 GLASS G141 spectra of the two potential line emitters at ﹩z\sim 10﹩ from the Silver_EL sample. The white circles mark the detected line emission. The objects were selected as Lyman break dropouts. However, highly likely low-redshift solutions in the EAzY p(z) suggest that the lines could also be [O II] at ﹩z\sim 2.6﹩. Given the location of the lines at 1.32 and 1.37 μm, the G141 spectrum does not cover [O III], and the resolution does not allow us to resolve the potential [O II] doublet or detect the asymmetry of Lyα. With the current data we therefore cannot rule out the high-redshift scenario.
