Lyman alpha emitting and related star-forming galaxies at high redshift

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2018-03-14 v1

Abstract

I provide an overview about star-forming galaxies at high redshift and their physical properties. Starting from the populations of Ly-α\alpha emitters and Lyman break galaxies, I summarize their common features and distinction. Then I summarize recent insight onto their physical properties gained from SED models including nebular emission, and various implications from these studies on the properties of star-formation at high redshift. Finally, I present new results and an overview on the dust content and UV attenuation of z>6z>6 galaxies obtained from IRAM and ALMA observations.
