1. Task 2.4 Crowded Field 3D Spectroscopy : goals: “to implement software tools for accurate background subtraction and spectrophotometry of point sources in crowded fields. tasks and subtasks collection of test data testing PSFs experimental stage link to Task 1.2: Resolved stellar populations link to Task 1.6: High redshift galaxies link to Task 1.2: Graviational lensing collect software being produced during research projects coordination between groups - distribution participating teams AIP, ESO, MIL, CAM
