“The Next Step in Deep Extragalactic Surveys”

The original rationale for the James Webb Space Telescope was detecting the first light in the Universe, meaning the first stars and galaxies. This goal has remained as one of the key drivers for the hardware development albeit with the footnote that only the first galaxies, not literally the first individual stars, can be detected. Two of the instruments teams, the NIRCam and NIRSpec Teams, have joined forces to produce a legacy survey with both multi-wavelength imaging and multi-object spectroscopy
using JWST. Expected results as illustrated by a mock catalog and a data challenge will be presented.
