We report the discovery of a substantial population of star--forming galaxies at $3.0 \simlt z \simlt 3.5$. These galaxies have been selected using color criteria sensitive to the presence of a Lyman continuum break superposed on an…

There has been great progress in recent years in discovering star forming galaxies at high redshifts (z>5), close to the epoch of reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM). The WFC3 and ACS cameras on the Hubble Space Telescope have…

We review the steps which have led to the discovery of a widespread population of objects at z = 3 with many of the characteristics which we expect for primeval galaxies, and emphasize in particular the advantages of a colour selection…

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 have measured the rest--frame lambda~1500 Ang comoving specific luminosity density of star--forming galaxies at redshift 3.5<z<6.5 from deep images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS),…

We report the results of J-band infrared spectroscopy of a sample of 13 z=1 field galaxies drawn from the Canada-France Redshift Survey, targeting galaxies whose redshifts place the rest frame H-alpha line emission from HII regions in…

We describe narrowband and spectroscopic searches for emission-line star forming galaxies in the redshift range 3 to 6 with the 10 m Keck II Telescope. These searches yield a substantial population of objects with only a single strong…

We study the physical characteristics of galaxies at 6.3 < z < 8.6, selected from deep near-infrared imaging with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on board the Hubble Space Telescope. Accounting for the photometric scatter using simulations,…

We present an analysis of the star formation rate in galaxies between 0.7<z<1.8 using Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrograph (NICMOS) grism spectral observations. We detect 163 galaxies in an area of ~4.4 square arcminutes, 37…

We discuss the spectral character of Lyman-limit-selected, star-forming galaxies at z>3. The rest-frame UV spectra of these faint galaxies may show Ly-alpha in either absorption or emission, probably depending upon their local ISM content…

A significant fraction of the high-redshift galaxies show strong Lyman emission lines. For redshifts z>5, most known galaxies belong to this class. However, so far not much is known about the physical structure and nature of these objects.…

We derive the luminosity function of high-redshift Lyman alpha emitting sources from a deep, blind, spectroscopic survey that utilized strong-lensing magnification by intermediate-redshift clusters of galaxies. We observed carefully…

We present discovery spectra of a sample of eight lensed galaxies at high redshift, 3.7<z<5.2, selected by their red colors in the fields of four massive clusters: A1689, A2219, A2390, and AC114. Metal absorption lines are detected and…

We use Hubble Space Telescope near-IR grism spectroscopy to examine the H-beta line strengths of 260 star-forming galaxies in the redshift range 1.90 < z < 2.35. We show that at these epochs, the H-beta star formation rate (SFR) is a factor…

I provide an overview about star-forming galaxies at high redshift and their physical properties. Starting from the populations of Ly-$\alpha$ emitters and Lyman break galaxies, I summarize their common features and distinction. Then I…

The quality, depth, and multi-color nature of the Hubble Deep Field images makes them an excellent resource for studying galaxies at z > 2 using selection techniques based on the presence of the 912A Lyman break. I present a descriptive…

We use hydrodynamic cosmological simulations to predict the star formation properties of high-redshift galaxies (z=2-6) in five variants of the inflationary cold dark matter scenario, paying particular attention to z=3, the redshift of the…

The redshift range z=4-6 marks a transition phase between primordial and mature galaxy formation in which galaxies considerably increase their stellar mass, metallicity, and dust content. The study of galaxies in this redshift range is…

We present the first results of a spectroscopic survey of Lyman break galaxies in the near-infrared aimed at detecting the emission lines of [O II], [O III], and Hbeta from the H II regions of star forming galaxies at z = 3. From…

We present the first results from a program of near-infrared spectroscopy aimed at studying the familiar rest-frame optical emission lines from the H II regions of Lyman break galaxies at z = 3. By targeting redshifts which bring the lines…
