We report the LBT/MODS1 spectroscopic confirmation of two images of faint Lyman alpha emitters at z = 6.4 behind the Frontier Fields galaxy cluster MACSJ0717.5+3745. A wide range of lens models suggests that the two images are highly magnified, with a strong lower...

The process that quenched star formation in galaxies at intermediate and high redshift is still the subject of considerable debate. One way to investigate this puzzling issue is to study the number density of quiescent galaxies at z ≃ 2, and its dependence on mass....

With this paper we aim at constraining the assembly history of high-redshift galaxies and the reliability of UV-based estimates of their physical parameters from an accurate analysis of a unique sample of z∼3 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs). We analyse 14 LBGs at...

McLure et al. (2011) developed a code to analyse the ultra‐deep IRAC imaging available in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), based on using HST H‐160 band imaging as prior information. The basic algorithm is very similar to that employed by TFIT and CONVPHOT. It is...

We present the results of a study investigating the rest-frame ultra-violet (UV) spectral slopes of redshift z ≈ 5 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). By combining deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the CANDELS and HUDF fields with ground-based imaging from the UKIDSS...
