A z=5.34 Galaxy Pair in the Hubble Deep Field

Hyron Spinrad, Daniel Stern, Andrew Bunker +5

We present spectrograms of the faint V-drop (V(606) = 28.1, I(814) = 25.6) galaxy pair HDF3-951.1 and HDF3-951.2 obtained at the Keck II Telescope. Fernandez-Soto, Lanzetta, & Yahi…

Seeking the Ultraviolet Ionizing Background at z~3 with the Keck Telescope

Andrew J. Bunker, Francine R. Marleau, James R. Graham

We describe the initial results of a deep long-slit emission line search for redshifted (2.7<z<4.1) Lyman-alpha. These observations are used to constrain the fluorescent Ly-alpha e…

Keck Spectroscopy and NICMOS Photometry of a Redshift z=5.60 Galaxy

R. J. Weymann, D. Stern, A. Bunker +4

We present Keck LRIS spectroscopy along with NICMOS F110W (~J) and F160W (~H) images of the galaxy HDF4-473.0 (hereafter 4-473) in the Hubble Deep Field, with a detection of an emi…

Limits on the star formation rates of z>2 damped Ly-alpha systems from H-alpha spectroscopy

Andrew J. Bunker, Stephen J. Warren, D. L. Clements +2

We present the results of a long-slit K-band spectroscopic search with CGS4 on UKIRT for H-alpha emission from the objects responsible for high-redshift (z > 2) damped Ly-alpha abs…

Keck Spectroscopy of Giant Arcs in Abell 2390

B. L. Frye, T. J. Broadhurst, H. Spinrad +1

We present new Keck observations of giant arcs in the cluster Abell 2390. High resolution two-dimensional spectra of two arcs show metal lines at z=4.040 +/- 0.005 with Lyman-alpha…

Spectroscopy of z>3 Lyman-limit Galaxies

Hyron Spinrad, Arjun Dey, Daniel Stern +1

We discuss the spectral character of Lyman-limit-selected, star-forming galaxies at z>3. The rest-frame UV spectra of these faint galaxies may show Ly-alpha in either absorption or…
