The era of JWST Thank you! * * Template SEDs are constructed at z~0, and must be modified for appropriate interstellar and (especially) intergalactic absorption, to approximate what they must look like at high redshifts. It is also difficult to guess what the astrophysical details of any given galaxy or galaxy populations - metallicity, star formation history, initial mass function, dust extinction/reddening law, dust distribution, etc, are all competing and often degenerate issues. * CDFS-12485 SiII 1260, OI/SiII 1303, CII 1334, SiIV 1394,1402, SiII 1527, CIV 1549, FeII 1608 * 1967-1997: Many searches, no galaxies (except ne ar previously known high-z objects): (Koo Kron 1980; Pritchet Hartwick 1987, 1990; Cowie 1988; Rhee et al 1989; Smith et al 1989; Lowenthal et al 1990; Wolfe et al 1992; De Propris et al 1992; Macchetto et al 1993; Moller Warren 1993; Djorgovski + Thompson + Smith + Trauger in various permutations, 1992 through 1995). * * * * * * 4 eras. Schematically, like to know how we went from smooth last scattering to complicated universe today. Big question is what happened around time of first galaxies. * * * * Lya SDSS high-z quasar and Gunn-Peterson Trough Quasars are much more luminous than normal galaxies, and could be detected at larger distances. However they are rare. A γ-ray burst at a redshift of z~8.2 How to find high redshift galaxies?

(What colors?) * The intergalactic opacity suppresses flux below 912? * Therefore, us
