One of the most challenging aspects of studying galaxies in the z>~7 universe is the infrequent confirmation of their redshifts through spectroscopy, a phenomenon thought to occur from the increasing opacity of the intergalactic medium to…

Deep surveys at 850microns from Mauna Kea using the SCUBA camera on the JCMT appear to have discovered a substantial population of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs: L_ir > 10^{12} L_sun). The cumulative space density of these sources…

We present the discovery and a detailed multi-wavelength study of a strongly-lensed luminous infrared galaxy at z=0.816. Unlike most known lensed galaxies discovered at optical or near-infrared wavelengths this lensed source is red, r-Ks =…

We present a reduction and analysis of the \textit{James Webb Space Telescope} (JWST) SMACS~0723 field using new post-launch calibrations to conduct a search for ultra-high-redshift galaxies ($z > 9$) present within the Epoch of…

We have carried out a search for Lyman alpha emission from galaxies at z~=2.4 over a field of 1200 sq. arcmin using the CFH12K camera at the CFHT and a custom medium band filter. The search has uncovered 58 candidates, corresponding to a…

We present a novel method to estimate accurate redshifts of star-forming galaxies by measuring the flux ratio of the same emission line observed through two adjacent narrow-band filters. We apply this method to our NB912 and new NB921 data…

We analyzed the spatial distribution of 28500 photometrically selected galaxies with AB magnitude 23.5<R<25.5 and redshift 1.4<z<3.5 in 21 fields with a total area of 0.81 square degrees. The galaxies were divided into three subsamples,…

Serendipitously we have discovered a rare, bright submillimeter galaxy (SMG) with a flux density of 30 +/- 2 mJy at lambda=1.2mm, using MAMBO2 at the IRAM 30-meter millimeter telescope. Although no optical counterpart is known for…

We study the infrared (IR) properties of high-redshift galaxies using deep Spitzer 24, 70, and 160 micron data. Our primary interest is to improve the constraints on the total IR luminosities, L(IR), of these galaxies. We combine the…

We present the results of deep near-infrared spectroscopy of seven submillimetre-selected galaxies from the SCUBA 8-mJy and CUDSS surveys. These galaxies were selected because they are too faint to be accessible to optical spectrographs on…

We use a sample of rest-frame UV selected and spectroscopically observed galaxies at redshifts 1.9<z<3.4, combined with ground-based spectroscopic H-alpha and Spitzer MIPS 24 micron data, to derive the most robust measurements of the…

We report results from a search for massive and evolved galaxies at z>5 in the GOODS southern field. Combining HST ACS, VLT ISAAC and Spitzer IRAC photometric data, we develop a color selection technique to identify candidates for being…

Using a simple color selection based on B-, z- and K-band photometry, BzK= (z-K)_AB-(B-z)_AB>-0.2, we picked out 52 star-forming galaxies at 1.4<z<2.5 (sBzKs) from a K-band selected sample (K_Vega<22.0) in an area of ~5.5 arcmin^2 of the…
