Evolution in the Colors of Lyman-Break Galaxies from Z~4 to Z~3

Casey Papovich, Mark Dickinson, Henry C. Ferguson +11

The integrated colors of distant galaxies provide a means for interpreting the properties of their stellar content. Here, we use rest-frame UV-to-optical colors to constrain the sp…

Early reionization by miniquasars

Piero Madau, Martin J. Rees, Marta Volonteri +2

Motivated by the recent detection by WMAP of a large optical depth to Thomson scattering -- implying a very early reionization epoch -- we assess a scenario where the universe was…

Gravitational Lensing Statistics in Universes Dominated by Dark Energy

M. Kuhlen, C. R. Keeton, P. Madau

We study lens statistics in flat, low-density universes with different equations of state for the dark energy component. Dark energy modifies the distance-redshift rela…

The Rest-Frame UV Luminosity Density of Star-Forming Galaxies at Redshifts z>3.5

M. Giavalisco, M. Dickinson, H. C. Ferguson +12

We have measured the rest--frame lambda~1500 Ang comoving specific luminosity density of star--forming galaxies at redshift 3.5<z<6.5 from deep images taken with the Hubble Space T…

The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey: Initial Results From Optical and Near-Infrared Imaging

M. Giavalisco, the GOODS Team

This Special Issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters is dedicated to presenting initial results from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) that are primarily, but…

The C IV Mass Density of the Universe at Redshift 5

Max Pettini, Piero Madau, Michael Bolte +3

In order to search for metals in the Lyman alpha forest at redshifts z > 4, we have obtained spectra of high S/N and resolution of three QSOs at z > 5.4 discovered by the Sloan Dig…
