Paper Abstract
A brief overview on the current status of the census of the early universe population is given. Observational surveys of
high redshift galaxies provide direct opportunities to witness the cosmic dawn and to have better understanding of how
and when infant galaxies evolve into mature ones. It is a much more astronomical approach in contrast to the physical
approach of to study the spatial fluctuation of cosmic microwave radiation. Recent findings in these two areas greatly
advanced our understanding of the early Universe. I will describe the basic properties of several target objects we are
looking for and the concrete methods astronomers are using to discover those objects in early Universe. My talk starts
with Lyman α emitters and Lyman break galaxies, then introduces a clever approach to use gravitational lensing effect of
clusters of galaxies to detect distant faint galaxies behind the clusters. Finally I will touch on the status and prospects of
surveys for quasars and gamma-ray bursts.
