Abstract

We present the latest results of the survey searching for the nature of UV-selected galaxies in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey fields. By searching for UV-bright galaxies at intermediate redshifts (z ~ 1) we aim at understanding the nature of star-forming galaxies and their counterparts at higher-z, the so-called Lyman Break Galaxies.
