AST-9900806A deep wide field infrared survey: old galaxies at high redshiftsSven PerssonDr. Persson in conducting a near infrared and optical survey to study galaxies at redshifts from 1 to 2. His team has access to a four-channel mosaic infrared imager (at Carnegie and at Cambridge) that allows them to survey one square degree to depths sufficient to detect galaxies more than a magnitude fainter than L* at z = 1 and L* galaxies to z = 2. They plan to locate the oldest galaxies present, derive their space density and luminosity functions for comparison with lower redshifts as a test for luminosity and density evolution. They expect to detect 3000 galaxies and estimate their redshifts to +/-0.2. The fields have been chosen to reachable with the Very Large Array (VLA).***

AST-9900806 A深宽视场红外巡天：高红移的老星系。在进行近红外和光学调查，研究星系的红移从1到2。 他的团队可以使用四通道镶嵌红外成像仪（卡内基和剑桥），使他们能够测量一平方度的深度，足以检测比z = 1时的L* 和z = 2时的L* 星系暗一个多星等的星系。 他们计划找到最古老的星系，推导出它们的空间密度和光度函数，与较低的红移进行比较，作为光度和密度演化的测试。 他们预计将探测到3000个星系，并估计它们的红移为+/-0.2。这些字段已被选择为可通过超大型阵列（VLA）访问。*
