Fishing for spectral lines in high-redshift galaxies lensed by frontier fields clusters

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Hubble Frontier Fields, together with other cluster lensing surveys with Hubble, have revealed hundreds of high-redshift (z≥6) dropout galaxy candidates. We summarize recent efforts taken to spectroscopically follow up magnified high-redshift galaxies behind those clusters and in the field, including our detection of Lyα emission from a redshift z=8.68 object.
