Description
Emission line galaxies are the most easily detected and studied objects in the high redshift Universe. They are being used to trace the evolution of the critical observables of the Universe such as star formation rate densities, starburst properties, and abundances. The GTC will be a very powerful tool for studying the evolution of emission line galaxy populations at different redshifts. Large surveys, such as OTELO, carried out with OSIRIS and extended by follow-up spectroscopic studies in the near infrared using EMIR will enable the GTC to make a major impact in extragalactic astronomy.
