Millimetre/submillimetre-wave emission-line searches for high-redshift galaxies
The redshifted spectral line radiation emitted from both atomic fine-structure and molecular rotational transitions in the interstellar medium (ISM) of high-redshift galaxies can be detected in the centimetre, millimetre and submillimetre wavebands. Here we predict the counts of galaxies detectable in an array of molecular and atomic lines. This calculation requires a reasonable knowledge of bo...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Emission Line Searches for High-Redshift Galaxies
In this article I review recent developments in near-infrared emission line searches for star-forming galaxies at high redshift. Using the J-, H& K-bands we can potentially chart the history of star formation over the range 1 < z < 5 using the prominent rest-optical nebular emission lines alone, filling in the “redshift desert” at z ∼ 1 − 3 where most common emission lines lie outside the optic...
متن کاملCentimeter searches for molecular line emission from high-redshift galaxies
We consider the capabilities for detecting low order CO emission lines from high-redshift (z) galaxies using the next generation of radio telescopes operating at 22 and 43GHz. Low order CO emission studies provide critical insight into the nature of high redshift galaxies, including: (i) determining molecular gas masses, (ii) study of large scale structure through 3-dimensional redshift surveys...
متن کاملSearches for High Redshift Radio Galaxies
We have started a search for High Redshift Radio Galaxies (HZRGs) in an area covering 7 sr by selecting a sample of Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) sources with a low flux density cut-off S1400 > 10 mJy and a steep spectral index cut-off of α < −1.3 (S ∝ ν) from the WENSS, NVSS and TEXAS surveys. Our first results for 27 sources show that we are almost twice as effective in finding HZRGs than than s...
متن کاملSearches for High Redshift Galaxies Using Gravitational Lensing
We present different methods used to identify high redshift (z > 5) objects in the high-magnification regions of lensing galaxy clusters, taking advantage of very well constrained lensing models. The research procedures are explained and discussed. The detection of emission lines in the optical/NIR spectra, such as Lyman-alpha, allows us to determine the redshift of these sources. Thanks to the...
