Abstract
The system as a whole is slightly brighter than L relative to the z ~ 3 Lyman break population, and the total star formation rate inferred from the UV continuum is ≈22 h M☉ yr-1 (q0 = 0.5) assuming the absence of dust extinction. The two individual galaxies are quite small (size scales 1 h kpc). Thus these galaxies superficially resemble the "building blocks" of Pascarelle and coworkers; if they comprise a gravitationally bound system, the pair will likely merge in a timescale ~100 Myr.Keywords
