Enabling Infrared Surveys of Galaxies with Innovative Imaging Spectrographs

Event Start:

Event Information:

Optical integral field (imaging) spectroscopic surveys of large numbers of galaxies are now becoming the norm. These surveys allow detailed studies of individual galaxies, which include their stellar/gas kinematics and stellar populations. With a sufficiently large sample, these types of observations are the best tools for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. However, similar surveys in the infrared remain challenging.
