Scientific paper

We have discovered a population of star-forming galaxies at z 6 (within the first billion years) through the i-drop technique. Spitzer observations with IRAC enable us to estimate the stellar masses and luminosity-weighted ages for this population; we find in some cases that there are Balmer breaks, indicating ages of >200Myr and formation redshifts of z 10. I will discuss the stellar mass density, and the implications for the previous star formation history and for reionization.
