Speaker: Richard Feder-Staehle ( Caltech) Title: Uncovering the Near-Infrared Universe through Galaxy Surveys and Intensity Mapping
December 8, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Date: Friday, December 8, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Location: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person]
Speaker: Richard Feder-Staehle (Caltech)
Title: Uncovering the Near-Infrared Universe through Galaxy Surveys and Intensity Mapping
Abstract: In this talk I will discuss two complementary methods for measuring large-scale structure, namely through galaxy surveys and broad-band intensity mapping. In the first half will present updated galaxy simulations and redshift forecasts for SPHEREx, NASA’s next MIDEX mission which will conduct the first all-sky spectrophotometric survey in the near-infrared (0.75 – 5 um, R~30-140). In the second half I will present preliminary results from a fluctuation analysis of imager data taken at 1.1 and 1.8 um during the final flight of the Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment (CIBER), a sounding rocket payload designed to characterize and decompose the extragalactic background light.
