Abstract

We present results from optical narrowband (λc=8150 Å and Δλ=120 Å) observations of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) fields, using Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. Using these narrowband data, we then perform a survey of Lyα emitters (LAEs) at z~5.7. The LAE survey covers an area of ~320 arcmin2 and a comoving volume of ~=8.0×104 Mpc3. We found a total of 10 (GOODS-N) and 4 (GOODS-S) LAE candidates at z~5.7. We perform a study of the spatial distribution, space density, and star formation properties of the LAEs at z~5.7.

Based in part on data collected at Subaru Telescope and obtained from the Subaru Mitaka Okayama Kiso Archive (SMOKA) at the Astronomical Data Analysis Center, which are operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.
