Subaru studies of the cosmic dawn
نویسنده
چکیده
An overview on the current status of the census of the early Universe population is given. Observational surveys of high redshift objects provide direct opportunities to study the early epoch of the Universe. The target population included are Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAE), Lyman Break Galaxies (LBG), gravitationally lensed galaxies, quasars and gamma-ray bursts (GRB). The basic properties of these objects and the methods used to study them are reviewed. The present paper highlights the fact that the Subaru Telescope group made significant contributions in this field of science to elucidate the epoch of the cosmic dawn and to improve the understanding of how and when infant galaxies evolve into mature ones.

The Cosmic Evolution Survey (cosmos): Subaru Observations of the Hst Cosmos Field
We present deep optical imaging observations of 2 square degree area, covered by the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS), made by the prime-focus camera (Supreme-Cam) on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. Observations were done in six broadband [B (4459.78), g0 (4723.18),V (5483.88), r 0 (6213.08), i0 (7640.88), z0 (8855.08)] and one narrowband (NB816) filters. A total of 10 galaxies were detected to i0 ...
متن کاملSubaru Hds Observations of a Balmer-dominated Shock in Tycho’s Supernova Remnant
We present an Hα spectral observation of a Balmer-dominated shock on the eastern side of Tycho’s supernova remnant using SUBARU Telescope. Utilizing the High Dispersion Spectrograph (HDS), we measure the spatial variation of the line profile between preshock and postshock gas. Our observation clearly shows a broadening and centroid shift of the narrow-component postshock Hα line relative to the...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Production of Li by Structure Formation Shocks in the Early Galaxy
We discuss the production of the element Li in the early Galaxy by cosmic rays accelerated at structure formation shocks, driven by the hierarchical merging of sub-Galactic halos during Galaxy formation. The salient features of this scenario are discussed and compared with observations of Li in metal-poor halo stars, including a recent Subaru HDS result on the star HD140283. Some unique predict...

Searching for a Long Cosmic String Through the Gravita - tional Lensing Effect
It has been suggested that cosmic strings produced at a phase transition in the early universe can be the origin of the extremely high energy cosmic rays (EHCR) observed by AGASA above 10 eV. Superheavy cosmic strings with linear mass density of 10 g/cm can be indirectly observed through the gravitational lensing effect the distant galaxies. The lensing effect by a long straight object can be c...
