We predict the formation histories, properties and descendants of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in the Lambda-CDM cosmology. In our model, which incorporates a top-heavy IMF in starbursts, we find that most LBGs are starbursts triggered by…
We study the photometric properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) formed by redshift z=3 in a set of large cosmological smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations of the Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) model. Our numerical simulations…
We determine the ensemble properties of z~5 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) selected as V-band dropouts to i(AB)<26.3 in the Chandra Deep Field South using their rest-frame UV-to-visible SEDs. By matching the selection and performing the same…

The number density and clustering properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) are consistent with them being the central galaxies of the most massive dark halos present at z~3. This conclusion holds in all currently popular hierarchical…

We investigate the properties of 1088 Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z~3 selected from a ~2.63$ deg2 sub-region of the First Look Survey field using the ground-based multi-color data and the Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared data at 3--8…
We use state-of-the-art simulations to explore the physical evolution of galaxies in the first billion years of cosmic time. First, we demonstrate that our model reproduces the basic statistical properties of the observed Lyman-break galaxy…
We report the updated UV luminosity function (LF) of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z~5. Combining with lower redshift data, we found that the evolution of UV LF is differential depending on the UV luminosity; i.e., the number density of…
Properties of Lyman Break Galaxies at $z\sim5$ are presented and are compared with those at $z\sim 2-3$ LBGs to see evolution of LBGs from $z\sim5$ to $z \sim3-2$. The LBGs at $z\sim5$ are tend to have smaller stellar masses, but they may…
Using deep near-IR and optical observations of the HDF-N from the HST NICMOS and WFPC2 and from the ground, we examine the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at 2.0 < z < 3.5. The UV-to-optical rest-frame…
We take advantage of the exceptional photometric coverage provided by the combination of GALEX data in the UV and the ALHAMBRA survey in the optical and near-IR to analyze the physical properties of a sample of 1225 GALEX-selected Lyman…
The number density and clustering properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) observed at redshift $z\sim 3$ are best explained by assuming that they are associated with the most massive haloes at $z\sim 3$ predicted in hierarchical models of…
Ultraviolet (UV) galaxies have been selected from GALEX. The presence of a FUV-dropout in their spectral energy distributions proved to be a very complete (83.3%) but not very efficient (21.4%) tool for identifying Lyman Break Galaxies…
Using semi-analytic models of galaxy formation, we investigate the properties of $z\sim3$ galaxies and compare them with the observed population of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). In addition to the usual quiescent mode of star formation, we…
