Projects
Science projects and surveys (completed and ongoing)
- "AstroSignals: A New Window on the Universe, with the New Generation of Large Radio-Astronomy Facilities" a Swiss SINERGIA network
- The Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Survey: a HST Large Programme to measure Lyman Continuum radiation from a large sample of star-forming galaxies at z~0.3 (GO 15626)
- ALPINE: The “ALMA Large Program to INvestigate galaxies at Early times”, is a cycle 5 Large Programme to pioneer the measurement of the ISM, dynamics, and star formation properties of 94 spectroscopically confirmed 4 < z < 6 main-sequence galaxies
- VANDELS: an ESO public spectroscopic survey targeting high-redshift galaxies within the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) and UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) survey fields.
- The VIMOS Ultra-Deep Survey (VUDS): a Legacy survey of ~10,000 galaxies observed with VLT/VIMOS to make a complete census of the star-for ming galaxy population at 2 ≤ z ≤ 6.7
- STARFORM: a Swiss SINERGIA network on “Star formation in galaxies from the Milky Way to the distant Universe” – observations and simulations
