For the Science Cases of the 1st Billion Years ● 250K (2.4µm cut) is very desirable, otherwise, not much gain from WFC3 results except for the survey volume. ● Additional Survey Strategy, ~100 deg2, ~28AB ZYJHK is desirable è O(104) z~8-12 objects are detected è  needs at least ~1 year for ~100 deg2

~0.5 ~50 ● Narrow/Intermediate-band filters?

Pupil  Remapping  Interferometer

•  Pupil  Remapping  Interferometer  (PRI)  is  an  interferometric  high-­‐angular  resoluAon  and  high-­‐contrast  imaging  technique  (Perrin  et  al.  2006,  MNRAS,  272,747).    

•  PRI  can  measure  wavefront  errors  of  incoming  light  very  precisely  and  PRI  will  act  as  if  an  extreme  adapAve  opAcs  but  no  acAve  mechanism  is  required,  which  is    a  large  advantage  for  space  instruments.

On-­‐sky  test  of  the  PRI  instrument  at  Lick  3m  telescope  and  Subaru  telescope  was  successfully  done.  It  is  an  important  step  toward  high-­‐contrast  imaging  for  the  future  space  mission

 IR survey with existing four H4RGs •  Four H4RGs, Dewar, electronics are ready §  New 1.8m IR telescope in Namibia §  WiFCOS camera for IRSF(with R.Barry at GSFS)

o  Need focal reducer optics  Focal Length: 13.8mà6.61m  Pixel scale: 0.45”/pixelà0.312”/pixel  FOV: 7.7’à45’

o  Filter systems (J,H,K,narrow-band, polarization filter? )
