FIRES: The Study of Near-IR Selected High Redshift Galaxies

The FIRE survey is a deep NIR survey of two fields of the sky, supplemented with optical imaging, both from groundbased telescopes and HST. The goal is to improve our understanding of the high redshift universe, and to measure the evolution and formation of galaxies.

During the weeklong meeting, we discuss results from the survey, and related programs.

The format of the workshop will allow ample time for small group discussions and new analysis. Furthermore, we will plan new observing sessions, and the work for the coming year.

This meeting is intended for those who are directly involved in the FIRE survey or related

surveys.
