Additional information

Dunlop co-led the Hubble Ultra Deep Field 12 project from the outset. He devised the observing strategy, which included adding the new Wide Field Camera 3 and F140W imaging. He radically deepened the Y-band F105W imaging to enable the robust selection of Lyman-break galaxies at redshifts z>8.5. This strategy led to the discovery of the galaxy sample reported here, which includes the most distant galaxy candidate at z=12. Dunlop co-selected the galaxy candidates and wrote much of the text of the paper.
