RCS0224-002 is a massive galaxy cluster at z=0.77,
and was first identified using the Red Cluster Sequence
project. This galaxy cluster was found to contain a number of
giant luminous arcs. Follow-up spectroscopy confirmed
a redshift of
z=4.88 for the red arc to the North West of the galaxy cluster. Our
observations follow-up this galaxy using the VIMOS and SINFONI IFU's on
the VLT to probe the internal properties of this z=4.88 lensed LBG.

The "VIMOS movie" is a movie generated from the datacube. At
z=4.88, Ly-alpha(1215) is redshifted to 7148A. The movie plays the
datacube between a wavelength range 6080 to 8200 Angstroms (the short
version covers 7000-7400).
