CO line emission from Lyman break galaxies
Context. The detection of the rotational lines of CO in proto-galaxies in the early Universe provides one of the most promising ways of probing the fundamental physical properties of a galaxy, such as its size, dynamical mass, gas density, and temperature. While such observations are currently limited to the most luminous galaxies, the advent of ALMA will change the situation dramatically, resu...
متن کاملLyman Break Galaxies in the NGST Era
With SIRTF and NGST in the offing, it is interesting to examine what the stellar populations of z ≈ 3 galaxies models imply for the existence and nature of Lyman-break galaxies at higher redshift. To this end, we “turn back the clock” on the stellar population models that have been fit to optical and infrared data of Lymanbreak galaxies at z ≈ 3 . The generally young ages (typically 108±0.5 yr)...
متن کاملSpitzer View of Lyman Break Galaxies
Using a combination of deep MID-IR observations obtained by IRAC, MIPS and IRS on board Spitzer we investigate the MID-IR properties of Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z∼3, establish a better understanding of their nature and attempt a complete characterisation of the population. With deep mid-infrared and optical observations of ∼1000 LBGs covered by IRAC/MIPS and from the ground respectively, ...
متن کاملCosmic microwave background anisotropies from outflows in Lyman break galaxies
Thomson scattering of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on moving electrons in the outflows of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at redshifts 2–8 contributes to the small-scale CMB anisotropies. The net effect produced by each outflow depends on its level of deviation from spherical symmetry, caused either by an anisotropic energy injection from the nuclear starburst or quasar activity, or by an ...
متن کاملDust emission model of Lyman-break galaxies
Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) contain a non-negligible amount of dust. Takeuchi et al. (2003a) (T03) constructed a model of the infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) for very young galaxies by taking into account the dust size distribution in the early stage of galaxy evolution, which can be different from that of present-day evolved galaxies. We applied T03 model to LBGs and constructed th...
