We are characterizing the nature of star-forming galaxies at the epoch when most stars formed (redshift 1-3). We do this by studying spatially resolved spectroscopy and narrow-band imaging of galaxies that have been dramatically magnified by gravitational lensing. Research involves in-hand optical, near-IR, and mid-IR spectra from Magellan, Keck, and Spitzer, as well as broad and narrow-band imaging from Hubble. Such work prototypes the sorts of science that JWST will be able to conduct for large samples of unlensed galaxies.
