• Ionization mechanism. Likely a mixed bag of:
– Photoionization due to SF regions (cannot explain 30%)
– Photoionization produced by AGN (seems not general)
– Photoionization by diffuse UV background (too weak)
– Shock heating due to starburst driven superwinds
– Cooling radiation from gas accreting over DM haloes

• Scientific strategy: − Detecting LAEs/LABS using OSIRIS blue TF
− 3 × 10−18 erg/cm2/s/arcsec2 at S/N=3
− Observing “optical” emission lines in the NIR (EMIR MOS or CIRCE)
• Products (assuming same number at each z as of z = 3.1):− 45 LABs (the brightest 10% could be observed in GTC NIR spectroscopy)
− 436 LAEs
− 75 DLAs
• Then: ~529 objects (LABs, LAEs and DLAs) plus [OII] & [OIII] outliers
• Science:− LAEs LF vs z (exploring the “knee” between GALEX at 0.3 and 2.0)
− LABs at different z (looking for start and end of its formation)
− LAEs and LABs ionized gas properties via NIR spectroscopy
⋅ Ionization mechanism via Lyα/Hα
⋅ SFR
⋅ Metallicities via [NII]/Hα
