BoRG collaborator Rychard Bouwens (Leiden University) has been awarded up to 25.8 hours of priority 1 observing time with Spitzer/IRAC to follow-up BoRG sources! Spitzer/IRAC will provide the much needed IR observations to distinguish between the true z ~ 9…
First BoRG[z9-10] field
BoRG Cycle 22 observations started on October 27, 2014 with the first out of more than 110 planned fields acquired. Here is a preview with an optical+near-IR color composite:
BoRG Cycle 22 is approved for 32 days of observing time!
A new BoRG survey has been approved for Cycle 22! We boldly proposed to extend the search for the brightest galaxies that Hubble can detect, focusing on redshift z~10 (just 500 Myr after the Big Bang), and we obtained what…
Last few (~10) Cycle 19 fields acquired in early 2013
