Let there be Light Directly Witnessing the Birth of Metal- Free Pop III Stars in an Ultra-Faint Galaxy at z6.5 — This project will use JWST/NIRSpec to confirm the first robust candidate for a Population III galaxy (ID16043) at redshift z = 6.5, enable detections of rest-frame optical lines in extremely faint galaxies and probe the existence of low mass black holes at high redshift. This will be the deepest medium-grating spectroscopy ever conducted by JWST in a gravitational lensing cluster field.
