Star-forming galaxies in the epoch of reionization
- Abstract:
-
This work presents a search for galaxies at 6.5 < z < 9.8 based on the Lyman-break technique, using the latest HST WFC3 near-infrared data covering ∼ 150 arcmin^2 of the GOODS-South field. With these data, it is possible to find sufficient z ≈ 7−9 galaxies to fit both φ∗ and M∗ of the UV Schechter luminosity function. There is evidence for evolution in this luminosity function from z = 6−7 to z = 8−9, in the sense that there are fewer UV-bright galaxies at z ≈ 8 − 9, consistent with ...
