Reionization and Galaxy Evolution Probed by Z = 7 Lyα Emitters
We made a narrowband NB973 (bandwidth of 200Å centered at 9755Å) imaging of the Subaru Deep Field (SDF) and found two z = 7 Lyα emitter (LAE) candidates down to NB973 = 24.9. Carrying out deep follow-up spectroscopy, we identified one of them as a real z = 6.96 LAE. This has established a new redshift record, showing that galaxy formation was in progress just 750 Myr after the Big Bang. Meanwhi...
متن کاملUnderstanding Lyα emitters
This publication contains the conference summary of the Understanding Lyα Emitters conference held at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg October 6 10, 2008. The scope of the conference was to bring together most of the scientists working in the field of Lyα emitters, whether at low or high redshift, or on observational or theoretical aspects, and to summarise how far the field...
متن کاملThe effect of the intergalactic environment on the observability of Lyα emitters during reionization
Observations of high-redshift Ly-α sources are a major tool for studying the high-redshift Universe and are one of the most promising ways to constrain the later stages of reionization. The understanding and interpretation of the data is far from straightforward, however. We discuss the effect of the reionizing intergalactic medium on the observability of Ly-α sources based on large simulations...
متن کاملLyα damping wing constraints on inhomogeneous reionization
One well-known way to constrain the hydrogen neutral fraction, x̄HI, of the high-redshift intergalactic medium (IGM) is through the shape of the red damping wing of the Lyα absorption line. We examine this method’s effectiveness in light of recent models showing that the IGM neutral fraction is highly inhomogeneous on large scales during reionization. Using both analytic models and “semi-numeric...
متن کاملCONSTRAINING THE Lyα ESCAPE FRACTION WITH FAR-INFRARED OBSERVATIONS OF Lyα EMITTERS
We study the far-infrared properties of 498 Lyα emitters (LAEs) at z = 2.8, 3.1, and 4.5 in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South, using 250, 350, and 500μm data from the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey and 870μm data from the LABOCA ECDFS Submillimeter Survey. None of the 126, 280, or 92 LAEs at z = 2.8, 3.1, and 4.5, respectively, are individually detected in the far-infrared data....
