The ultraviolet spectral slope of high-redshift galaxies

The slope of the ultraviolet continuum emissions from a galaxy between 1250 and 2600 Å provides insights about several facets of the galaxy. Mainly, it is well-correlated with the amount of dust. This work presents a search for objects whose UV-continuum slopes are excessively steep, as well as sugg...
