Agreement Date:
Mar 7, 2025 - Mar 1, 2027
Description:
The distant galaxy cluster SPT2349-56 will be studied using HST and JWST in optical through mid-infrared filters. The JWST NIRCam and MIRI instruments will be used to measure the stellar properties, star formation rates and histories, and galaxy morphologies of the member galaxies. This will allow a full characterization of the stars, gas, and dust in this cosmologically important protocluster of primordial starburst galaxies.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
