The Andromeda Stream
The existence of a stream of tidally stripped stars from the Sagittarius
Dwarf galaxy demonstrates that the Milky Way is still in the process of
accreting mass. More recently, an extensive stream of stars has been uncovered
in the halo of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), revealing that it too is
cannibalizing a small companion. This paper reports the recent observations of
this stream, determining it spatial and kinematic properties, and tracing its
three-dimensional structure, as well as describing future observations and what
we may learn about the Andromeda galaxy from this giant tidal stream.Comment: 3 Pages. Refereed contribution to the 5th Galacto Chemodynamics

Morphology and evolution of emission line galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
We investigate the properties and evolution of a sample of galaxies selected
to have prominent emission lines in low-resolution grism spectra of the Hubble
Ultra Deep Field (HUDF). These objects, eGRAPES, are late type blue galaxies,
characterized by small proper sizes (R_50 < 2 kpc) in the 4350A rest-frame, low
masses (5x10^9 M_sun), and a wide range of luminosities and surface
brightnesses. The masses, sizes and volume densities of these objects appear to
change very little up to a redshift of z=1.5. On the other hand, their surface
brightness decreases significantly from z=1.5 to z=0 while their mass-to-light
ratio increases two-folds. This could be a sign that most of low redshift
eGRAPES have an older stellar population than high redshift eGRAPES and hence
that most eGRAPES formed at higher redshifts. The average volume density of
eGRAPES is (1.8 \pm 0.3)x10^{-3} Mpc^{-3} between 0.3 < z < 1.5. Many eGRAPES
would formally have been classified as Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies (LCBGs)
if these had been selected based on small physical size, blue intrinsic color,
and high surface brightness, while the remainder of the sample discussed in
this paper forms an extension of LCBGs towards fainter luminosities.Comment: Accepted, to appear in Ap
Direct evidence for an early reionization of the Universe?
We examine the possible reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) by the
source UDF033238.7-274839.8 (hereafter HUDF-JD2), which was discovered in deep
{\it HST}/VLT/{\it Spitzer} images obtained as part of the Great Observatory
Origins Deep Survey and {\it Hubble} Ultra-Deep Field projects. Mobasher et al
(2005) have identified HUDF-JD2 as a massive ()
post-starburst galaxy at redshift z. We find that HUDF-JD2 may be
capable of reionizing its surrounding region of the Universe, starting the
process at a redshift as high as z.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures. Accepted for publication in ApJ Letter
