Aerial view of telescopes on Maunakea. Keck and Subaru will be used to conduct research.
Researchers will conduct spectroscopic follow-up of interesting galaxies at the W.M. Keck Observatory and Subaru Telescope. Subaru’s new instrument called the Prime Focus Spectrograph will be crucial for determining distances to all galaxies in the
JWST survey.
The program will log more than 200 hours of observation time on Maunakea to conduct an ambitious survey of half a million galaxies. An unprecedented 32,000 galaxies will be observed using mid-infrared imaging. Researchers will rapidly release data to the public so it can lead to other studies.
