Abstract (from CDS):

We present an analysis of physical properties of 34 [O III] emission-line galaxies (ELGs) at z = 3.254 ± 0.029 in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS). These ELGs are selected from deep narrow H2S(1) and broad Ks imaging of 383 arcmin2 obtained with CFHT/WIRCam. We construct spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from U to Ks to derive the physical properties of ELGs. These [O III] ELGs are identified as starburst galaxies with strong [O III] lines of LOIII ∼ 1042.6-1044.2 erg s–1 and have stellar masses of M* ∼ 109.0-1010.6M☉ and star formation rates of ∼10-210 M☉ yr–1. Our results show that 24% of our sample galaxies are dusty with AV > 1 mag and EW([O III])rest ∼ 70-500 Å, which are often missed in optically selected [O III] ELG samples. Their rest-frame UV and optical morphologies from HST/ACS and HST/WFC3 deep imaging reveal that these [O III] ELGs are mostly multiple-component systems (likely mergers) or compact. And 20% of them are nearly invisible in the rest-frame UV owing to heavy dust attenuation. Interestingly, we find that our sample ELGs reside in an overdensity consisting of two components: one southeast (SE) with an overdensity factor of δgal ∼ 41 over a volume of 133 cMpc3, and the other northwest (NW) with δgal ∼ 38 over a volume of 103 cMpc3. The two overdense substructures are expected to be virialized at z = 0 with a total mass of ∼ 1.1 x 1015M☉ and ∼ 4.8 x 1014M☉ and probably merge into a Coma-like galaxy cluster.
