Scientific paper

We propose to use ACS and NICMOS to observe two gravitationally lensed galaxies at z~2.5. We will combine these data with existing archival and scheduled GTO observation to make spatially resolved maps of color, dust, and age for these objects. We will then use these maps to study the properties of individual star-forming regions within these galaxies, to search for an underlying old stellar population between the knots of active star formation, and to test previous HST and ground-based studies which have hitherto relied on spatially unresolved colors alone to study stellar population in high redshift star-forming galaxies. Ours will be the first study of stellar populations of Lyman Break Galaxies on sub-galactic scales, and will give important new insights into the way that these high-z galaxies are assembled.
