3 outline The public GOODS -- new: Spitzer! -- identifying massive field galaxies at redshifts z>1 color-selected samples & fitting SEDs EROs, IRAC-EROs, J-K-selection... Conclusions: 1. Galaxies with M>few x 10 10 M sun are abundant even at z~1, 2, 3 2. Spitzer's rest-frame IR observations are key In progress: Towards a complete census of masses and SFRs at all z's Properties as function of local environment (always in the field)

4 galaxy formation: an observational goal A major goal is to measure the distribution function of stellar mass and star formation rates over time and environment f(M, M/ t, t, ) This encapsulates the assembly history via all modes -- quiescent star formation, starbursts, &c. Enter GOODS

5 What is GOODS? The -Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey- An orchestration of deep observations of the HDFN and the CDFS regions (~ 300 square arcmin in total) with the most powerful telescopes over the widest wavelength range 30 times larger solid angle than HDFN + HDFS Based on large programs with Spitzer, HST, Chandra, Newton, VLT, and more. All datasets and derived products are open to the public domain

9 HUDF The Hubble Ultra Deep Field in GOODS-South BViz + JH z 850 ~28 09 march '04 Beckwith et al. in prep
10
10 1.6 to 8 mm view of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field What 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
11
11 Redward-marching CMDs 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.
12
12 the red sequence to z>1.4 Somerville & Moustakas et al - in prep "extremely red galaxies" Rest-frame color- magnitude diagrams, z~0.2 to z~1.8 These data are from GOODS & GEMS, for different sample selections. The pink are K-selected. Red circles are EROs. See how these glxs dominate the red sequence at z~1 etc!
13
13 Moustakas et al 2004, ApJL most K AB <22 extremely red objects are old-star dominated earlylateirregularother See also: Yan & Thompson 2004; Smith et al 2004 Bell et al 2004 Space density of early-type EROs is n~2x10 -4 Mpc -3 "EROs"
14
14 typical (old) ERO SED The spectral energy distributions of the early-type EROs basically demand large ages, T>2Gyr This is true even if there is some 'frosting' of star formation in place at z~1 (c.f. the DEEP2 findings) This example has a GOODS:FORS2 redshift, z=1.19 The GOODS:FORS2 spectroscopy of ~80 EROs is being used for line-index diagnostics - Kuntschner et al, in prep Moustakas et al in prep An old-elliptical SED Data
15
15 the (dark) art of SED fitting Population synthesis fitting to observed SEDs of Lyman Break Galaxies at z~3 (inclusion of Spitzer data is forthcoming!). A large wavelength range is needed, especially to the rest-IR. Papovich 2002; Dickinson et al 2003 Significant mass from older stellar population can be hidden by ongoing star formation, -> 'maximum M/L models'
16
16 IRAC-Extremely Red Objects IRAC-selected with fn(3.6mm)/fn(z850) > 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 undetected 2 are undetected in ACS HUDF; others are detected (even in B 435 ), but faint. z - m(3.4 m) vs redshift Haojing Yan et al 2004, ApJ submitted

17 An “IERO” in the HUDF ACS NICMOS IRAC ISAAC
18
18 SED fitting for IEROs Most IEROs are best-fit with unreddened 2-component stellar populations: ~2.5 Gyr old stars + secondary ~0.1 Gyr burst z phot ~ 1.6 to 2.9 -Key result:- * In most IEROs, at z~2ish, OLD STARS are required. * Dust does not seem to be enough.
19
19 SEDs of the HUDF IEROs A few objects are poorly fit by old stellar models (e.g., with sharply rising flux to 8 m) Rest-frame K-band luminosities ~0.35 to 5 times present-day L* K for early-type galaxies, implying substantial stellar masses (~10 10 - 10 11 M sun ) Number density is comparable to or greater than that of present-day galaxies with similar luminosities
20
20 Completing the census K-band EROs at z~1-1.5 3.6 m IEROs at z~1.6-2.9 K-band J-K selection -> z~2.5 UV selected LBGs z~2.5-6 (and >6?) In progress... collating all the galaxy populations found to z~2.5 (ish) High-redshift teaser: stellar populations of galaxies at z~5.8
21
21 z = 5.828 i-dropout in CDF-S 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
22
22 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 ~1.5x10 10 M sun which is slightly larger than typical for L* LBGs at z~3 4000 A break observed wavelength

23 A STScI mini-Workshop on massive galaxies 27-29 September 2004
24
24 Conclusions The rest-infrared data are important! Multi- SED-fitting good for subtleties In the field, we find many massive galaxies (M * >few x10 10 M sun ) out to high-z The space densities are significant, n~10 -4 -10 -3 Mpc -3, so important as model constraints (see RSS talk) In progress: clustering/environment
25
25 The near future 3.6 m4.5 m 5.8 m8.0 m Stand by for the GOODS *Ultradeep* IRAC observations -and- the 24mm MIPS data in both fields

27 J-K color for z~2-3 selection Moustakas et al in prep Recent application of this criterion & of photometric redshift: van Dokkum et al 2003; Franx et al 2003; Daddi et al 2004 threshold color J-K>1.37 (AB) J-K>2.3 (Vega)
28
28 3 limit o = X-ray sources jk - selection The sample I use here is Ks-selected, restricted to SNR K >10 There are formal J- band dropouts that are included Total sample size: 131 galaxies, ~1 arcmin -2 X-ray sources are tracked, so two samples explored 'wx' - X-ray sources 'nx' - remaining obj's Moustakas et al in prep 10 limit o = X-ray sources
29
29 jk - LBG comparison Perhaps half of the jk sample would be too faint for ground-based R (rest-UV) selection to work... NOT too faint for z 850 selection, though (eg from GOODS). z 850 <26 for all jk galaxies! The surface densities are comparable, ~1 arcmin -2 The UV colors are only somewhat red -- V-z~1mag C.f. Steidel et al 2004 for z~2ish work

32
32 jk - HUDF morphologies ~10'' x 8'', ACS z-band, 0.03''/pix Moustakas et al in prep
33
33 Spatial associations There is early evidence of strong spatial correlations (Daddi et al 2004) Our own w( ) & ( ) measurement is in prog. The visual associations are dramatic, and there is clearly strong correspondence with distinct X-ray sources ~1 arcmin across Xray
34
34 jk - stellar masses very early results show rest-frame colors suggest stellar masses quite comparable to EROs, ~10 10 Mo and higher space densities may be comparable to EROs, as well ages are less constrained, still -- stay tuned. -Possible implications- EROs' progenitors were already fully in place upon formation? Star formation rates must have been high and sustained earlier -Questions- How do AGN (and environment) figure in this picture? What are their star formation rates?
35
35 Moustakas, Bauer, Immler et al in prep jk - X-ray sources There are 19/131 X-ray sources = 15% of the sample. Considering the X-ray sources, and a typical redshift of z~2.2, we constrain the photon index and the in situ obscuring H I column, N H : ~1.2 & N H ~1.2x10 22 cm -2 Luminosity/object L X >10 43 erg s -1 Largely => OBSCURED AGN Constraining the photon index
36
36 jk - X-ray stack results fullsofthard E(keV)0.5-80.5-22-8 NN 6.15.54.3 f X (cgs)7x10- 18 2.5x10 -17 log(L X ) 42.141.642.2 Moustakas, Bauer, Immler et al in prep Counts distributions 80 'clean' objects used for this stack
37
37 AGN vs Star Formation The observed soft and hard fluxes imply a photon index of around ~ 1.8. The estimated rest-frame L X(2-8keV) ~ 10 42 erg s -1 AGN If the obscuration is high, the hard-X-ray flux is absorbed, so the photon index will be larger. The X-ray luminosity and are consistent with Seyfert-level AGN activity. Optical spectroscopy (van Dokkum et al 2003, Daddi et al 2004) do reveal some AGN features in the z~2 galaxies. Large population of obscured AGN? Star Formation For a ~Salpeter IMF, and star formation rates somewhat above a few Msun/yr, there is a tight relation between SFR and L X, which arises from high-mass X- ray binaries and supernovae. SFR X ~ 100 Msun/yr [Grimm et al 2003] SFR UV ~ few Msun/yr [Kennicutt 1998] "Ultraluminous infrared galaxies"?
38
38 Comparison with UV- selected galaxies at z~2 Adelberger et al 2004; Steidel et al 2004; Reddy & Steidel 2004 The redshift ranges can be comparable The rest-UV colors are similar ~50% of jk galaxies would be missed by R-limit, but not by z-limit The implied X-ray and (uncorrected) UV SFRr are comparable The pure AGN fraction is similar; it may be higher for jk galaxies All of these points suggest that results from UV-selected surveys are somewhat incomplete; and that AGN may in fact be more adundant than indicated so far.
39
39 Questions & implications We are missing at least some of the mass and star formation at z~2-3 What is the relation of jk's with sub- mm bright z>2 ULIRGs? There may be a significant amount of hidden AGN activity at earlier times.
40
40 J-K colors of SCUBA glxs Many (most??) SCUBA sources are at =2.4 (Chapman et al 2003) The majority have IR counterparts & many have similar J-K colors (Frayer et al 2004) The surface densities are comparable; but the Frayer sources are magnified by foreground cluster. our 10 limit our reddest jk our color cut Frayer et al 2004
41
41 A picture It seems that even at ~2.2, the progenitors of massive galaxies are already in place. Are these galaxies freshly 'assembled'? Or did that happen much earlier, still? Why and how would 'monolithic' collapse happen? This is a major challenge... Even so, a lot is happening at that time. There is a lot of obscured AGN activity, that may be tracing something else. Morphologies are quite varied. I suspect we're missing even more from the picture at z~3-4, where we might see the 'pieces' of these most massive galalxies, fall into place.
42
42 Clustering evolution - theory Press-Schechter theory gives the abundance and clustering strength of dark matter halos Similar global galaxy properties may be (should be) connected to the dark matter somehow This connection can be made neatly with the 'occupation function' Moustakas & Somerville 2002
43
43 dark matter halo masses Moustakas & Somerville 2002 There can be many galaxies in each dark matter "halo", or none. The average behavior can be parametrized with the Halo Occupation Function, or Distribution (cf Wechsler's talk) N(M>M min ) = (M/M 1 ) M min - threshold halo mass M 1 - 'typical' mass - mass function slope "bias" comes from the clustering, which fixes the 'minimum' DM halo mass space density
44
44 galaxies' dark matter halos The occupation function parameters can be constrained through the measured clustering strength and the space density Here we plot the results for z~0 ellipticals, z~1.2 EROs, and z~3 LBGs
45
45 clustering evolution The simplest model hasa galaxies following the dark matter they're associated with -- 'galaxy conserving model' (Fry 1996) See the behavior of populations with properties established at different redshifts. Do they 'connect'? correlation scale linear bias
46
46 glazebrook et al Glazebrook et al. 2004 : comparison with low baryon-density models... The "Gemini Deep Deep Survey", GDDS, stellar space density meas'mt. Comparison is to 'GALFORM' models, Granato, Baugh. Are hierarchical models then, dead??
