用ALMA检测最远(z>7)目标

Detecting the Most Distant (z>7) Objects with ALMA

Fabian Walter, Chris Carilli

摘要:

探测和研究最高红移的物体,直到z>7的宇宙再电离结束,显然是ALMA的一个关键科学目标。ALMA原则上能够探测到这个红移范围内的物体,无论是从高J(J>7)CO跃迁还是从电离碳(CII)发射,CII是ISM的主要冷却线之一。ALMA甚至能够解决单个目标的这种发射,这将是确定再电离时代系统动力学质量的少数方法之一。我们讨论了目前的一些问题,在高红移的物体的检测和表征,以及如何ALMA将消除大部分(但不是全部)。

英文摘要:

Detecting and studying objects at the highest redshifts, out to the end of Cosmic Reionization at z>7, is clearly a key science goal of ALMA. ALMA will in principle be able to detect objects in this redshift range both from high-J (J>7) CO transitions and emission from ionized carbon, [CII], which is one of the main cooling lines of the ISM. ALMA will even be able to resolve this emission for individual targets, which will be one of the few ways to determine dynamical masses for systems in the Epoch of Reionization. We discuss some of the current problems regarding the detection and characterization of objects at high redshifts and how ALMA will eliminate most (but not all) of them.
