RELICS-DP7: Spectroscopic Confirmation of a Dichromatic Primeval Galaxy at z ∼ 7

چکیده
We report the discovery of a spectroscopically-confirmed strong Lyman-$\alpha$ emitter at $z=7.0281\pm0.0003$, observed as part Reionization Cluster Lensing Survey (RELICS). This galaxy, dubbed "Dichromatic Primeval Galaxy" $z\sim7$ (DP7), shows two distinct components. While fairly unremarkable in terms its ultraviolet (UV) luminosity ($\sim0.3L^{\ast}_{UV}$, where $L^{\ast}_{UV}$ is characteristic luminosity), DP7 has one highest equivalent widths (EWs) among emitters $z>6$ ($>200$ Angstrom rest frame). The emission generally suggests young metal-poor, low-dust galaxy; however, we find that UV slope $\beta$ galaxy whole redder than typical star-forming galaxies these redshifts, $-1.13\pm 0.84$, likely indicating, on average, considerable amount dust obscuration, or an older stellar population. When measure for components separately, evidence differing colors, suggesting separate populations. Also, spatially extended and larger size, hinting to possible existence halo. Rejuvenation merging events could explain results. Either scenario requires extreme population, possibly including component Population III stars, obscured Active Galactic Nucleus. DP7, with low high EW, represents are thought be major contribution reionization Universe, this reason excellent target follow-up James Webb Space Telescope.

Spectroscopic confirmation of a galaxy cluster associated with 7C 1756+6520 at z = 1.416
We present spectroscopic follow-up of an overdensity of galaxies photometrically selected to be at 1.4 < z < 2.5 found in the vicinity of the radio galaxy 7C 1756+6520 at z = 1.4156. Using the DEIMOS optical multi-object spectrograph on the Keck 2 telescope, we observed a total of 129 BzK-selected sources, comprising 82 blue, star-forming galaxy candidates (sBzK) and 47 red, passivelyevolving g...
متن کاملA Luminous Lyman-α Emitting Galaxy at Redshift z=6.535: Discovery and Spectroscopic Confirmation
We present a redshift z = 6.535 galaxy discovered by its Lyman-α emission in a 9180Å narrowband image from the Large Area Lyman Alpha (LALA) survey. The Lyman-α line luminosity (1.1×10 erg s) is among the largest known for star forming galaxies at z ≈ 6.5. The line shows the distinct asymmetry that is characteristic of high-redshift Lyman-α. The 2σ lower bound on the observer-frame equivalent w...

متن کاملA Serendipitous Search for High - Redshift Ly α Emission : Two Primeval Galaxy Candidates at z ≃ 3
In the course of our ongoing search for serendipitous high-redshift Lyα emission in deep archival Keck spectra, we discovered two very high equivalent width (W obs λ ∼> 450 Å, 2σ) Lyα emission line candidates at z ∼ 3 in a moderate dispersion (λ/∆λ ≃ 1200) spectrogram. Both lines have low velocity dispersions (σv ∼ 60 km s−1) and deconvolved radii r ≈ 1 h 50 kpc. We argue that the lines are Lyα...
