Funded Activity Summary

Detailed spectrophotometric/velocity mapping of galaxies and identifying transient Gamma-Ray Burst Sources (GRBs) and the first stars with the unique upgraded Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) facility. This project will allow light from galaxies be more efficiently detected and analysed. In particular details of a galaxy's composition, rotation, recessional velocity and star formation history will be possible following extensive refurbishment of the Siding Spring Observatory's Wide Field Spectrograph and installation of new extremely sensitive charged couple device (CCD) detectors.
