Two New Low Redshift 21cm Absorbers
As part of a larger program to identify low redshift radio analogues of the damped Lyman−α (DLA) absorbers seen in the spectra of high redshift quasars, Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) observations have discovered two new HI 21cm absorption lines at z = 0.394 and z = 0.437 in the spectra of the radio sources B 0248+430 and B 1243-072 respectively. These sightlines and redshifts were...
متن کاملForegrounds for 21cm Observations of Neutral Gas at High Redshift
We investigate a number of potential foregrounds for an ambitious goal of future radio telescopes such as the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) and Low Frequency Array (LOFAR): spatial tomography of neutral gas at high redshift in 21cm emission. While the expected temperature fluctuations due to unresolved radio point sources is highly uncertain, we point out that free-free emission from the ionizin...
متن کاملStarbursts and the High-Redshift Universe
Starbursts are episodes of intense star-formation that occur in the central regions of galaxies, and dominate the integrated emission from the galaxy. They serve as local analogs of the processes that were important in the origin and early evolution of galaxies and in the heating and chemical enrichment of the inter-galactic medium. They may also play an important role in the AGN phenomenon. In...
متن کاملObservations of the High Redshift Universe
In this series of lectures, aimed for non-specialists, I review the considerable progress that has been made in the past decade in understanding how galaxies form and evolve. Complementing the presentations of my theoretical colleagues, I focus primarily on the impressive achievements of observational astronomers. A credible framework, the ΛCDM model, now exists for interpreting these observati...
متن کاملDust in the High Redshift Universe
This paper reviews the dust content of the high redshift (z > 2) universe. Studies of the various " species " in the high-z " zoo " show that almost all have strong evidence for containing dust. The one exception, where the evidence is not yet convincing, is in quasar absorption line systems, particularly those with low column density. These may not even be associated with galaxies. The high-z ...
