The installation of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on theHubble Space Telescope (HST) allows for the first time two-dimensional opticaland ultraviolet slitless spectroscopy of faint objects from space. The STISParallel Survey (SPS) routinely obtains broad band images and slitless spectraof random fields in parallel with HST observations using other instruments. TheSPS is designed to study a wide variety of astrophysical phenomena, includingthe rate of star formation in galaxies at intermediate to high redshift throughthe detection of emission-line galaxies. We present the first results of theSPS, which demonstrate the capability of STIS slitless spectroscopy to detectand identify high-redshift galaxies.Comment: 11 pages, Latex, 3 enclosed Postscript figures, aaspp4.sty, accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters HST Second Servicing Mission special issu
