Current Research
My current research activities are mainly in two areas: 1) studies of
the properties of the inter-galactic medium and the gaseous content of
the Universe as probes of the formation and evolution of structure in
the Universe, and 2) studies of galaxies and large scale structure at
redshifts between one and four as traced by the distribution of
individual, groups, and clusters of galaxies. I also continue to be
involved in studies of various classes of active galaxies.
I am co-PI, together with Arjun Dey, of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field
Survey, a deep optical (Bw,R,I) and near-infrared
(J,H,K) imaging survey that will sample the sky in two 9 square
degree patches. The survey is designed
to:
- Investigate the existence and evolution of large scale
structures at redshifts z>1 as sampled by a diverse set of objects.
- Provide the astronomical community a sensitive
multicolor-database of objects from which samples may be selected for
other interesting problems.
Further details and status updates can be found on the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey Web page.
