Scientific paper

We use deep GALEX images of CDFS in UV to define the first large sample of 420 Lyman Break Galaxies at z~1. We use a PSF fitting to estimate UV magnitudes on these deep crowded images. Deep Spitzer IRAC and MIPS provide the first detection of a large sample of Lyman Break Galaxies in the mid- to far-infrared range. We are therefore able to study and compare the UV and TIR emission of Lyman Break Galaxies. We find that about 15% of the LBG sample are strong emitters at 24 microns (Red LBGs). Most of them are Luminous IR Galaxies (LIRGs) while the rest (Blue LBGs) are undetected at the 83 microJy level of MIPS GTO image. We find that Blue LBGs have a Spectral Energy Distribution similar to high redshift Lyman Break Galaxies. Finally, the dust-to-FUV ratio of this sample is compared with similar ratios at z=1 and z~2. This work suggests an evolution (decrease) of the dust-to-FUV ratio with the redshift.
