AST-9802963 Windhorst Dr. Windhorst and colleagues will prepare for a study of the evolution and formation of faint field and radio galaxies by purchasing and characterizing a specially designed set of 15 medium band filters. These filters are designed to cover most of the optical spectrum between night sky lines and allow precise and accurate spectrophotometry. With this filter set in place, they will be well prepared to carry out an extensive deep imaging survey of several well studied fields that will allow them to find and characterize the evolution of distant objects over a large redshift range. ***

温德霍斯特博士和他的同事们将通过购买和鉴定一套专门设计的15个中波段滤光片，为研究弱场和射电星系的演化和形成做准备。这些滤光片被设计成覆盖夜空线之间的大部分光谱，并允许进行精确和准确的分光光度测量。有了这个过滤器，他们将做好充分准备，对几个经过充分研究的领域进行广泛的深度成像调查，这将使他们能够发现和描述远距离天体在大红移范围内的演化。***
