Keck spectroscopy of faint 3 < z < 7 Lyman break galaxies - I. New constraints on cosmic reionization from the luminosity and redshift-dependent fraction of Lyman alpha emission
We present the first results of a new Keck spectroscopic survey of UV faint Lyman break galaxies in the redshift range 3 < z < 7. Combined with earlier Keck and published European Southern Observatory (ESO) VLT data, our spectroscopic sample contains more than 600 dropouts offering new...
