Description
Recent upgrades to the Hubble Space Telescope have given observers their deepest look into our Universe yet, seeing nearly 13 billion years into the past. This new observational data has presented those of us that use simulations to study the early Universe a benchmark opportunity to evaluate the ability of these codes to reproduce the photometric properties being observed. Establishing this agreement allows us to probe deeper into the physical properties such as mass, star formation histories and star formation rates of these early galaxies. This research lays the ground work for examining the contribution of primordial galaxies to the re-ionization of the Universe.
