Ultra Deep Field Science with WFIRST
Abstract
This whitepaper motivates an Ultra-Deep Field survey with WFIRST, covering at least 100× the area of the HUDF, up to 1 sq deg, to mag 30, potentially revealing thousands of galaxies and AGN at the faint end of the LF, at or beyond z 10 in the epoch of reionization, and dramatically increasing the discovery potential at these redshifts.
