Hst Proposal Id #6626 Cosmology

Scientific paper

We propose to obtain WFPC2 images in the F814W and F450W filters to study the morphologies and internal colors {rest- frame UV} of a moderately large sample of 36 galaxies with z > 1 and L{ionO2 3727 Angstrom} > 10^42 ergs s^-1 identified with the LRIS spectrograph on the Keck 10 m, in two 7'* 2' strips covering the Hawaii Deep Fields SSA13 and SSA22. {The high ionO2 luminosity implies that these galaxies are undergoing intense star formation with dot M 100 Msun yr^-1.} The central regions of the strips have already been imaged with HST and to cover the sample we require two further pointings for each of the two fields. The total time requested is 48 orbits.
