Description

Studies of early galaxy formation are crucial for understanding the processes that have shaped the current Universe. Galaxies with intense star formation at z $>$ 6 are key to events such as reionization, but their faintness limits detailed studies. At lower redshifts (z $\sim$ 1), analogous galaxies allow for better characterization. Extreme Emission Line Galaxies (EELGs) stand out due to their high equivalent widths ($\sim$1000 Å), high specific star formation rates, low metallicities, and low masses. We aim to characterize the physical properties of a sample of 122 EELGs at 0.7 $<$ z $<$ 2, photometrically selected from the Extended Groth Strip catalog, obtaining results consistent with previous studies (Van Der Wel et al. 2011).
