SLIDE 5 Introduction: Why z=1-2?
- z=1-3 is dramatic and violent epoch galaxy evolution in the universe
✓ Global peak or drastic change of various quantities of galaxies ✴ Star formation rate density (global SF activity in the universe) peaked at z~2 ✴ Number density of QSO also peaked at z~2 ✴ Emergence of morphology such as Hubble sequence at z~2 ✓ This is very important phase to understand the galaxy evolution ✓ Spectroscopic nature is difficult to measure at this redshift range (redshift desert)
- Emission lines such as Hα, Hβ [NII], [OIII] enter into near-infrared wavelength region
✓ Spectroscopic observations in NIR is time-consuming ✓ Large spectroscopic observations with FMOS on Subaru Telescope
