0 Assigned ID: 540 ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Fri Apr 11 15:53:30 GMT 2014) ----- The HST campaign Frontier Fields will discover an even larger sample of galaxies at redshifts greater than 6. We propose to make observational predictions for this high-redshift population, using a suite of high-resolution cosmological simulations, that will enable the correlation between key observables and the physical properties of the first galaxies in the universe. These simulations will have finished before Cycle 22, and this proposal focuses on the analysis of the simulated galaxies. The primary goal of this proposal is to constrain the following properties: (1) star formation histories and stellar populations, (2) nebular emission and dust extinction, (3) the faint end of the luminosity function, (4) cosmic variance, and (5) galaxy morphology and structure. We will make all of the analysis data products publicly available. We will also provide a Markov Chain Monte Carlo tool to the public that will calculate the most likely galaxy properties, such as stellar mass, metallicity, and ages, given a redshift, half-light radius, and magnitudes/spectra.
