[Abridged] We present results on the clustering og Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) around a probable damped Ly-alpha absorption (DLA) line cloud at z_DLA=2.974 from deep UBVI images of the field containing the quasar APM 08279+5255 (z=3.91).…

Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) represent one of the kinds of star-forming galaxies that are found in the high-redshift universe. The detection of LBGs in the FIR domain can provide very important clues on their dust attenuation and total SFR,…

We have discovered six galaxies with spectroscopically confirmed redshifts of 4.8<z<5.8 in a single 44 square arcminute field imaged deeply in R, I and z-bands. All the spectra show an emission-line in the region around 7000-8400 angstroms…

We present measurements of the clustering properties of bright ($L>L_{*}$) z$\sim$4 Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) selected from the Oxford-Dartmouth Thirty Degree Survey (ODT). We describe techniques used to select and evaluate our candidates…

A deep mid- and far-infrared survey in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) area gives 3.6 to 8\micron flux densities or upper limits for 253 Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs). The LBGs are a diverse population but with properties correlated with…

The population of high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) is still poorly studied because only a few of these objects are currently known. We here present the results of a pilot project of spectroscopic identification of HzRG candidates. The…

We present a sample of 407 z~3 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) to a limiting isophotal u-band magnitude of 27.6 mag in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF). The LBGs are selected using a combination of photometric redshifts and the u-band drop-out…

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is carrying out a 5-year survey that aims to measure the redshifts of tens of millions of galaxies and quasars, including 8 million luminous red galaxies (LRGs) in the redshift range of…

(ABRIDGED) We present the global results of a large spectroscopic survey carried out in order to identify z~ 5 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) across ten widely-separated fields to I_{AB}=26.3. The redshifts of seventy 4.6<z<5.6 LBGs were…

We combined deep U-band imaging from the KPNO-4m/MOSAIC camera with very deep multi-waveband data from the optical to infrared, to select Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z~3 using U-V and V-R colors in the Subaru Deep Field. With the…

We describe the target selection and resulting properties of a spectroscopic sample of luminous, red galaxies (LRG) from the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). These galaxies are selected on the basis of color and…

We plan to analyse dust extinction in Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) by introducing a new and more reliable approach to their selection and to the characterization of their distribution of UV slopes beta, using deep IR images from HST. We…

We review our analysis of the clustering properties of ``Lyman-break'' galaxies (LBGs) at redshift z~3, previously discussed in Wechsler et al (1998). We examine the likelihood of spikes found by Steidel et al (1998) in the redshift…

We describe the algorithm used to select the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV) using photometric data from both the SDSS and the…

We present the first results of our spectroscopic follow-up of 6.5 < z < 10 candidate galaxies behind clusters of galaxies. We report the spectroscopic confirmation of an intrinsically faint Lyman break galaxy (LBG) identified as a z…

Abridged] We present here new results on the space density of rich, optically-selected, clusters of galaxies at low redshift (z<0.15). These results are based on the application of the matched filter cluster-finding algorithm to 1067 deg2…

The nature of galaxy structures on large scales is a key observational prediction for current models of galaxy formation. The SDSS and 2dF galaxy surveys have revealed a number of structures on 40-150 h^-1 Mpc scales at low redshifts, and…

Using accurate positions from very deep radio observations to guide multi-object Keck spectroscopy, we have determined a substantially complete redshift distribution for very luminous, distant submillimeter(submm)-selected galaxies (SMGs).…
