We present new results from our search for z∼ 7 galaxies from deep spectroscopic observations of candidate z-dropouts in the CANDELS fields. Despite the extremely low flux limits achieved by our sensitive observations, only 2 galaxies have robust redshift identifications, one from its Lyα emission line at z=6.65, the other from its Lyman-break, i.e. the continuum discontinuity at the Lyα wavelength consistent with a redshift 6.42, but with no emission line. In addition, for 23 galaxies we present deep limits in the Lyα EW derived from the non detections in ultra-deep observations. Using this new data as well as previous …

Aims: We aim to determine the redshift of GDS_1408, the most solid z _ 7 galaxy candidate lying in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Methods: We have used all the VLT spectra of GDS_1408 collected by us and two other groups with FORS2 at VLT in the last five years, for a total integration time of 52hr. The combined spectrum is the deepest ever obtained of a galaxy in the Reionization epoch. Results: We do not detect any emission line or continuum over the whole wavelength range, up to 10100Å. Based on an accurate set of simulations, we are able …
