N: 53+2142+35
Object:LBG  (SIMBAD class: Galaxy)
Note:The VLT LBG Redshift Survey (VLRS) primary aim is to investigate the links between galaxies and the inter-galactic medium (IGM) at redshifts of ∼3. This is being conducted via a large redshift survey of Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) across a large number of fields centred on bright z∼3 QSOs.
