Abstract

We apply a new approach to quantifying galaxy morphology and identifying galaxy mergers to the rest-frame far-ultraviolet images of 82 z~4 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) and 55 1.2 2.5 and Petrosian radii >0.3". Ten of the 82 LBGs have M20>=-1.1 and possess bright double or multiple nuclei, implying a major-merger fraction of star-forming galaxies ~10%-25% at MFUV =0.55, M20
