Using four different suites of cosmological simulations, we generate synthetic spectra for galaxies with different Lyman continuum escape fractions (fesc) at redshifts z=7-9, in the rest-frame wavelength range relevant for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec instrument. By investigating the effects of realistic star formation histories and metallicity distributions on the EW(Hb)-beta diagram (previously proposed as a tool for identifying galaxies with very high fesc), we find that neither of these effects are likely to jeopardize the identification of galaxies with extreme Lyman continuum leakage. Based on our models, we expect essentially all z=7-9 galaxies that exhibit rest-frame EW(Hb)< 30 Å to have fesc>0.5. Incorrect assumptions concerning the ionizing fluxes of stellar populations or the dust properties of z>6 galaxies can in principle bias the selection, but substantial model deficiencies of this type will at the same time reveal themselves as an offset between the observed and simulated distribution of z>6 galaxies in the EW(Hb)-beta diagram. Such offsets would thereby allow JWST/NIRSpec measurements of these observables to serve as input for further model refinement.
The GLASS James Webb Space Telescope Early Release Science Program. I. Survey Design and Release Plans
GLASS James Webb空间望远镜早期释放科学(以下简称GLASS-JWST-ERS)计划将获得并公开提供ERS活动的最深河外数据。它主要是为了解决两个关键的科学问题,即“什么来源电离宇宙和什么时候?重子如何在星系中循环?“,同时也使各种各样的第一眼科学调查成为可能。在主模式下,它将获得由前景哈勃前沿场星系团Abell 2744透镜的星系的NIRISS和NIRSpec光谱。与此同时,它将使用NIRCam来观察两个偏离星团中心的视场,其中透镜放大率可以忽略不计,因此可以有效地将其视为空白视场。为了让社区做好准备,以获得这一前所未有的数据,我们描述了科学原理,调查设计(包括目标选择和观测设置),并提出了预期灵敏度的预调试估计。此外,我们还介绍了计划公开发布的高级别数据产品,供更广泛的天文学界使用。
Warm molecular Hydrogen at high redshift with the James Webb Space Telescope
星系的形成受到引力坍缩、星系合并以及活动星系核和恒星形成相关反馈之间复杂相互作用的调控。这些过程释放的能量必须消散,使气体冷却、凝结并形成恒星。因此,气体如何冷却是理解星系形成的关键。\textit{Spitzer Space Telescope}红外光谱显示了一个星系的人口与弱的恒星形成和异常强大的H $_2$线发射。这是湍流耗散的特征,由大规模机械能注入维持。多相星际介质的冷却与H $_2$谱线的发射有关。这些结果对我们理解恒星形成的规律、反馈和星系形成的能量学有着深远的影响。在高红移湍流星系中H $_2$谱线能被强烈增强这一事实对于揭示H $_2$在星系聚集时代作为冷却剂的作用的\textit{James Webb Space Telescope}观测具有重要意义。
