Lyman-Break Galaxies

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2002
▪ Abstract  In this paper we review the properties of Lyman-break galaxies, namely starburst galaxies at high redshifts, approximately in the range 2.5 < z < 5, identified by the colors of their far ultraviolet spectral energy distribution around the 912 Å Lyman continuum discontinuity.

Are High-Redshift Damped Lyα Galaxies Lyman Break Galaxies?*

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2002
We use deep HST STIS and NICMOS images of three spectroscopically confirmed galaxy counterparts of high-redshift damped Ly? (DLA) absorbers (one of which is a new discovery) to test the hypothesis that high-redshift DLA galaxies are Lyman break galaxies. If this hypothesis is correct, the emission properties of DLA galaxies must lie within the range of

High Redshift Lyman Break Galaxies

2006
Two of the most outstanding issues in modern astrophysics are what reionized the Universe and how did the first objects form. Observations of galaxies selected through the Lyman-Break technique indicate that UV photon output at the end of reionization was dominated by relatively faint low mass galaxies and not AGN.

Lyman break galaxies as collisional starbursts

Second international workshop on particle physics and the early universe (COSMO-98), 1999
The nature of the galaxies recently discovered at redshift [1,2] z≳3, when the Universe was only about two billion years old, is an intriguing puzzle. They are forming stars at a high rate, comparable to local “starburst” galaxies [3], but while the latter are relatively rare, the high-z galaxies are as numerous as local normal galaxies.

Detailed astrophysical properties of Lyman Break Galaxies

2003
A large statistical sample of z~3 galaxies has been efficiently UV-color-selected, and confirmed spectroscopically. Here we present additional observations providing insight into the physical conditions in these Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs), selected to be rapidly forming stars when the universe was ~15% of its current age.
