The high-redshift galaxies became a distinct research ?eld during
the ?nal decade of the20thcentury.
AtthattimetheLyman-breaktechniquemadeitpossibletoidentify
signi?cant samples of such objects, and the new generation of 8 to
10-m telescopes resulted in ?rst good spectroscopic data. Today the
high-redshift galaxies have developed into one of the important
topics of astrophysics, accounting for about 5-10% of the
publications in the major scienti?c journals devoted to astronomy.
Because high-redshift galaxies is a rapidly developing ?eld and
since new results are published constantly, writing a book on this
topic is challenging. On the other hand, in view of the large
amount of individual results now in the literature, and in view of
the still growing interest in this topic, it appears worthwhile to
summarize and evaluate the available data and to provide an
introduction for those who wish to enter this ?eld, or who, for
various reasons, might be interested in its results. The end of the
?rst decade of the 21st century appears to be a good point in time
to attempt such a summary. The current generation of ground-based 8
to 10-m - optical telescopes, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the
most important large radio telescopes have by now been in operation
since about one or two decades. Although these instruments will
continue to produce important scienti?c results for some time to
come, many of the initial programs exploiting their unique new
possibilities have been completed.
