ALMA as a Redshift Machine: Using [C ii] to Efficiently Confirm Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization

The [C ii ] _158 _μ _m line has long been proposed as a promising line to spectroscopically confirm galaxies in the epoch of reionization. In this paper, we present the results of new ALMA observations spectral scanning for [C ii ] in six particularly luminous Lyman-break galaxies at z ∼ 7. The six...
