QSO Absorbing Galaxies at z<~1: Deep Imaging and Spectroscopy in the Field of 3C 336

C. Steidel, M. Dickinson, D. Meyer +2

We present very deep WFPC2 images and FOS spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) together with numerous supporting ground-based observations of the field of the quasar…

High Redshift Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field. Color Selection and Star Formation History to z=4

Piero Madau, Henry C. Ferguson, Mark E. Dickinson +3

The Lyman decrement associated with the cumulative effect of HI in QSO absorption systems along the line of sight provides a distinctive feature for identifying galaxies at z>2.5.…

On the Spatial and Kinematic Distributions of Mg II Absorbing Gas in <z>=0.7 Galaxies

Christopher W. Churchill, Charles C. Steidel, Steven S. Vogt

(Abridged) We present HIRES/Keck spectra having resolution 6 km/s of Mg II 2796 absorption profiles which arise in the gas associated with 15 identified galaxies over the redshift…

Spectroscopy of Lyman Break Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field

Charles C. Steidel, Mauro Giavalisco, Mark Dickinson +1

We report on the initial results of a spectroscopic investigation of galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field which exhibit spectral discontinuities between the F450W and F300W passbands,…

Hubble Space Telescope Imaging of Star-Forming Galaxies at Redshifts z>3

Mauro Giavalisco, Charles C. Steidel, F. Duccio Macchetto

We present HST images of star-forming galaxies at redshifts z>3. These galaxies have been color selected for having a Lyman discontinuity in the otherwise flat (in f_νunits) UV spe…

Spectroscopic Confirmation of a Population of Normal Star-Forming Galaxies at Redshifts z>3

C. Steidel, M. Giavalisco, M. Pettini +2

We report the discovery of a substantial population of star--forming galaxies at $3.0 \simlt z \simlt 3.5$. These galaxies have been selected using color criteria sensitive to the…
