Scientific paper

We confirm the redshift of several z6 objects discovered by our imacs multislit emission-line survey. Their Lyα luminosities are lower than those of galaxies previously discovered using narrow-band imaging, as expected due to the excellent sky-supression inherent to this technique. Based on the line profiles of these objects, we argue that they are extremely young starbursts and find strong evidence for prominent galactic winds. This population of young galaxies is largely beyond the reach of current large surveys that use continuum selection.
