Galaxies at z>5: The View from Hawaii
Esther M. Hu, Lennox L. Cowie, Richard G. McMahon
Abstract
We review the properties of z>5 galaxies studied with HST and with the Keck telescopes, and discuss the detectability of Lyman alpha emission-line galaxies out to z~6.5 based on these data and ongoing narrowband imaging surveys. The brightest sources may show (R-Z) color breaks, although the high sky background at Z (lambdaeff ~ 9200 Ang), makes such observations challenging for typical faint sources. Keck LRIS observations of the z=5 SDSS quasar and z>5 galaxies observed with HST in the HDF show that the strength of the Lyman break is evolving more slowly than extrapolations from models at z~3 would predict.
