Help us use the light from distant galaxies to look back in time to the early universe!

Redshift Wrangler

Our project involves two tasks we need your help with: 

(1) You can "Identify Spectral Features" to help us find real emission and absorption lines in galaxy spectra that will help us measure the redshifts, and therefore distances, of galaxies! Task 1 Sandbox works through Task 1 with our DEIMOS data and provides simpler, less-noisy spectra to practice this task while you help us add classifications to an earlier dataset.  

(2) You can also "Check Spectral Fits" to help us find any problems in the automated fits to the spectra that our computers perform once we know the redshift. 

*Note: Not all workflows may be available at all times.*
