Abstract (from CDS):

We report on the discovery of a star-forming galaxy at z=6.33 in the Subaru Deep Field. This object is selected as a candidate of an i'-dropout high-redshift galaxy around z=6 because of its red i'-z' color in our deep optical imaging survey in the Subaru Deep Field. Our follow-up optical spectroscopy reveals that this object is a strong Lyα emitter with only very faint ultraviolet continuum. The rest-frame equivalent width of the detected Lyα emission is as much as 130 Å. Thus the light detected in our z' image is largely attributed to the Lyα emission, i.e., ∼40% of the z'-band flux is the strong Lyα emission, giving a very red i'-z' color. This is consistent with the photometric property of this object because the narrowband data obtained with the NB921 filter show a significant depression, z'-NB921=-0.54 mag. By using the photometric data, we show that some other objects among the 48 i'-dropout high-redshift galaxy candidates found in the Subaru Deep Field also show a significant NB921 depression. We briefly discuss the nature of these NB921-depressed objects.
