Oral Presentation

Charting the High-Redshift Universe with PFS-SSP

Author(s): Daichi Kashino

Presenter: Daichi Kashino (NAOJ)

The PFS-SSP Galaxy Evolution (GE) pillar includes a dedicated high-redshift component designed to explore galaxy formation and the intergalactic environment during the first few billion years of cosmic history. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the key science goals of the high-z program, including the evolution of star-forming galaxies across z~4--7, the connection between galaxies and the intergalactic medium, and constraints on the late stages of cosmic reionization. I will describe our target selection strategy and summarize the current status of observations. If ready, I will also present some early results, such as spectroscopic confirmations, statistical properties of Lyman-break galaxies and Lyman-alpha emitters, and the Ly-alpha emission properties.
