from Hawaii

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

We review the properties of z>5 galaxies studied with HST and with the Keck telescopes, and discuss the detectability of Lyman alpha emission-line galaxies out to z~6.5 based on th…

The diversity of SCUBA-selected galaxies

Rob Ivison, Ian Smail, Amy Barger +5

We present extensive observations of a sample of distant, submm galaxies detected in the field of the massive cluster lens, A1835, using SCUBA. Taken in conjunction with earlier ob…

High Resolution Radio Imaging of Distant Submillimeter Galaxies

E. A. Richards, F. E. Bauer, A. J. Barger +1

Using a combination of radio and optical imaging at 0.1\arcs to 0.2\arcs resolution with the VLA/MERLIN and HST has led to a breakthrough in our understanding of radio emission fro…

Limits on the Gunn-Peterson Effect at z = 5

Antoinette Songaila, Esther M. Hu, Lennox L. Cowie +1

We report new limits on the Gunn-Peterson effect at a redshift near 5 using spectroscopic observations of the z = 5 Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar, J033829.31+002156.3, made with…

An Extremely Luminous Galaxy at z=5.74

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

We report the discovery of an extremely luminous galaxy lying at a redshift of z=5.74, SSA22-HCM1. The object was found in narrowband imaging of the SSA22 field using a 105 Angstro…

The view of galaxy formation from Hawaii: Seeing the dark side of the universe

L. L. Cowie, A. J. Barger

The strength of the submillimeter background light shows directly that much of the energy radiated by star formation and AGN is moved to far infrared wavelengths. However, it is on…

The Submillimeter Search for Very High Redshift Galaxies

A. J. Barger, L. L. Cowie, E. A. Richards

Identifying the optical/near-infrared (NIR) counterparts to the distant submillimeter (submm) source population has proved difficult due to poor submm spatial resolution. However,…

The Discovery of ERO Counterparts to Faint Submm Galaxies

Ian Smail, R. J. Ivison, J. -P. Kneib +5

We use deep ground-based imaging in the near-IR to search for counterparts to the luminous submm sources in the catalog of Smail et al (1998). For the majority of the submm sources…

Evidence for a Gradual Decline in the Universal Rest-Frame UV Luminosity Density for z < 1

Lennox L. Cowie, Antoinette Songaila, Amy J. Barger

We have utilized various magnitude-limited samples drawn from an extremely deep and highly complete spectroscopic redshift survey of galaxies observed in seven colors in the Hawaii…

Resolving the Submillimeter Background: the 850-micron Galaxy Counts

A. J. Barger, L. L. Cowie, D. B. Sanders

Recent deep blank field submillimeter surveys have revealed a population of luminous high redshift galaxies that emit most of their energy in the submillimeter. The results suggest…

Redshift Distribution of the Faint Submillimeter Galaxy Population

A. J. Barger, L. L. Cowie, I. Smail +3

We present a Keck II LRIS spectroscopic follow-up study of the possible optical counterparts to a flux-limited sample of galaxies selected from an 850-micron survey of massive lens…
