3 Open ques5ons from the dark ages of the Universe z t 400,000 yr EPOCH OF RECOMBINATION z 1100 DARK AGES What are the proper5es of first galaxies? When did they form? EPOCH OF REIONIZATION t 1,000,000,000 yr z 6 8 Can SPICA help us answering these ques?on? Keck telescope (e.g.) t

4 MIR emission from the first objects Roto- Vibra5onal lines from H 2 2 μm < λ em < 30 μm z 6 14 μm < λ obs < 210 μm Combes & Pfenninger (1998); Timmersmann et al. (1996); Turner et al. (1977) Are these lines detectable with SPICA/SAFARI? 34 μm < λ obs < 210 μm

5 MIR emission from high- z molecular hydrogen Roto- Vibra5onal lines from H 2 Galaxy simula5ons L H2 " M H2 % $ # 10 5 M sun & 'L sun SFR 10 M sun yr RT calcula5ons with CLOUDY (Vallini et al. in prep., 2015, 2013) SPICA detec5on limit erg s - 1 cm - 2 z 6 L threshold = L sun M halo M sun! (1 hr observing 5me) Only extremely rare objects can be detected with IR roto- vibra5onal lines from H 2

7 MIR emission from shock- heated H 2 Massive stars form and evolve in the high density regions of high- z galaxies Ciardi & Ferrara (2001)

18 THE SPICA- SKA SYNERGY We can look for the highest redshis sources in the ionized bubbles, namely in the dark part of the 21 cm maps Sobacchi et al. in prep., Sobacchi et al. (2016) 21CMFAST by Mesinger et al. (2011)

22 CONCLUSIONS Galaxies in the epoch of reioniza?on can be detected through (shock- heated) molecular hydrogen with SPICA SPICA can follow- up high- z (candidate) galaxies detected at different wavelengths in hr Work in progress SPICA can provide informa5on on the molecular gas and SFR of galaxies in the EoR

This is called Olber s Paradox Suppose the Universe were not expanding, but was in some kind of steady state. How should galaxy recession velocities correlate with distance? They should a) be directly proportional to distance. b) reverse
