Descripción
EMIR is a wide-field, near-IR spectrograph currently under development
for the Nasmyth focus of the Spanish 10.4m GTC at Canary Islands. EMIR
will provide imaging and multi-slit spectroscopy in the ˜1-2.5
micron domain at a resolution of R˜5000-4000. This paper reviews
the status of the project, including instrumental developments and main
science drivers, focusing the GOYA Survey, a scientific program to be
developed mainly using the guaranteed time of the international
consortium building EMIR. The GOYA project addresses the formation and
evolution of galaxies, in particular the structure, dynamics and
integrated stellar populations of galaxies at high redshift. One of the
main goals of the GOYA survey is the identification and study of z ≥
7 sources, both in lensing clusters and in the field. The aim is to
build up a statistically significant sample of galaxies with secure
redshifts, and to study their physical properties using their broad-band
spectral energy distribution in one hand, and their emission line
properties on the other hand. The first results obtained from our
photometric surveys in lensing fields and in the blank field CFHT WIRCAM
Ultra Deep Survey (WUDS), which are intended to provide a robust
selection of targets for GOYA, are also presented and briefly discussed.
