The I - Drop Technique Galaxies at z~6: I-drop Photometric Selection and the GLARE Project STScI May Symposium 2004 ● UV luminous, star forming galaxies at high redshift show a strong spectral break at rest =1216Å (Lyman ) ● This leads to a large drop in magnitude between bands bracketing this wavelength which can be detected using a multicolour photometric technique. ● The Lyman Break Method (Guhathakurta et al 1990, Steidel et al 1995) Starburst at z=6 f For galaxies at
