Standard model of cosmological structure formation: –Very successful in the description of the formation of LSS –Small adiabatic perturbations amplified by self gravity –Linear development of the density perturbations modeled by well-known physics Description of the non-linear phase: (of the baryonic component) –More complicated –Model the thermal balance (depends on the chemistry and hydrodynamics of the baryonic gas) Major numerical simulations (e.g. GalICS project, IAP) Main problems: « overcooling problem» => Observe small structures that are becoming non linear first Galaxy formation

Observations relevant to the problem of star and galaxy formation at high z: –Cosmic Infrared-submm Background (CIB) see Hauser & Dwek 2001 for a review –Power spectra of the unresolved background in the far-IR Lagache & Puget 2000, Matsuhara et al. 2000, Miville-Deschênes et al –Deep number counts of IR galaxies from mid-IR to mm e.g. Dole et al. 2001, Serjeant et al. 2001, Elbaz et al. 2002, Scott et al. 2002, Papovich et al. 2004, Dole et al. 2004…. –Identifications and multi-wavelength observations of IR galaxies Status of IR-submm observations

Find discrepancies with present theories of structure formation Plan future observations  Empirical models Basic inputs of empirical models: –Luminosity functions of a small number of populations of IR galaxies as a function of z –Set of templates of SED e.g. Devriendt & Guiderdoni 2000, Wang & Biermann 2000, Chary & Elbaz 2001, Dole et al. 2001, Franceschini 2001, Lagache et al. 2003, Malkan & Stecker 2001, Pearson 2001, Rowan-Robinson 2001, Takeuchi et al. 2001, Xu et al. 2001, Wang 2002, Chapman et al. 2003, ….. Investigate the basic capabilities of the future missions: –Sensitivity –Resolving power to beat confusion –Capabilities to cover large enough areas to find rare distant sources Status of empirical models in the IR

Herschel will… –Give for the first time complete IR SEDs. Combined with SPITZER: from 3.6 to 550 microns. Fill the « far-IR desert » (between microns) –Resolve the peak of the CIB - NOT probe the CIB at long wavelengths

Large area survey: –GOAL: Find L o galaxies at z~5 –1 Deg 2, 5  = 0.1 mJy (50% of CIB) –138 days ( sources) A deeper survey: –GOAL: 80% of the CIB –10 arcmin 2, 5  =0.02 mJy –96 days (200 sources) A total of ~8 months (without including overheads) ALMA capabilities for surveys at 230 GHz

So what? Future surveys: (SPITZER), Herschel, Planck For >150  m: confusion-limited - Resolved CIB: <10% (~50% for SCUBA/MAMBO blank surveys) - Brightest contributors - Clustering of IR galaxies? ALMA: - Reveal, in the high-z galaxies, the astrophysical processes at work - Problem: find these high-z objects (>8 months in the final config) Informations on the underlying population and constraints on the clustering of IR galaxies: => Studying the CIB fluctuations

The CIB fluctuations: A « tool» for studying the source Clustering Probe the LSS at high z

Same sources (shape of the counts) You probe the fluctuations = you probe the CIB P(D) analysis: number count distribution Statistical informations on the SEDs Clustering: –On large angular scales: linear clustering bias of far-IR galaxies in dark matter halos –On smaller angular scales: non-linear clustering within a dark matter halo Problem: detecting them! (Component separation) Detection of the shot noise at 60, 100, 170  m (Miville-Deschênes et al. 2003, Lagache &Puget 2000, Matsuhara et al. 2000) The CIB and its fluctuations ( >100  m)

Longer probe to higher z CIB fluctuation maps (  100  m => 1 mm) –IRAS (IRIS, Miville-Deschênes & Lagache, 2004), SPIRE, Planck/HFI Waveband decorrelation => « Invert » fluctuation maps  / z Clustering in function of z Seems very easy!! Fluctuations of the CIB

Conclusions - Dust emission and extinction: Key processes at high-z => Large IR/submm/mm surveys - In the Far-IR/Submm: current and planned surveys are and will be confusion-limited - Except for ALMA (but need time…) -Before ALMA: Study the clustering using the CIB anisotropies with Planck/HFI and Herschel/SPIRE

Herschel follow-up observations –PACS: no problem for source identification –SPIRE: use band merging technique (as for SPITZER) when PACS data are available to extract sources –In areas where we have only SPIRE data : Build an « extreme source sample » Use the same technique as for the SCUBA/MAMBO sources: interferometry Problem: about 3000 sources with z>3 (and about 9000 with z>2)

Large area survey: ( L o objects) –1 Deg 2, 5  = 0.21 mJy –Need 4289 years !! => The L= L o objects will not be found at 350 microns (5 observation days for ONE source L o at z~5)  The 850 GHz is not suited for cosmological surveys ALMA capabilities for surveys at 850 GHz

« overcooling problem» –The fraction of the predicted baryonic mass that fragment and form stars is clearly larger than what is observed –The mass distribution of galaxies should also contain more dwarf galaxies than it does –The baryonic gas collapses to the center of the potential well loosing its angular momentum to the non dissipative dark mater component.
