Ly α emitters (LAEs) may represent an important galaxy population in the low-mass regime. We present our deep narrowband imaging surveys in the COSMOS and ECDF-S fields and study the properties of LAEs at z  = 2.23 ± 0.03. The narrowband surveys conducted at the Magellan II telescope allow us to obt...
