Abstract

We describe results of optical and near-IR observations of a large spectroscopic sample of star-forming galaxies photometrically-selected to lie in the redshift range 1.4≾z≾2.5, often called the "redshift desert" because of historical difficulty in obtaining spectroscopic redshifts in this range. We show that the former "redshift desert" is now very much open to observation.

More quantitative results in the areas discussed above, and analyses of the clustering properties, luminosity functions, and the relationship to and interaction with the diffuse IGM are all in preparation.
