摘要:

在这些会议记录中,我们报告HiZELS,高z发射线调查,我们成功的全景窄带战役调查使用WFCAM在UKIRT上检测和研究z~1-9的发射线星系。HiZELS使用H2(S1)窄带滤光片以及J和H波段的定制窄带滤光片,主要目的是提供大量的,相同选择的H-α发射星系的样本,红移为0.84,1.47和2.23。亮度函数之间的比较,宿主星系的属性,集群,并与环境的变化,这些H-α选择的样本产生独特的约束的性质和演化的恒星形成星系,在宇宙中的恒星形成活动的高峰时期。我们提供了一个项目的现状摘要,并详细介绍了迄今为止取得的主要科学成果:测量宇宙恒星形成率密度的演变到z > 2使用一个单一的恒星形成指标,恒星形成星系的形态,环境和尘埃含量的确定,并详细调查其集群属性的演变。我们还总结了该项目正在进行的工作和未来的目标。

英文摘要:

In these proceedings we report on HiZELS, the High-z Emission Line Survey, our successful panoramic narrow-band Campaign Survey using WFCAM on UKIRT to detect and study emission line galaxies at z~1-9. HiZELS employs the H2(S1) narrow-band filter together with custom-made narrow-band filters in the J and H-bands, with the primary aim of delivering large, identically-selected samples of H-alpha emitting galaxies at redshifts of 0.84, 1.47 and 2.23. Comparisons between the luminosity function, the host galaxy properties, the clustering, and the variation with environment of these H-alpha-selected samples are yielding unique constraints on the nature and evolution of star-forming galaxies, across the peak epoch of star-formation activity in the Universe. We provide a summary of the project status, and detail the main scientific results obtained so far: the measurement of the evolution of the cosmic star-formation rate density out to z > 2 using a single star-formation indicator, determination of the morphologies, environments and dust-content of the star-forming galaxies, and a detailed investigation of the evolution of their clustering properties. We also summarise the on-going work and future goals of the project.
