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 use a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation in hierarchical clustering theories to interpret recent data on galaxy formation and evolution, focussing primarily on the recently discovered population of Lyman-break galaxies at $z\simeq…
We present predictions for the abundance of sub-mm galaxies (SMGs) and Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in the $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. A key feature of our model is the self-consistent calculation of the absorption and emission of radiation by…
Can the submillimetre counts and background be produced by applying a locally derived extinction correction to the population of Lyman break galaxies? We investigate the submillimetre emission of two strongly lensed Lyman break galaxies…

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…
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…
[Abridged] We develop a simple star formation model whose goal is to interpret the emerging body of observational data on star-forming galaxies at z>~6. The efficiency and duty cycle of the star formation activity within dark matter halos…
Near-infrared observations of Lyman-break galaxies at redshifts z~3 are beginning to provide constraints on ages, star-formation histories, dust content, metallicities, and stellar masses. At present, uncertainties of more than an order of…
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…
Data on galaxies at high redshift, identified by the Lyman-break photometric technique, can teach us about how galaxies form and evolve. The stellar masses and other properties of such Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) depend sensitively on the…
We present very deep imaging observations, through a narrow-band filter tuned to Lyman alpha at <z = 3.09>, of a volume containing a significant over-density of galaxies at this redshift previously discovered in our survey for…
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 use the observed sizes and star formation rates of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) to understand their properties expected in the hierarchical scenario of galaxy formation. The observed size distribution constrains the masses of the host…
We study the evolution of Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) from z=5 to z=0 by tracing the merger trees of galaxies in a large-scale hydrodynamic simulation based on a Lambda cold dark matter model. In particular, we emphasize on the range of…
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 calculate the statistical clustering of Lyman-break galaxies predicted in a selection of currently-fashionable structure formation scenarios. These models are all based on the cold dark matter model, but vary in the amount of dark…
Lyman break analogues (LBAs) are local galaxies selected to match a more distant (usually z~3) galaxy population in luminosity, UV-spectral slope and physical characteristics, and so provide an accessible laboratory for exploring their…
Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at $z \sim 3$ exhibit number densities and clustering similar to local $L_*$ galaxies; however, their star formation rates (SFRs) are much higher. We explore the scenario in which LBGs are starburst galaxies…
We investigate several fundamental properties of z ~ 4 Lyman-break galaxies by comparing observations with the predictions of a semi-analytic model based on the Cold Dark Matter theory of hierarchical structure formation. We use a sample of…
