2 High Redshift Galaxies Patric Stout Jesse van de Sande

3 Content High Redshift Galaxies What is redshift? History of High Redshift Galaxies (HRG) Lyman Break Galaxies (LBG) Summary

4 Redshift Redshift Doppler effect Higher wavelength means object moves away Detection redshift via spectrum Absorption lines move Emission lines move

5 Redshift Z-value [1] Z-value indicates speed [1] Z-value indicates distance [1] [1] Introduction to Modern Astrophysics, Bradley W. Carroll & Dale A. Ostlie, 1996

6 Example of a z-calculation: Redshift

7 History Before 1980 no detection of z > 1 Lyman Break Technique (LBT) known before 1980 [2] Instruments failed to find them (not advanced enough) Needed for high red-shift detection (z > 2.5) [2] Mauro Giavalisco, Lyman-Break Galaxies, ARA&A, 2002

8 History New telescopes made LBT work (around year 2000) 8 meter diameter telescopes Large CCD arrays Within a few years, over 1000 detected HRG (z > 2,5) [2] LBT is a proven technique to find HRG [2] Mauro Giavalisco, Lyman-Break Galaxies, ARA&A, 2002

9 Lyman Break Galaxy Lyman Break Technique What is LBT? Lyman Series Lyman Alpha Lyman Alpha Forest Lyman Limit

10 Lyman Break Galaxy Lyman Break Technique Lyman Alpha

11 Lyman Break Galaxy Lyman Break Technique Lyman Alpha Forest

12 Lyman Break Galaxy Lyman Break Technique Lyman Limit

13 Lyman Break Galaxy Lyman Break Technique Total Picture

14 Lyman Break Galaxy Why is LBT important? Detectable in optical window for galaxies with high redshifts (z > 2.5) Easy to identify in spectrum

15 Detection of LBGs Lyman Break Galaxy

16 Properties Lyman Break Galaxy UV spectrum similar to star forming galaxies [2] SFR: between 10 and 70 M o / yr Mass: M o to that of dwarf galaxies [2] Morphology mixed The mix of morphologies ranges from relatively regular systems to irregular to fragmented and multiple systems Same size as large bulges and elliptical galaxies in our local universe [2] Mauro Giavalisco, Lyman-Break Galaxies, ARA&A, 2002

17 Summary Redshifts History of HRG LBG (= HRG with z > 2.5) Lyman Series Lyman Break Technique Properties
