1 Seeing the Distant Universe in Integral Field Spectroscopy at high redshift 3D Andrew Bunker, AAO & Oxford

2 After era probed by WMAP the Universe enters the so-called “dark ages” prior to formation of first stars Hydrogen is then re-ionized by the newly- formed stars When did this happen? What did it? DARK AGES Redshift z 5 10 1100 2 0

3 B (0.45  m) U (0.3  m) V V (0.6  m) I I (0.8  m) J J (1.2  m) H H (1.6  m) Near Infrared Camera NICMOS HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE z~1 HDF spiral

4 U (0.3  m)B (0.45  m) I I (0.8  m) V V (0.6  m) J J (1.2  m) H H (1.6  m)

5 "3D" Spectroscopy Previously used a "long slit" in spectroscopy - cut down background light, become more sensitive Relatively new technique - integral field spectroscopy - arrange elements to survey a 2D area (rather than a 1D line) The spectra gives a 3 rd dimension (wavelength, or velocity)

7 What is CIRPASS?  Near-infrared integral field unit (spectra over a 2D area)  Built by the IoA with support of Sackler foundation & PPARC  Wavelengths 0.9-1.8  m (z, J, H): doubles range of Gemini IFU science  490 spatial samples & variable image scales 0.05"-0.33" up to 5"x12" field  Large wavelength coverage (  =2200Å) at R~4000: great sensitivity between OH sky lines  Limiting line flux on an 8m ~2x10 -18 ergs/sec/cm^2 (5  3 hours)  Successfully demonstrated in August 2002 on Gemini-South telescope, community access 2003A 500 fibres IFU Instrument cryostat On dome floor

26 Galaxy Kinematics at High Redshift: Why do we care? - For disk galaxies, velocity at flat part of rotation curve correlates with the stellar mass of the galaxy (I- or K-band) - the Tully Fisher relation -How does this scaling relation evolve with time? - In "classical" model, dark halo forms first, and disk forms later: M/L decreases with time. -So circular velocity at a fixed stellar mass less in the past - BUT in hierarchical assembly, make galaxies through mergers, so stellar mass vs. circular velocity follows same relation over a wide range of redshifts - Can test this through rotation curves of z~1 galaxies - Use rest-optical lines redshifted into near-infrared - IFUs ideal - no uncertainty of slit axis vs. galaxy axis

34 Wavelength/Å The catch: very faint low surface brightness The deepest spectrum in the Universe?

35 Rauch, Haehnelt, Bunker, Becker et al. (2007) Win with IFUs rather than long-slit: MUSE?

37 "Lyman break technique" - sharp drop in flux at  below Ly- . Steidel et al. have >1000 z~3 objects, "drop" in U- band. Pushing to higher redshift- Finding Lyman break galaxies at z~6 : using i-drops.

38 The Star Formation History of the Univese Bunker, Stanway, z=5.8 Ellis, McMahon & McCarthy (2003) Keck/DEIMOS spectral follow-up & confirmation I-drops in the Chandra Deep Field South with HST/ACS Elizabeth Stanway, Andrew Bunker, Richard McMahon 2003 (MNRAS)

39 Galaxies at z~6 are small - barely resolved by HST. E-ELT diffraction limit ~0.01” (~50-100pc). See individual HII regions?

40 What is JWST? ● 6.55 m deployable primary ● Diffraction-limited at 2 µm ● Wavelength range 0.6-28 µm ● Passively cooled to <50 K ● Zodiacal-limited below 10 µm ● Sun-Earth L2 orbit ● 4 instruments – 0.6-5 µm wide field camera (NIRCam) – 1-5 µm multiobject spectrometer (NIRSpec) – 5-28 µm camera/spectrometer (MIRI) – 0.8-5 µm guider camera (FGS/TF) ● 5 year lifetime, 10 year goal ● 2014 launch

42 NASA/ESA/CSA - JWST ● NIRSpec – ESA near-IR MOS to 5um, 3’x3’ ● NIRCAM - 3’x3’ imager <5um ● FGS (Canada) - has tunable 1% narrow-band NIR filters in ● MIRI - mid-infrared Europe/US (closely similar to HST model…)

43 NIRSpec IST

44 Absorption lines at z>5 - a single v. bright Lyman break z=5.5 galaxy, Dow- Hygelund et al (2005), AB=23-24, VLT spectrum (22 hours), R~3000; S/N=3-10 at R=1000,2700 in 1000sec NIRSpec

45 E-ELT

46 For I-drops (z~6) would only get ~1 per NIRSpec field bright enough for S/N~3-10 in continuum in 1000sec for abs line studies

47 Does AO Help you? - If Ly-alpha is compact, AO will boost point-source sensitivity - - Unclear if this will be the case - extended Ly-alpha haloes known, and expected through resonant scattering (see the far edge of the ionized bubble) - -For morphological analysis, unclear that high-tech ELT AO is better than a poorer but better-quantified PSF (e.g. from space) - -If you can’t quantify where 10-20% of the light goes from a centrally-condensed core, that’s the difference between a disk and bulge morphology when fitting Sersic index - -Even worse when looking for QSO host galaxies…

48 Conclusions - - 3D IFU spectroscopy at high redshift is (finally) realising its potential, but still small sample sizes - -Important as a probe of galaxy kinematics, and spatially- resolved maps of stellar populations, metallicity - - Trace the evolution of the assembly of stellar mass - -Explore the nature of gravitational lenses (dark matter) - - Explore the nature of the galaxies responsible for QSO absorption lines - -In future might see fluorescence of the HI gas - -Compact galaxies at high-z: need AO on ELTs to get real IFU benefit
