The physics of galaxy evolution with EAGLE (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Puech, M., Lehnert, M., Yang, Y., Cuby, J. .-G., Morris, S., Evans, C., Neichel, B., Fusco, T., Rousset, G., & Flores, H. (2009, June). The physics of galaxy evolution with EAGLE. Presented at 1st AO4ELT conference - Adaptive Optics for Extremely Large Telescopes, Paris, France

One of the prominent science goal of the ELTs will be to study the physics and mass assembly of galaxies at very high redshifts. Here, we present the galaxy evolution science case for EAGLE, which is a NIR multi-integral field spectrograph for the E-... Read More about The physics of galaxy evolution with EAGLE.
