Programs to Study z>5 LBGs
Deep Imaging and Spectroscopy of 4 fields of about 160 arcmin2 with FORS2 on VLT
ESO Large Program of Deep Imaging and Spectroscopy of 10 EDisCS fields
Deep Spectroscopy of CDFS with GMOS on Gemini-South
Pilot program to use GOODS-South IRAC data
The VLT survey: LP + GO
•10 widely separated fields with deep VRIZJK data and HST I band + IRAC (~400 arcmin2)
•Originally observed as part of the EDisCS cluster survey. Clusters usually low mass, lensing not a problem.
• 4 Contiguous fields with deep RIZ+IRAC (~160 arcmin2)
•Spectroscopy with the VLT, 1 to 5 masks each, depending on the richness work is still on-going
LBGs at z>5• Example of six targets with
measured redshifts.
• All are R-band drop outs

SummaryRedshifts of well over 50 LBGs in ESO programs – more to come – more IRAC data to come
tUV,optical < 100 Myrs and AV<0.3 (strong Ly emitters)
MSED few x 109 M (10x < Mz3 LBGS)
Star-formation rates = ~10 to ~100-200 M yr-1
zformation < 6-7 for majority, some earlier
