Lyman break galaxies and the star formation rate of the Universe at z approximate to 6
We determine the space density of UV-luminous starburst galaxies at z ≈ 6 using deep HST ACS SDSS-i′ (F775W) and SDSS-z′ (F850LP) and VLT ISAAC J and Ks band imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South. We find eight galaxies and one star with (i′ -z′) > 1.5 to a depth of z′AB = 25.6 (an 8σ detec...
