Title: |
A search for distant radio galaxies |
|
Project Description: |
We are searching for the most distant galaxies using their
radio and infrared properties. Why radio galaxies? Because they are
the brightest and most massive galaxies, and radio waves are not
affected by dust which absorbs optical light. We are measuring
redshifts for selected radio galaxies that reach back to times when
the universe was less than half its present age. |
