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.
