UKIDSS Observing 2010

Lead Research Organisation: University of Sussex
Department Name: Sch of Mathematical & Physical Sciences

Abstract

UKIDSS will perform a relatively deep sky survey in the near-infrared. Near-IR light provides a good tracer of the mass in evolved stars, and so this survey will be used to constrain the evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function and the evolution of clustering of samples of galaxies selected by stellar mass.
