Lyman break galaxies at z~1.8-2.8

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

A photometric sample of ~8000 V<25.3 candidate Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) has been selected by combining Subaru/Suprime-Cam BVRCi'z' optical data with deep GALEX/NUV imaging of the Subaru Deep Field.

Description

Follow-up spectroscopy confirmed 24 LBGs at 1.5<~z<~2.7. Among the optical spectra, 12 have Ly{alpha} emission with rest-frame equivalent widths of ~5-60{AA}.

The success rate for identifying LBGs as NUV-dropouts at 1.5<z<2.7 is 86%. The rest-frame UV (1700{AA}) luminosity function (LF) is constructed from the photometric sample with corrections for stellar contamination and z<1.5 interlopers (lower limits). The LF is 1.7+/-0.1 (1.4+/-0.1 with a hard upper limit on stellar contamination) times higher than those of z~2 BXs and z~3 LBGs.
