I work on EDGE
(Explorer of Diffuse Galaxy Emission), a south-pole-ballooning
experiment designed to detect anisotropy in the cosmic infra-red
background (CIB). This irreducible cosmic radiation, which was first
observed relatively recently (1996), comes to us from times as early as
the era when stars first formed. EDGE will measure anisotropy in this
radiation, providing information on the large-scale distribution of
young and newly forming galaxies within a wide time (redshift)
interval. This information is valuable for understanding the
formation and evolution of stars and galaxies, and large-scale
structure formation in general. EDGE will use Frequency Selective
Bolometers (FSBs), a new technology, which provides an extremely
compact scheme for multi-frequency observations. |
