Abstract

The evolution of the properties of galaxy populations with redshift provides important constraints on current models of galaxy formation and evolution. In order to investigate this evolution we used the FORS instruments at the VLT to obtain high-S/N galaxy spectra at redshifts up to 5.0 in the FORS Deep Field (FDF). A detailed discussion of the project can be found in [4].
