Studying Cosmology and Galaxy Evolution with SPHEREx
2024-12-25 14:20 - 15:20
Abstract:
SPHEREx, an upcoming NASA satellite mission, is set to launch in early 2025. With its all-sky near-infrared spectral imaging survey covering 0.75–5 μm, SPHEREx will address key questions in cosmology, galaxy formation, and the origins of biogenic signatures, using its low-resolution spectroscopic catalog and near-infrared spectral images. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the SPHEREx mission, its main science targets in cosmology and galaxy evolution, and discuss additional opportunities with the SPHEREx dataset.
