Descripción
The techniques and some preliminary results on the study of the
luminosity function (LF) of Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) through
gravitational lensing (GL) are presented. Clusters of galaxies, with
suitably modeled gravitational lenses, are observed using the tunable
filters (TF) of the instrument OSIRIS at the GTC. The combination GLs,
and the higher contrast achievable by the TF, will allow the detection
of very faint LAEs, reaching a step forward in understanding this
primordial objects together with achieving a better determination of the
mass distribution on the inner regions of galaxy clusters.
