Scientific paper

We have searched the Data Release 6 imaging data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) for bright, strongly-lensed Lyman break galaxies (LBGs). Follow-up observations on the Astrophysical Research Consortium (ARC) 3.5m telescope at Apache Point Observatory have spectroscopically confirmed 4 new systems to be high-redshift, z>2 LBGs lensed by z 0.4 SDSS luminous red galaxies (LRGs), similar to the 8 o'clock arc system discovered earlier by our group. Here we describe our arc search technique and present results on the photometric, spectroscopic, and lensing properties of our sample.
