1 High Redshift Galaxies in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) Mark Dickinson (National Optical Astronomy Observatory) for the GOODS team

2 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) GOODS unites the deepest surveys from NASAs Great Observatories (Spitzer, Hubble, Chandra), ESAs XMM-Newton, and the best ground-based observatories, to establish ultradeep reference fields with public data sets to study the evolution of galaxies and active galactic nuclei over the broadest accessible range of redshift and cosmic time. GOODS provides: Two fields, two hemispheres, 60x larger than historical Hubble Deep Field Near-HDF depth 4-band HST/ACS imaging (HST Treasury Program: M. Giavalisco PI) –All observing completed & data released Deepest Spitzer coverage from 3.6 – 24 m (Spitzer Legacy Program: M. Dickinson, PI) –Data-taking 3/4 complete; first public release in October 2004 Deepest X-ray coverage from Chandra & XMM-Newton Extensive supporting observations (NOAO, ESO, Gemini, Keck, ATCA, VLA, etc.) Public release of data and data products Primary science goals: The mass assembly history of galaxies Census of energetic output from star formation and supermassive black holes Emergence of the Hubble Sequence Supernovae at high redshift and the cosmic expansion Dark matter distribution through weak gravitational lensing Measurements or limits on the discrete source component of the EBL

5 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time GOODS Spitzer/IRAC view of the Hubble Ultradeep Field IRAC extends our view of the distant universe to wavelengths 5x redder than Hubble/NICMOS. What Spitzer/IRAC sees: Light from longer-lived, red stars that dominate the mass of galaxies, redshifted to IRAC wavelengths Starlight and active galactic nuclei obscured by dust Potentially capable of seeing extremely distant objects, z > 7, which are invisible to optical telescopes

6 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time IRAC Extremely Red Objects (H. Yan et al. 2004) IRAC-selected with f (3.6 m)/f (z 850 ) > 20 (AB color > 3.25 Like (R-K) Vega > 5 ERO criterion, but shifted to redder bandpasses. We may expect that this will select ERO-like galaxies at z > 1.5 to 2 17 objects in HUDF area after excluding ambiguous cases due to blending 2 are undetected in ACS HUDF; others are detected (even down to B 435 ) but faint. All have J-K > 2.3; 5/17 have J-K > 3. Four overlap Chen & Marzke sample of 9 red HUDF objects.

7 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time IERO example HST/ACS HST/NICMOS Spitzer/IRAC VLT/ISAAC

8 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time 17 IEROs

9 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time SED fitting for HUDF IEROs Most IEROs can be fit with unreddened 2-component stellar populations: ~2.5 Gyr old stars + secondary ~0.1 Gyr burst z phot ~ 1.6 to 2.9

10 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Weighing old galaxies at high redshift Red colors & spectral shape require presence of old stars at 1.6 = 2.4 For Chabrier IMF: stellar masses 0.1-1.6 x 10 11 M sun (median 5e10). Compare to M*(z=0) = 8e10, or typical z=3 LBG M=6e9. 21.9 25), with median = 23.8 (K vega ~ 22) 2 objects have X-ray detections (AGN).

11 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Space density of IEROs Highly uncertain! Based on HUDF alone so far - 13 objects in refined sample, field-to-field variance? No secure estimate yet of selection & completeness (but presumably the number is a lower limit) No empirical measure of volume selection function; we assume a volume-limited sample with 1.6 < z < 2.9 and M(K AB ) < -21.3 Nevertheless…barreling ahead: M K < -21.3 : n = 3.2e-4 Mpc -3 M K < -23.0 : n = 1.3e-4 Mpc -3 14% and 20% of present-day early-type galaxy space density, assuming 1.0 mag of passive fading to z=0 M < -23 sample all at 2.4 < z < 2.9: ~50% of z=0 (Egals)

12 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time HDFN-JD1

13 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time HDFN-JD1 from Spitzer Spitzer IRAC data clearly favors old, z~3 stellar population for HDFN-JD1. No MIPS 24 m detection: probably not a HR10-like starburst/ERO.

14 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time HDF/NIC #1252 Diffuse; UV-detected J-H break; zphot ~ 2.7 X-ray + radio detected Probably 24 m detected

15 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time GOODS/MIPS 24 m HDF-N 10.9h MIPS integration per position Reaches 20 Jy sensitivity (fainter for isolated sources)

16 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Lurid color composite

17 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time 600 24 m sources 0 < z < 3+

18 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time IRAC LBGs out to z ~ 6 3.6 m4.5 m 5.8 m8.0 m Excellent PSF greatly improves sensitivity at 3.6 and 4.5 m relative to proposal expectations. Many of the brighter z~5-6 galaxies are well-detected in channels 1+2. IRAC Ultradeep HDF-N observations (up to 100h exposure time) may yield detections in channels 3+4

19 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Stellar population fitting for z=5.828 galaxy Typical LBG colors. Clear evidence for a Balmer break between K and 3.6 m. Otherwise blue SED (above & below break) suggests low reddening, but this is not well constrained. Stellar mass estimate ~1.5e10 M sun which is slightly larger than typical for L* LBGs at z~3

20 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Redward-marching color- magnitude diagrams Overall color distribution gets bluer at longer wavelengths. ERO-like objects get fainter and fewer, but are still seen out to H - 5.8 m color, corresponding to z ERO > 3 Some bright galaxies pop up strongly at 8 m; presumably PAH emission from low-z, brighter galaxies, or unveiled AGN.

21 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Optical + X-rayHST/ACS + Chandra: Spitzer detects optically invisible X-ray sources (Koekemoer et al. 2004) 7 out of 200 CDF-S X-ray sources were optically invisible in GOODS/ACS. What might these be? – Unusually faint host galaxies – Extremely red (old or dusty) hosts – Extremely high redshift AGN (z > 7) All 7 extreme X-ray/optical objects (EXOs) are detected by GOODS/Spitzer IRAC observations at 3.6-8 m 5.8 micronsSpitzer/IRAC:

22 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Colors of EXOs 5 EXOs have extremely red ISAAC J-K colors. One is still undetected at JHK (another has not been observed) Two objects with H-band data have their breaks between J and H.

23 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time SEDs of EXOs EXOs appear to be a mixed collection. A few appear to be old, red host galaxies (like IEROs) at z~3, possibly requiring dust Some are far too red in IRAC colors, and evidently require high redshifts and huge obscuration. A few are not inconsistent with z > 7 AGN, but this is still far from certain. 2nd epoch IRAC + more VLT H-band will really help here!

24 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Summary IEROs: Evolved galaxies at high redshift (even in HDF-N!) Strong overlap with other near-IR-selected samples (e.g. FIRES) Most have trace ongoing SF, but it can be very modest/faint ! Some truly dead objects (or some dust) Stellar masses are significantly larger than typical z~3 LBGs Space density is a significant fraction of present-day early-type galaxies, but much smaller fraction (<10%) of all comparably massive galaxies today. Well get a better census at the bright end over 30x more GOODS area (limited by the optical sensitivity) Red objects are a mixed bag (no surprise any more): Evolved galaxies Powerful starbursts AGN (e.g., the EXOs)

25 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Summary GOODS IRAC data detect hundreds of LBGs at 2 < z < 4.5, enabling stellar population modeling MIPS 24 m is detecting LBGs at 2 < z < 3 down to L FIR ~10 11 L sun Calibration to SFRs requires careful comparison of multiwavelength SF indicators, and will rely to some degree on lower-z data. IRAC selection and broad wavelength range should enable unified selection/analysis of galaxies at 2 < z < 4, tying together the color-selected samples. We detect a handful of LBGs to z~6, and trace SEDs to rest- frame R-band (hopefully to rest 1 m with HDF-N ultradeep IRAC data). First z~6 examples have stellar masses comparable to z~3 LBGs, but these are the brightest (optically) at their redshift.

26 GOODS: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey 29 September 2004Massive Galaxies through Cosmic Time Discuss among yourselves Where do we go from here? Observational challenges at high redshift: Are the most massive galaxies enough to really understand evolution? Probably not - we need a complete census with some dynamic range in mass at all z. Need to go ridiculously faint, even for imaging! IEROs: =22, z 850 > 26 Spectroscopy: only scratching the surface. What options do we have? Must this wait for JWST + >=20m telescopes? Are our surveys adequate for the most massive galaxies? (We need equivalent to SDSS LRG volumes at z > 1.) Missing so far: cold gas at high z (except via DLAs - never mentioned here) Connecting populations across redshifts: Clustering? Kinematics? Metallicity? Stellar populations? Are any of these individually convincing, or are all required? Theoretical challenges mostly concern gas supply and regulating star formation What regulates star formation? What turns it off? How does color bimodality come about?
