The Deepest Spectrum of the Universe? Constraints on the Lyman Continuum Background at High Redshift
Andrew J. Bunker, Francine R. Marleau, James R. Graham
We describe an ongoing experiment to search for the meta-galactic Lyman-continuum background at z~2-3. We are obtaining one of the deepest optical spectra ever, using LRIS/Keck-II…

A Serendipitous Search for Hy-Redshift Ly Emission: A Case Study of Two Sources at
Curtis Manning, Daniel Stern, Hyron Spinrad +1
In the course of our on-going search for serendipitous high-redshift LyA emission in deep archival Keck spectra, we discovered two LyA emission line candidates in a moderate disper…
