Epoch of Reionization Cosmic ‘Dark Ages’ Starbursts and QSOs Major themes and questions regarding the formation and evolution of galaxies:

  • First stars and AGN
  • Mergers vs. cold streams driving galaxy

formation

  • Spatially resolved distributions of SF, gas,

stellar populations, metallicities

  • Rotation curves & connection to halo;

angular momentum distribution

  • Co-evolution of massive black holes and

host galaxies

  • Roles of mergers vs. secular evolution /

environment

  • Bulge vs disk formation
  • Roles of stellar and AGN feedback

Dust plays two crucial roles in star formation process

  • protects fragile molecules from being dissociated by intense UV &
  • ptical interstellar radiation field & hence enables collapse of

molecular gas to start

  • the dust provides an effjcient way for the protostar to radiate away

energy associated with the gravitational collapse of the molecular envelope, allowing growth of protostar to continue Although dust is important we still know very little about the composition and properties of the grains

Chapman, Blain, Ivison & Smail 2003

KECK spectroscopy of SCUBA/MAMBO galaxies

  • SMGs are at high z.
  • radio-submm photo-z agree on average with

spectroscopic z

  • radio selection introduces bias against z>3.

It has been very difficult to follow up SMGs without radio counterparts: potentially high-z or cold dust.

Cosmic star formation history

22

  • Studying the star formation history (temporal evolution of the

star formation is key in understanding galaxy evolution in its broader context

The star formation rate (SFR) is the key driver of structure evolution in the ISM, and strongly influences galaxy formation and evolution via energy, momentum, and chemical feedback from subsequent stellar winds and supernova explosions.

  • UV emission from the first generation of massive stars is most likely

responsible for the re-ionization of the Universe at z > 6, and the integrated light of evolving stellar populations generated a difguse cosmic IR to X-ray backgrounds.

  • IR-UV continuum emission and optical line emission can be used to

determine the specific SFR in galaxies, and an extinction corrected rate density, SFR(z), can be estimated.

Various probes of the global SF rate: ρ✶(z) M⊙◉☉⨁ yr-1 comoving Mpc-3

  • UV continuum (GALEX, LBGs)
  • H and [O II] emission in

spectroscopic surveys

  • mid-IR dust emission
  • 1.4 GHz radio emission

No simple “best method”: each has pros and cons (dust extinction, sample depth, z range and physical calibration uncertainties) Each has difgerent time-sensitivity to main sequence activity so if SFR not uniform do not expect same answers for the same sources

  • Insight into theories of star formation

Uncertainties on the IMF

31

Is the IMF `universalʼ? i.e. is ξ(M) the same function everywhere? Most theorists say no. Predict that fragmentation is easier if the gas can cool, so primordial gas without any metals should form more massive stars. Observationally, little or no evidence for variations in the IMF in our galaxy or nearby galaxies.

IMF and the SF history

32

Simulations suggest a strong bias of the Initial Mass Function (IMF) to larger stellar masses with decreasing metallicity and thus, on average, higher redshift. In turn this afgects the mass-loss of these early stars, and their subsequent explosions. Low metallicity implies low mass loss, so that early stars will be more massive than present stars, even if the IMF were universal. While most massive stars today explode as Type II core collapse supernovae (cc SNe or SNII), a near zero-metallicity star (Pop III) of ~150 M⊙◉☉⨁ more likely dies by pair instability. Feedback on the environment from the first generation of supernovae is difgerent than in a present-day galaxy. Star formation today takes place in dense molecular clouds, while in the early Universe it was hampered by ineffjcient cooling in pristine H-He environments.

Sub-mm galaxies behind clusters

41

Observation of galaxy clusters at sub-mm wavelengths almost always reveal a host of sources coming out of the confusion. These are distant, faint sub-mm galaxies. Study of the faint end (< 2 mJy)

  • f these sub-mm galaxy population is important to constrain the

cosmic star formation history.
