The First Billion Years of History Finding the Earliest Galaxies [1]

Date: 
Thursday, April 19, 2012 - 12:00
Location: 
AURA Lecture Hall
Speaker: 
Andrew Bunker, Department of Physics, University of Oxford & Gemini South Visiting Astronomer
Talk Abstract: 

I will discuss how we can use deep Hubble Space Telescope images with WFC3 to identify candidate galaxies at very high redshift (z>6) and how ground-based follow-up with large telescopes such as Gemini is important for confirmation. I will discuss the role  of these early star-forming galaxies.
