Descripción
The technique and some preliminary results about the study of the
luminosity function (LF) of Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) through
gravitational lensing (GL) is presented. Clusters of galaxies, with
suitably modeled gravitational lenses are observed using the tunable
filters (TF) of the instrument OSIRIS at the GTC. The combination of
these natural gravitational telescopes, and the higher contrast
achievable by the TF, will allow the detection of very faint LAEs, not
only reaching a step forward in understanding this primordial objects,
but also achieving a better determination of the mass distribution on
the inner regions of galaxy clusters.
