We investigate the environmental dependence of galaxies with the star formation rate (SFR) in a complete volume limited sample of 91566 galaxies, in the redshift range $0.05 \le z \le 0.095$, and with $M_r=-20.0$ (that is M$^*$ + 1.45),…
We examine the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies in a redshift slice encompassing the z=0.834 cluster RX J0152.7-1357. We used a low-dispersion prism in the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph (IMACS) to identify galaxies…

We investigate the luminosity functions of Lyman-break galaxies (LBG) at z~4 and 5 based on the optical imaging data obtained in the Subaru Deep Field Project. Three samples of LBGs in a contiguous 875 arcmin^2 area are constructed. One…

We combine recent estimates of dust extinction at z~4-7 with UV luminosity function (LF) determinations to derive star formation rate (SFR) functions at z~4, 5, 6 and 7. SFR functions provide a more physical description of galaxy build-up…
We study the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies as a function of local galaxy density at 0.6<z<0.9. We used a low-dispersion prism in IMACS on the 6.5-m Baade (Magellan I) telescope to obtain spectra and measured redshifts to a…
Measuring star formation rates (SFRs) in high-z galaxies with their rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) continuum can be uncertain because of dust obscuration. Prior studies had used the submillimeter emission at 850 um to determine the intrinsic…
In hierarchical structure formation, correlations between galaxy properties and their environments reveal important clues about galaxy evolution, emphasizing the importance of measuring these relationships. We probe the environmental…
We review the spectral properties of the population of star forming galaxies at z = 3 discovered using a colour selection technique which targets the Lyman discontinuity at 912 Angstroms. The UV luminosity of the typical z = 3 galaxy…
We analyse a unique sample of 517 bright ($L>L^{*}$) LBGs at redshift z$\sim$3 in order to characterise the distribution of their UV slopes $\beta$ and infer their dust extinction under standard assumptions. We exploited multi-band…
We present initial results of a survey for star-forming galaxies in the redshift range 3.8 < z < 4.5. This sample consists of a photometric catalog of 244 galaxies culled from a total solid angle of 0.23 square degrees to an apparent…

We measure the evolution of the specific star formation rate (sSFR = SFR / Mstellar) between redshift 4 and 6 to investigate the previous reports of "constant" sSFR at z>2. We obtain photometry on a large sample of galaxies at z~4-6 located…
