Star forming galaxies at z ≈ 6 and reionization

We determine the abundance of i′-band drop-outs in the HST/ACS GOODS surveys and the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF). The majority of these sources are likely to be z ≈ 6 galaxies whose flux decrement between the F775W i′-band and F850LP z′-band arises from Lyman-α absorption. We have shown with Keck/...
