Published purpose
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data. This project is designed to look for the faintest possible sources of Reionization, tiny dwarf galaxies. This program employs a novel approach of detecting dwarf galaxies based on their star-formation rate, instead of their total mass. Some of the filters in the projects are designed to detect emission from ultra-hot, ultra-low metallicity stars. These could result in the detection of some of the first stars to form in the universe.
