1 ALMA studies of the first galaxies
Product Assurance 9/17/ June 2 – 6, Victoria, Canada ALMA studies of the first galaxies Madrid 2006 Chris Carilli (NRAO) Epoch of Reionization last phase of cosmic evolution to be explored bench-mark in cosmic structure formation indicating the first luminous structures

2 First observational constraints on cosmic reionization
Product Assurance First observational constraints on cosmic reionization z=5.80 z=5.82 z=5.99 z=6.28 9/17/ June 2 – 6, Victoria, Canada Gunn-Peterson Effect (Fan) => Near edge of reionization at z ~ 6. T

3 Current observations: z_reion = 11 to 6 (Fan, Carilli, Keating 2006)
Not ‘event’, but complex process, large variance time/space GP => occurs in ‘twilight zone’, opaque _obs < 0.9 um  Product Assurance 9/17/ June 2 – 6, Victoria, Canada

4 Product Assurance Radio astronomical probes of the Epoch of Reionization and the 1st luminous objects 9/17/ June 2 – 6, Victoria, Canada CMB large scale polarization Neutral IGM – HI 21cm emission and absorption Objects within EoR – Molecular gas, dust, star formation Collaborators USA – Carilli, Wang, Fan, Strauss Euro – Bertoldi, Walter, Riechers, Cox, Menten, Omont, Beelen

5 Dust at z ~ 6 (see Bertoldi)
Product Assurance 9/17/ June 2 – 6, Victoria, Canada Dust at z ~ 6 (see Bertoldi) 30% of z=6 QSO host galaxies = Hyper-lum. IR galaxies: LFIR ~ 1e13 Lo Mdust ~ 1e8 Mo tuniv < 1Gyr => Dust formation in massive stars? S250 = 3mJy

6 Near-IR to Radio SEDs: Star formation?
Product Assurance 9/17/ June 2 – 6, Victoria, Canada Near-IR to Radio SEDs: Star formation? Hot (1000K) dust = AGN accretion disk Warm (50K) dust = starburst? Follow radio-FIR correlation SFR(>5Mo) ~ 1e3 Mo/yr

7 Similarity to IR-selected QSOs, not optical (PG) QSOs:
Product Assurance 9/17/ June 2 – 6, Victoria, Canada Similarity to IR-selected QSOs, not optical (PG) QSOs: Coeval formation of SMBH + stellar host galaxy? Consistent with ‘downsizing’ in galaxy/SMBH formation.

8 Molecular gas + fine structure lines (Walter)
Product Assurance 9/17/ June 2 – 6, Victoria, Canada J1148 VLA: CO 3-2 z=6.42; t_univ=0.87 Gyr [CII] IRAM 2.5” CO 6-5 Only direct probe of host galaxy [CII] luminosity also implies SFR ~ 1e3 Mo/yr (Maiolino) 2e10 Mo of molecular gas = fuel for star formation Early enrichment of heavy elements: zsf > 8 0.3” Undetected in 38 hrs on JCMT by Bolatto et al. 04 [C II] was detected in over 12 hrs with the 30m to peak intensity 12 (4) mJy; with ALMA it will be 5 sigma in a minute. But J1148 has L=2 x 10^13. With 16 antennas, of course, we could get this in ten minutes. Tb = 40K

9 Breakdown MBH - Mbulge relation at high z: SMBH forms first?
Product Assurance 9/17/ June 2 – 6, Victoria, Canada Breakdown MBH - Mbulge relation at high z: SMBH forms first? CO => Mgas = 2e10 Mo Mdyn = 5e10 Optical => MBH = 2e9 => Mbulge = 1e12 X MBULGE ~ 1000MBH
