Description
The study of the first galaxies which contributed to the ionization of the universe will become possible with an integral field and multi-object spectrograph like MOSAIC (significant contribution from GUAIX), set to be installed on the 39m Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), currently under construction. As a pilot study for that, a detailed two-dimensional study of the physical properties of a sample of low-mass (dwarf) star-forming galaxies at low redshift is being conducted. This project is part of the ITP Dwarfs4MOSAIC program (IP Jesus Gallego), which was selected through a competitive process in the spring of 2023 and extended in spring of 2024.
In this talk I will present the work carried out during 2025, which has consisted mainly of improvements in MEGARA image reduction and the development of codes that allow us to analyze spectral lines for WEAVE.
