In Big Bang cosmology, the early history of the unverise is characterised by three distinct phases: the initial expansion, during which time Big Bang nucleosynthesis occurs, and the universe cools from its initial exceedingly high temperatures; recombination, which occurs at a redshift z~1,100 (or an age of ~400,000 years), when the Universe was cool enough to allow neutral hydrogen to become dominant, leading to high opacity and the cosmic microwave background; and reionisation, when energy sources reionised hydrogen, reducing the opacity of the intergalactic medium and restoring transparency. Reionisation is generally believed to have occurred at a redshift between z~6 and z~20, with the ionising sources either (or both) the first generation of stars (Population III starbursts) and/or proto-quasars. The IGM remains ionised thereafter. A key issue in developing an understanding of this process is assessing how readily starburst-generated Lyman-alpha emission escapes from galaxies, and how starbursts contribute to reionisation at intermediate redshifts. This proposal aims to quantify this matter by targeting galaxies at redshifts 1 < z < 2 for observations at ultraviolet wavelengths with the Advanced Camera for Surveys Solar Blind Channel (ACS/SBC). |

Type II supernovae are produced by core collapse in stars exceeding ~7 solar masses. These massive stars support a complex series of nuclear reactions on the main sequence, ranging from hydrogen fusion near the surface to silicon reactions that build up the iron core. This produces an internal onion-ring structure, with a wide range of chemical species that are blasted into the interstellar medium when the core exceeds the Chandrasekhar mass an implodes. These supernovae are widely hypothesised as a potent source of interstellar dust, with the material condesning within the cooling ejecta. However, observations have so far provided only lukewarm support for these theoretical expectations. This proposal combines optical and near-infrared HST observations of recent type II supernovae, using WFPC2 and NICMOS, respectively, with mid-infrared imaging with IRAC and MIPS on Spitzer. The aim is to use the multiwavelength imaging to probe the evolution of the dust content in the surrounding ejecta. NICMOS observations of SN2006BC in NGC 2397. |
