| Abstract: |
The Dark Energy Camera on the Blanco 4-meter telescope not only has the focal
plane size the 4 meters telescope were built for, but also has excellent near
infrared response. A DECam Deep Fields program is outlined, which can reach
M* galaxies at redshift z∼6 at a wavelength of one micron. What re-ionized the
universe, when did globular clusters form, were there very massive stars and
how did they end, and how did supermassive black holes emerge a few hundred
million years after the Big Bang? These are some of the questions wide field
high-z surveys in the infrared will open to observational study. |
