The scientific legacy of Hubble Telescope’s Deep Fields
Abstract
Robert Williams
The scientific legacy of Hubble Telescope’s Deep Fields
The history of how and why the original Hubble Deep Field was undertaken will be described, including the features that made it unique. The improved characteristics of the subsequent HST deep fields will be explained, including how they helped lead to the discoveries of dark energy, the distribution of dark matter, and the rate of star formation since the Big Bang. The results of all the deep fields combined with recent detailed numerical simulations from supercomputers has now produced a realistic model for galaxy formation and evolution over cosmic time.
