A massive stellar bulge in a regularly rotating galaxy 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang

چکیده
Cosmological models predict that galaxies forming in the early Universe experience a chaotic phase of gas accretion and star formation, followed by ejection due to feedback processes. Galaxy bulges may assemble later via mergers or internal evolution. Here we present submillimeter observations (with spatial resolution 700 parsecs) ALESS 073.1, starburst galaxy at redshift z~5, when was 1.2 billion years old. This galaxy's cold forms regularly rotating disk with negligible noncircular motions. The rotation curve requires presence central bulge addition star-forming disk. We conclude massive disks can form more rapidly than predicted formation.

Formation of a Quasar Host Galaxy through a Wet Merger 1.4 Billion Years after the Big Bang
We present high-resolution Very Large Array imaging of the molecular gas in the host galaxy of the high redshift quasar BRI 1335–0417 (z = 4.41). Our CO(J=2→1) observations have a linear resolution of 0.15 (1.0 kpc) and resolve the molecular gas emission both spatially and in velocity. The molecular gas in BRI 1335–0417 is extended on scales of 5 kpc, and shows a complex structure. At least thr...
متن کاملCosmic Hydrogen Was Significantly Neutral a Billion Years After the Big Bang
The ionization fraction of cosmic hydrogen, left over from the big bang, provides crucial fossil evidence for when the first stars and quasar black holes formed in the infant universe. Spectra of the two most distant quasars known show nearly complete absorption of photons with wavelengths shorter than the Lyα transition of neutral hydrogen, indicating that hydrogen in the intergalactic medium ...
متن کاملConstraint on a varying proton-electron mass ratio 1.5 billion years after the big bang.
A molecular hydrogen absorber at a lookback time of 12.4 billion years, corresponding to 10% of the age of the Universe today, is analyzed to put a constraint on a varying proton-electron mass ratio, μ. A high resolution spectrum of the J1443+2724 quasar, which was observed with the Very Large Telescope, is used to create an accurate model of 89 Lyman and Werner band transitions whose relative ...

متن کاملAlma Imaging of Gas and Dust in a Galaxy Protocluster at Redshift 5.3: [cii] Emission in “typical” Galaxies and Dusty Starbursts ≈1 Billion Years after the Big Bang
We report interferometric imaging of [CII](P3/2→P1/2) and OH(Π1/2 J=3/2→1/2) emission toward the center of the galaxy protocluster associated with the z=5.3 submillimeter galaxy (SMG) AzTEC-3, using the Atacama Large (sub)Millimeter Array (ALMA). We detect strong [CII], OH, and rest-frame 157.7μm continuum emission toward the SMG. The [CII](P3/2→P1/2) emission is distributed over a scale of 3.9...
