Ultraviolet properties of primeval galaxies: theoretical models from stellar population synthesis
The ultraviolet luminosity evolution of star-forming galaxies is explored from the theoretical point of view, especially focusing on the theory of UV energetics in simple and composite stellar populations and its relationship to the star formation rate and other main evolutionary parameters. Galaxy emission below λ < 3000 Å directly correlates with actual star formation, not depending on the to...
متن کاملExpected Properties of Primeval Galaxies and Confrontation with Existing Observations
1. Properties of low metallicity and PopIII starbursts – predictions and confrontation with existing observations Based on existing or new stellar tracks and appropriate non-LTE model atmospheres we have recently undertaken a systematic study of the expected restframe EUV, UV to optical properties of starbursts of zero and higher metal-licity (Schaerer 2002, 2003, hereafter S02, S03). These stu...
متن کاملSe p 19 98 Searches For Primeval Galaxies
A primeval galaxy represents the earliest stages of a galaxy's life and as such provides clues to the early history of the Universe and the evolution of stars and galaxies. Over the last 20 years astronomers have been engaged in the quest to detect the faint signals from these objects, believed to lie at a distance comparable with the size of the Universe. A wide variety of observational techni...
متن کاملDiscovery of a Galaxy Responsible for a DLA System at z = 3.15 and a Near-Infrared Search for Primeval Galaxies
We report the detection, both in line and continuum emission, of a galaxy responsible for a damped Lyα absorption (DLA) system at z = 3.15 projected 2.3 from QSO 2233+131. The star formation rate implied by both the Lyα and restframe far-UV continuum is ∼ 7 M⊙ yr . The galaxy also shows no sign of an active nucleus and has blue colors, both consistent with it being observed early in its star fo...
متن کاملThe Discovery of Primeval Galaxies and the Epoch of Galaxy Formation
In the last two years there have been major advances in our ability to identify and study normal star forming galaxies at high redshifts, when the universe was only 15% of its present age. We review the steps which have led to the discovery of a widespread population of objects at z ∼ 3 with many of the characteristics which we expect for primeval galaxies, and emphasize in particular the advan...
