The star formation rate at redshift one: Ha spectroscopy with CIRPASS
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 370:1 (2006) 331-342
Abstract:
We have conducted an Hα survey of 38 0.77 < z < 1 galaxies over ∼100arcmin2 of the Hubble Deep Field-North and Flanking Fields, to determine star formation rates (SFRs), with the near-IR multi-object spectrograph Cambridge Infrared Panoramic Survey Spectrograph (CIRPASS) on the William Herschel Telescope (WHT). This represents the first successful application of this technique to observing high-redshift galaxies. Stacking the spectra in the rest frame to infer a total SFR for the field, we find a lower limit (uncorrected for dust reddening) on the SFR density at redshift z = 1 of 0.04 M⊙ yr-1 Mpc-3. This implies rapid evolution in the SFR density from z = 0 to 1 which is proportional to (1+ z)3.1 © 2006 RAS.Galaxy clusters at 0.6 < z < 1.4 in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey Early Data Release
