Subaru Studies of the Cosmic Dawn
  An overview on the current status of the census of the early universe
population is given. Observational surveys of high redshift objects provide
direct opportunities to study the early epoch of the Universe. The target
population included are Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAE), Lyman Break Galaxies (LBG),
gravitationally lensed galaxies, quasars and gamma-ray bursts (GRB). The basic
properties of these objects and the methods used to study them are reviewed.
The present paper highlights the fact that the Subaru Telescope group made
significant contributions in this field of science to elucidate the epoch of
the cosmic dawn and to improve the understanding of how and when infant
galaxies evolve into mature ones.
