Hubble Science Briefing Studying the First Galaxies with the Hubble and the Webb Space Telescopes Hubble Science Briefing April 7, 2011 Massimo Stiavelli Space Telescope Science Institute

Modern Cosmology HST launch on Shuttle Discovery - 24 April 1990. Launch mass 25,500 lbs. Length: 42.5 ft (13 m) Diameter: 14 ft (4.2 m) at widest. Primary: 2.4 m dia. Orbit: Altitude: 330 nmi, 28.5 deg inclination. 94 min. period. This is first coupling of HST with the human Space Flight Program, delayed several years by the tragic loss of Challenger. After long years of development and advocacy by the scientific community, with Lyman Spitzer, Jr. and John Bahcall playing prominent roles in the scientific and political arenas, the ‘Large Space Telescope’, was launched. The HST program is a collaborative program between NASA and ESA, the European Space Agency. The telescope was named HST in honor of Edwin Hubble, the American astronomer who early in the 20th century discovered that the distance to many faint nebulae was well beyond our Milky Way—the universe was populated by enormous star systems, galaxies—and that these galaxies were receding from us and from each other, implying that the Universe is expanding. And he found that the rate at which galaxies recede from each other is proportional to their separation (Hubble’s Law). This revolution in our concept of the universe led to nearly a century of efforts to measure accurately that expansion rate (Hubble constant), which implied the lifetime for the Universe. One of the primary scientific objectives for the HST mission was to measure the current expansion rate to an accuracy of 10% or better (which has been done, and continues to be improved).

The Universe at redshift ~1300 COBE satellite 3

Perturbations Redshift z : 1+z gives the ratio of the radius of the Universe today and that at a given epoch in the past . It also gives the ratio of the wavelength we observe over the one that was emitted. z=18 z=5.7 Computer simulations show the growth of structure z=1.4 z=0 4

Growth of perturbations Underdensities grow like miniature Universes. They expand becoming rounder. Overdensities collapse and can become flattened or filamentary. This is the origin of the filamentary structures seen in simulations. Galaxies form along filaments. Clusters of galaxies form at the intersection of filaments. 5

Growth of perturbations From random initial conditions it is “easy” to study the evolution of dark matter through computer simulations. The reason is that dark matter interacts only by gravity. It is much more difficult to study the evolution of ordinary matter (gas) since its interactions are much more complex. Thus the formation of stars and galaxies share the complexity of weather forecast. We think the first galaxies form at a redshift between 6 and 15 but there are many uncertainties. Thus, the input from observations is essential. 6

REIONIZATION OF THE UNIVERSE As we explore the Universe on these scales -- we are about to encounter DARK matter 7

Galaxies at z>6 redshift out of the ACS filters 15

Need IR observations Objects at z>7 are faint and relatively rare. We need a sensitive IR instrument : the IR channel of the Wide Field Camera 3. 16

Galaxies remain in the WFC3 filters up to z~10 17

NICMOS 72 orbits 19

WFC3 16 orbits 20

Initially 16 galaxies at z~7, 5 galaxies at z~8 (currently 100+ at z > 6) z~8 galaxies, Bouwens et al. z~7 galaxies, Oesch et al. (see also Finkelstein et al. 2010, and others) 21

What about z>8 ? Our team has detected one candidate at z=10 (Bouwens et al. 2011). 22

What did we learn? We can say is that first galaxies are at z≥10. The galaxies we see are capable of reionizing the Universe but we need a contribution from lower mass galaxies that we do not detect directly. The number density of galaxies above the WFC3 UDF limit is decreasing with redshift. 23

THE FIRST GALAXIES As we explore the Universe on these scales -- we are about to encounter DARK matter 24

Reionization vs First Galaxies Reionization is not necessarily completed by the First Galaxies. However, the First Galaxies must have formed before the completion of reionization. 25

Indication from theory Models predict that the first galaxies might form around redshift 15 but they will be faint and rare. Thus, they might be outside the capability of Hubble. 26

The James Webb Space Telescope The James Webb Space Telescope was designed from the ground up to study high-z galaxies. Four science themes guided the design, two extragalactic and two galactic. The one most relevant for us is the End of the Dark Ages theme. End of the dark ages: First light Nature of reionization sources 27

Conclusions WFC3-IR has allowed us to begin studying galaxies at redshift up to 10. Progress on these objects is going to be slow because they are too faint for any existing telescope to take spectra and verify their redshift and measure their properties. The James Webb Space Telescope has the sensitivity required to study these objects (and even higher redshift ones). 47
