Narrow-band surveys for very high redshift Lyman-α emitters
Context. Many current and future surveys aim to detect the highest redshift (z & 7) sources through their Lyman-α (Lyα) emission, using the narrow-band imaging method. However, to date the surveys have only yielded non-detections and upper limits as no survey has reached the necessary combination of depth and area to detect these very young star forming galaxies. Aims. We aim to calculate model...
متن کاملModelling high redshift Lyman α emitters
We present a new model for high redshift Lyman α emitters (LAEs) in the cosmological context which takes into account the resonant scattering of Lyα photons through expanding gas. The GALICS semi-analytic model provides us with the physical properties of a large sample of high redshift galaxies. We implement, in post-processing, a gas outflow model for each galaxy based on simple scaling argume...
متن کاملThe Density of Lyα Emitters at Very High Redshift
We describe narrowband and spectroscopic searches for emission-line star forming galaxies in the redshift range 3 – 6 with the 10 m Keck II Telescope. These searches yield a substantial population of objects with only a single strong (equivalent width ≫ 100 Å) emission line, lying in the 4000− 8500 Å range. Spectra of the objects found in narrowband–selected samples at λ ∼ 5390 Å and ∼ 6741 Å s...
متن کاملLUMINOSITY FUNCTION OF REDSHIFT z ∼ 5 . 7 LYMAN ALPHA EMITTERS
We report the results of a wide-field narrowband survey for redshift z ∼ 5.7 Lyα emitters carried out with the 34 × 27 field-of-view SuprimeCam mosaic CCD camera on the Subaru 8.3-m telescope. Deep narrowband imaging of the SSA22 field through a 120 Å bandpass filter centered at a nominal wavelength of 8150 Å was combined with deep multicolor RIz broadband imaging with SuprimeCam, then suppleme...
متن کاملModels for High–Redshift Lyα Emitters
We present models for dusty high–redshift Lyα emitting galaxies by combining the Press–Schechter formalism with a treatment of inhomogeneous dust distribution inside galaxies. These models reproduce the surface density of emitters inferred from recent observations, and also agree with previous non–detections. Although a detailed determination of the individual model parameters is precluded by u...
