Our planned project: DECam + NB970
• Mainly search for z ~ 7 LAEs. (NB excess + Dropout selection)!
• Help to select Lyman-Break Galaxies at z~6-7 (Dropout selection with NB, Spectral Conf.)
• Other emission line objects, e.g., Ha, OIII, Hb, OII emitters. (NB excess + photo-z)
• High-z QSOs, through Lya, Civ, MgII,… (Brightness + Spectral Conf.)
• Lyman Alpha Blobs (morphology)

Technical Challenges
• Filter profile varies over DECam FOV.
Use zcosmos catalog, or see (Ting Li’s poster)
• Nonlinearity at low-ADU. (Gary Bernstein’s talk)
• Data reduction, optimized for narrowband data
