Integral-field studies of the high-redshift Universe
We present results from a new method of exploring the distant Universe. We
use 3-D spectroscopy to sample a large cosmological volume at a time when the
Universe was less than 3 billion years old to investigate the evolution of
star-formation activity. Within this study we also discovered a high redshift
type-II quasar which would not have been identified with imaging studies alone.
This highlights the crucial role that integral-field spectroscopy may play in
surveying the distant Universe in the future.Comment: From proceedings of Euro3D Spectroscopy annual RTN network meeting
