Star-forming Galaxies in the 'Redshift Desert'

Abstract

We describe results of optical and near-IR observations of a large spectroscopic sample of star-forming galaxies photometrically-selected to lie in the redshift range 1.4 < z < 2.5, often called the ``redshift desert'' because of historical difficulty in obtaining spectroscopic redshifts in this range. We show that the former ``redshift desert'' is now very much open to observation.
