The High Redshift Population of Field Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
In principle, observations of the high redshift population of field galaxies should provide powerful probes of interactions and mergers. As initial examples of such explorations, we highlight recent results from the DEEP program that take advantage of Keck and HST, including median redshifts for samples fainter than I ~ 22, morphologies and colors to z ~ 1, and especially the nature of z ~ 3 galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field. Although tantalizing, the results will need much larger samples to be confirmed and better quantified.
