We are undertaking various studies of primordial galaxies with the following main aims:

  1. (i) synthesize the properties of rest-frame UV-optical spectra of Population III galaxies and ‘transition objects’ between Pop III and normal starbursts;

  2. (ii) devise optimal search strategies for the detection of Pop III and related objects with ground-based and space observations;

  3. (iii) simulate photometric and spectroscopic observations of Pop III galaxies to quantify the feasibility of such studies especially for future ground-based instruments; and

  4. (iv) study the physics of Pop III and ‘transition’ galaxies and their implications on cosmology and the physics of galaxies
