A Deep, Large-Area K-Band Survey for Highly Redshifted Hα Emission
1999
Symposium - International astronomical union
The most significant unknown in searches for high-zstarburst galaxies is the role and importance of absorption by dust. Emission line searches have mostly targeted the Lyα line, which, due to resonant scattering, will be strongly suppressed even if only small amounts of dust are present. Indeed, most of the high redshift starburst galaxies identified by Steidel et al. (1996) havenoLyα emission. TheU-band andV-band dropout techniques developed by these authors and by Madau et al. (1996) are
