Title: "The 8 O'clock Arc: current and future follow-up plans"

Abstract:

The newly discovered brightest lensed Lyman Break Galaxy (LBG) currently known (the 8 O'clock Arc, Allam et al. 2007), will allow several follow-up observations, as well as the creation of new tools for searching for similar bright gravitationally lensed objects in the SDSS data set. Here we discuss the photometric properties of the 8 O'clock Arc, and briefly describe a search program for similar candidate and our future plans.
