Star Formation and Metal Production in the Early Universe
Recent advances in our understanding of star formation and the associated production of heavy elements at high redshift are reviewed. First, the host galaxies of star-formation regions at redshift 2 – 4 are characterized, and a comparison with their local counterparts is made. Then the properties of the stellar content in these objects are summarized. A major theme is the interaction and feedba...
متن کاملWhat Fraction of Stars Formed in Infrared Galaxies at High Redshift?
Star formation happens in two types of environment: ultraviolet-bright starbursts (like 30 Doradus and HII galaxies at low redshift and Lyman-break galaxies at high redshift) and infrared-bright dust-enshrouded regions (which may be moderately star-forming like Orion in the Galaxy or extreme like the core of Arp 220). In this work I will estimate how many of the stars in the local Universe form...
متن کاملALMA detection of [ C II ] 158 μ m emission from a strongly lensed z = 2 . 013 star - forming galaxy ?
Aims. Our objectives are to determine the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) and of star formation in typical star-forming galaxies at high redshift. Methods. Following up on our previous multi-wavelength observations with HST, Spitzer, Herschel, and the Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI), we have studied a strongly lensed z = 2.013 galaxy, the arc behind the galaxy cluster MACS J04...
متن کاملThe Spiderweb Galaxy : a Forming Massive Cluster Galaxy at Z ∼ 2
We present a deep image of the radio galaxy MRC 1138–262 taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) at a redshift of z = 2.2. The galaxy is known to have properties of a cD galaxy progenitor and be surrounded by a 3 Mpc-sized structure, identified with a protocluster. The morphology shown on the new deep HST ACS image is reminiscent of a spider’s web. More than 10 individual clumpy features ar...
متن کاملEvolution of star formation and gas
In these lectures I review observations of star-forming molecular clouds in our Galaxy and nearby galaxies to develop a physical intuition for understanding star formation in the local and high-redshift Universe. A lot of this material is drawn from early work in the field since much of the work was done two decades ago and this background is not generally available in the present literature. I...
