Title:
Resolving fuel and products of SF in a lensed dusty protocluster core at z=2.7
Agreement Number:
25JWGO4B08
Agreement Value:
$35,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 11, 2026 - Mar 31, 2028
Description:
This VLA+JWST project aims to study the gas-rich protocluster J08 (z = 2.66), hosting 11 dusty star-forming galaxies with a total SFR > 5000 M☉/yr. VLA CO(1-0) and JWST/NIRCam data will trace molecular gas and stellar populations to examine how dense environments drive galaxy evolution at Cosmic Noon, completing a full CO and [CI] line analysis when combined with existing ALMA observations.
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.
