High redshift galaxies in the ELT era.


This page reports examples of simulated images of relatively high redshift galaxies as would be observed with E-ELT (42m) and the NIR MCAO camera   MICADO. To simulate the objects we used the MAORY PSF and galaxy template from the local Universe. Cosmological transformation and k-corrections have been applied adopting concordant cosmological parameters. Simulation were provided by AETC tool.




Micado@E-ELT (42m) simulated image (by AETC) : A spiral galaxy at z = 1 ( 5h total integration).  FoV= 1.5 arcsec.  Color composition (J, H, K filters )
