THE RELATION BETWEEN STAR FORMATION RATE AND STELLAR MASS FOR GALAXIES AT 3.5 ⩽ z ⩽ 6.5 IN CANDELS (2014, background): “…broadband photometric surveys (e.g. the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey, CANDELS) now routinely identify thousands of galaxies at redshifts greater than z ∼ 4 (e.g., Dickinson 1998; Steidel et al. 1999; Giavalisco 2002; Stark et al. 2013; Reddy et al. 2012).”
Spitzer Observations of Massive, Red Galaxies at High Redshift (2005, background): “UV-luminous star-forming galaxies at these redshifts are identified by the characteristic ‘‘break’’ in their colors due to neutral hydrogen absorption that attenuates the flux shortward of Ly (1216 8) and the 912 8 Lyman limit (for a review see, e.g., Steidel et al. 1996; Giavalisco 2002).”
Lyα Emission-Line Galaxies at z = 3.1 in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South (2007, background): “By taking deep broadband images and searching forU-,B-, andV-band dropouts, astronomers have been able to explore large-scale structure and determine the properties of bright (L > 0:3L ) galaxies between z 3 and z 5 (Giavalisco 2002).”
Early and Rapid Merging as a Formation Mechanism of Massive Galaxies: Empirical Constraints (2005, background): “This has been accomplished to a degree with the discovery and systematic study of sub-mm sources (Blain et al. 2002), Lyman-α emitters (Kodaira et al. 2003), extremely red objects (Moustakas et al. 2004) and Lyman-Break galaxies (LBGs; Giavalisco 2002).”
The Rest-Frame Far-Ultraviolet Morphologies of Star-Forming Galaxies at z ~ 1.5 and 4 (2006, background): “…to argue that bright Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) are the likely progenitors of highly clustered present-day ellipticals (Giavalisco et al. 1994; Giavalisco 2002), although fainter LBGs aremuch less clustered (Giavalisco & Dickinson 2001) and alternative models are possible (e.g., Wechsler et…”
ARE ULTRA-FAINT GALAXIES AT z = 6–8 RESPONSIBLE FOR COSMIC REIONIZATION? COMBINED CONSTRAINTS FROM THE HUBBLE FRONTIER FIELDS CLUSTERS AND PARALLELS (2015, methodology): “High-redshift Dropout Selection We adopted the Lyman break selection technique (Steidel et al. 1996; Giavalisco 2002) to detect highredshift galaxy candidates.”
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field (2003, background): “…ten years, the use of ground-based telescopes combined with the Hubble Space Telescope produced large samples of galaxies at redshifts as high as 5 to study early structure formation and the assembly of stars into present-day galaxies (Steidel et al. 1996a,b, 1999; Ellis 1998; Giavalisco 2002).”
Molecular Gas at High Redshift (2005, methodology): “Tests of this extinction correction technique show that it fails completely for local ULIRGs (for example, Giavalisco 2002) and would also fail for EMGs.”
CARS: the CFHTLS-Archive-Research Survey - II. Weighing dark matter halos of Lyman-break galaxies at z = 3–5 (2009, methodology): “More than a decade after its first applications the Lyman-break technique (Steidel et al. 1996; Giavalisco 2002) is still the most widely used method to study galaxies in the high-redshift universe.”
Stellar Population Diagnostics of Elliptical Galaxy Formation (2006, background): “…plus their relatively small size (Re ∼ 1 − 3 kpc), made them natural precursors to local bulges and ETGs (e.g., Giavalisco, Steidel, & Macchetto 1996, Steidel et al. 1996, Giavalisco 2002, but see also Giavalisco et al. 1995 for an even earlier attempt to identify a z = 3.4 precursor to ETGs).”
Cosmic Variance and Its Effect on the Luminosity Function Determination in Deep High-z Surveys (2007, background): “…to study with unprecedented detail the early epoch of galaxy assembly and star formation history (see, e.g., Steidel et al. 1996; Madau et al. 1996; Giavalisco 2002; Bouwens et al. 2004;Mobasher et al. 2005; Beckwith et al. 2006; Oesch et al. 2007), as well as to constrain the properties of…”
Cool Gas in High-Redshift Galaxies (2013, background): “Galaxy evolution has been the subject of many reviews in recent years (e.g. Shapley 2011, Renzini 2006, Giavalisco 2002, Silk & Mamon 2012) and the last decade has seen dramatic advances in our understanding of cosmic structure formation.”
The Nature of Starburst Activity in M82 (2000, background): “In recent years, it has become clear that starburst galaxies are important constituents of the universe at all accessible redshifts (e.g., Heckman 1998; Adelberger & Steidel 2000; Giavalisco 2002; Shapley et al. 2001, 2003; Chapman et al. 2003).”
Early Results from GLASS-JWST. III. Galaxy Candidates at z ∼9–15 (2022, methodology): “Substantial progress in the study of distant, star-forming galaxies has been enabled by the Lymanbreak technique yielding to samples of so-called Lymanbreak galaxies (LBGs) at progressively higher redshifts (e.g. Giavalisco 2002).”
The Large-Scale and Small-Scale Clustering of Lyman Break Galaxies at 3.5 ⩽ z ⩽ 5.5 from the GOODS Survey (2005, methodology): “Samples of star-forming galaxies at z 3, 4, and 5 were photometrically selected using the Lyman Break technique (e.g., Steidel et al. 1999; Madau et al. 1996; Giavalisco et al. 2004b.; see also Giavalisco 2002 for a review).”
A Comprehensive Study of Galaxies at z ∼ 9–16 Found in the Early JWST Data: Ultraviolet Luminosity Functions and Cosmic Star Formation History at the Pre-reionization Epoch (2022, methodology): “From the photometric catalogs constructed in Section 3.1, we construct z∼ 9–16 dropout galaxy catalogs based on the Lyman break color selection technique (e.g., Steidel et al. 1996; Giavalisco 2002).”
The Morphological Diversities among Star-forming Galaxies at High Redshifts in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (2006, background): “…redshifts (z > 2.5) have been identified in deep, multi–wavelength surveys by using color criteria that are sensitive to the Lymanbreak and Lyman-α forest absorption features in their otherwise flat ultraviolet spectral continuum (Steidel et al. 1996; Giavalisco 2002; Giavalisco et al. 2004).”
Properties of Lyα emitters around the radio galaxy MRC 0316 257 (2005, background): “This is much lower than the average SFR of LBGs, which is somewhere between 10 and 100 M⊙ yr −1 (e.g. Giavalisco, 2002).”
CLASH: THREE STRONGLY LENSED IMAGES OF A CANDIDATE z ≈ 11 GALAXY (2012, methodology): “This Lyman dropout technique (Meier 1976; Giavalisco 2002) pioneered by Steidel et al. (1996) at z ∼ 3 has been used with a high success rate to identify highredshift candidates later spectroscopically confirmed out to z ∼ 7.”
