We searched for massive galaxy population in the known large-scale high-density structure of Lyman$~\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) at $z=2.39$ near the radio galaxy 53W002 by using $B,~V,~i^\prime,~J,~H,~{\rm{and}}~K_s$-bands imaging data taken…

We analyse an 850-um SCUBA map of the environment of the z=2.39 radio galaxy 53W002, which has been shown to reside in an over-density of Ly-alpha detected galaxies. We identify four luminous submillimeter (submm) sources within a 2.3'…

We investigate a very luminous Lyman-alpha emitting galaxy, associated with a z=2.3 damped absorption system in the spectrum of the QSO PHL 957. The galaxy was observed with the HST WFPC2, through a narrow filter (F410M) corresponding to…

We announce the discovery of an extended emission line region associated with a high redshift type-2 QSO. The halo, which was discovered in our new wide-field narrow-band survey, resides at z = 2.85 in the Spitzer First Look Survey region…

Narrow-band searches for Lyman alpha emission are an efficient way of identifying star-forming galaxies at high redshifts. We present Keck telescope spectra confirming redshifts z = 5.7 for three objects discovered in the Large Area Lyman…
