A Lyman-break galaxy (LBG) is a class of distant galaxy observed in the early universe, typically characterized by a significant drop in ultraviolet (UV) light at wavelengths shorter than the Lyman limit (approximately 121.6 nanometers). This Lyman limit corresponds to the transition of hydrogen atoms from their ground state to a higher energy state.
