چکیده
The Galaxy Evolution Probe (GEP) is a concept for mid- and far-infrared space observatory to measure key properties of large samples galaxies with unbiased surveys. GEP will attempt achieve zodiacal light Galactic dust emission photon background-limited observations by utilizing 6-K, 2.0-m primary mirror sensitive arrays kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs). It have two instrument modules: 10 400 ?m hyperspectral imager spectral resolution R = ? / ?? ? 8 (GEP-I) 24 193 ?m, 200 grating spectrometer (GEP-S). GEP-I surveys identify star-forming via their thermal simultaneously redshifts using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon lines. luminosities derived from star formation nuclear supermassive black hole accretion be measured each source, enabling the cosmic history much greater precision than previously possible. Using optically thin fine-structure lines, GEP-S growth metallicity in hearts over time extraplanar gas mapped spiral local universe investigate feedback processes. science case mission architecture designed meet requirements described, KID readout electronics state art needed developments are described. This paper supersedes study report cited it providing new content, including: summary recent mid-infrared development, discussion microlens array fabrication KIDs, additional context galaxy reader interested more technical details may want consult report.

Galaxy Formation and Evolution: the Local Galaxy Population as a Cosmological Probe
We use the two-degree field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) to test the hierarchical scaling hypothesis: namely, that the p-point galaxy correlation functions can be written in terms of the two point correlation function or variance. This scaling is expected if an initially Gaussian distribution of density fluctuations evolves under the action of gravitational instability. We measure the volume...
متن کاملThe Optical Properties of Gravitational Lens Galaxies as a Probe of Galaxy Structure and Evolution
We combine photometry and lens modeling to study the properties of 17 gravitational lens galaxies between z = 0.1 and ∼1. Most of the lens galaxies are passively evolving early-type galaxies, with a few spirals. The colors, scale lengths, and ellipticities of lens galaxies are similar to those of the general population of early-type galaxies, although there may be a deficit of apparently round ...
متن کاملGalaxy Evolution with Alma
The submillimeter and millimeter domains are privileged for the exploration of galaxies at high redshift, because of the negative K-correction: the peak of the dust emission at 60-100 microns is red-shifted in these domains. Already blind surveys in blank fields with today instrumentation have discovered in the continuum of the order of one object per square arcmin, with large limitations due t...
