  More info

  We discovered an over-density of H-alpha-emitting galaxies associated with aPlanck compact source in the COSMOS field (PHzG237.0+42.5) through narrow-bandimaging observations with Subaru/MOIRCS. This Planck-selected dustyproto-cluster at z=2.16 has 38 H-alpha emitters including six spectroscopicallyconfirmed galaxies in the observed MOIRCS 4'x7' field (corresponding to~2.0x3.5~Mpc^2 in physical scale). We find that massive H-alpha emitters withlog(M*/Msun)>10.5 are strongly clustered in the core of the proto-cluster(within ~300-kpc from the density peak of the H-alpha emitters). Most of theH-alpha emitters in this proto-cluster lie along the star-forming main sequenceusing H-alpha-based SFR estimates, whilst the cluster total SFR derived byintegrating the H-alpha-based SFRs is an order of magnitude smaller than thoseestimated from Planck/Herschel FIR photometry. Our results suggest that H-alphais a good observable for detecting moderately star-forming galaxies and tracingthe large-scale environment in and around high-z dusty proto-clusters, butthere is a possibility that a large fraction of star formation could beobscured by dust and undetected in H-alpha observations.[Journal_ref: ]

  More info

  The Planck satellite has identified more than 2000 protocluster candidateswith extreme star formation rates (SFRs). Here, we present the spectroscopicidentification of a Planck-selected protocluster located in the Cosmos field,PHz G237.01+42.50 (G237). G237 contains a galaxy overdensity of 31spectroscopically identified galaxies at z~2.16 (significant at 5.4 sigma) in a10'x11' region. The overdensity contains two substructures or protoclusters at~2.16 and 2.195 with estimated halo masses at z=0 of ~(5-6)x10^14 Msun. Theoverdensity total SFR, ~4000 Msun/yr, is higher than predicted by simulationsbut much smaller than the SFR derived from the Planck data. The analysis of theHerschel data, in combination with the available ancillary data, shows thatsuch a difference is due to an effect of source alignment along the line ofsight that produces a 5 sigma overdensity of red Herschel sources in the field.We analyze the members' UV spectra and UV-far-infrared spectral energydistributions to derive their SFR, stellar mass, and metallicity. Galaxymembers include blue star-forming galaxies and AGN with SFRs and stellar massesconsistent with the main sequence. AGN, identified through optical spectroscopyor X-ray data, represent a significant fraction (20+/-10%) of all members ofthe protocluster at z=2.16, and they are powerful enough to produce radiativefeedback. The core of this protocluster, besides being denser, includes membersthat are, on average, more massive and star-forming and contains a largerfraction of AGN and Herschel-detected galaxies than the full sample, suggestingan environmental effect on galaxy growth. A comparison between G237 and otherprotoclusters in the literature at similar redshifts reveals some common traitsand differences that reflect both observational biases and a diversity inintrinsic properties that is not yet fully understood.[Journal_ref: A&A 654, A121 (2021)]

  More info

  We present Hubble Space Telescope far-UV spectra of 4 QSOs whose sightlinespass through the halo of NGC 1097 at impact parameters of 48 -165 kpc. NGC 1097is a nearby spiral galaxy that has undergone at least two minor merger events,but no apparent major mergers, and is relatively isolated with respect to othernearby bright galaxies. This makes NGC 1097 a good case study for exploringbaryons in a paradigmatic bright-galaxy halo. Lyman-alpha absorption isdetected along all sightlines and Si III 1206 is found along the 3 smallestimpact parameter sightlines; metal lines of C II, Si II and Si IV are onlyfound with certainty towards the inner-most sightline. The kinematics of theabsorption lines are best replicated by a model with a disk-like distributionof gas approximately planar to the observed 21 cm H I disk, that is rotatingmore slowly than the inner disk, and into which gas is infalling from theintergalactic medium. Some part of the absorption towards the inner-mostsightline may arise either from a small-scale outflow, or from tidal debrisassociated with the minor merger that gives rise to the well known `dog-leg'stellar stream that projects from NGC 1097. When compared to other studies, NGC1097 appears to be a `typical' absorber, although the large dispersion inabsorption line column density and equivalent width in a single halo goesperhaps some way in explaining the wide range of these values seen inhigher-redshift studies.[Journal_ref: ]

  More info

  We perform a comprehensive study of the total mass distribution of the galaxycluster RXCJ2248 ($z=0.348$) with a set of high-precision strong lensingmodels, which take advantage of extensive spectroscopic information on manymultiply lensed systems. In the effort to understand and quantify inherentsystematics in parametric strong lensing modelling, we explore a collection of22 models where we use different samples of multiple image families,parametrizations of the mass distribution and cosmological parameters. As inputinformation for the strong lensing models, we use the CLASH HST imaging dataand spectroscopic follow-up observations, carried out with the VIMOS and MUSEspectrographs, to identify bona-fide multiple images. A total of 16 backgroundsources, over the redshift range $1.0-6.1$, are multiply lensed into 47 images,24 of which are spectroscopically confirmed and belong to 10 individualsources. The cluster total mass distribution and underlying cosmology in themodels are optimized by matching the observed positions of the multiple imageson the lens plane. We show that with a careful selection of a sample ofspectroscopically confirmed multiple images, the best-fit model reproducestheir observed positions with a rms of $0.3$ in a fixed flat $\Lambda$CDMcosmology, whereas the lack of spectroscopic information lead to biases in thevalues of the model parameters. Allowing cosmological parameters to varytogether with the cluster parameters, we find (at $68\%$ confidence level)$\Omega_m=0.25^{+0.13}_{-0.16}$ and $w=-1.07^{+0.16}_{-0.42}$ for a flat$\Lambda$CDM model, and $\Omega_m=0.31^{+0.12}_{-0.13}$ and$\Omega_\Lambda=0.38^{+0.38}_{-0.27}$ for a universe with $w=-1$ and freecurvature. Using toy models mimicking the overall configuration of RXCJ2248, weestimate the impact of the line of sight mass structure on the positional rmsto be $0.3\pm 0.1$.(ABRIDGED)[Journal_ref: A&A 587, A80 (2016)]

CLASH-VLT: Dissecting the Frontier Fields Galaxy Cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 with $\sim800$ Spectra of Member Galaxies.
  More info

  We present VIMOS-VLT spectroscopy of the Frontier Fields clusterMACS~J0416.1-2403 (z=0.397). Taken as part of the CLASH-VLT survey, the largespectroscopic campaign provided more than 4000 reliable redshifts, including~800 cluster member galaxies. The unprecedented sample of cluster members atthis redshift allows us to perform a highly detailed dynamical and structuralanalysis of the cluster out to ~2.2$r_{200}$ (~4Mpc). Our analysis ofsubstructures reveals a complex system composed of a main massive cluster($M_{200}$~0.9$\times 10^{15} M_{\odot}$) presenting two major features: i) abimodal velocity distribution, showing two central peaks separated by $\DeltaV_{rf}$~1100 km s$^{-1}$ with comparable galaxy content and velocitydispersion, ii) a projected elongation of the main substructures along theNE-SW direction, with a prominent subclump ~600 kpc SW of the center and anisolated BCG approximately halfway between the center and the SW clump. We alsodetect a low mass structure at z~0.390, ~10' S of the cluster center, projectedat ~3Mpc, with a relative line-of-sight velocity of $\Delta V_{rf}$~-1700 kms$^{-1}$. The cluster mass profile that we obtain through our dynamicalanalysis deviates significantly from the "universal" NFW, being best fit by aSoftened Isothermal Sphere model instead. The mass profile measured from thegalaxy dynamics is found to be in relatively good agreement with those obtainedfrom strong and weak lensing, as well as with that from the X-rays, despite theclearly unrelaxed nature of the cluster. Our results reveal overall a complexdynamical state of this massive cluster and support the hypothesis that the twomain subclusters are being observed in a pre-collisional phase, in line withrecent findings from radio and deep X-ray data. With this article we alsorelease the entire redshift catalog of 4386 sources in the field of thiscluster.[Journal_ref: ]

  More info

  We use high-precision kinematic and lensing measurements of the total massprofile of the dynamically relaxed galaxy cluster MACS J1206.2-0847 at $z=0.44$to estimate the value of the ratio $\eta=\Psi/\Phi$ between the two scalarpotentials in the linear perturbed Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walkermetric.[...] Complementary kinematic and lensing mass profiles were derivedfrom exhaustive analyses using the data from the Cluster Lensing And Supernovasurvey with Hubble (CLASH) and the spectroscopic follow-up with the Very LargeTelescope (CLASH-VLT). Whereas the kinematic mass profile tracks only thetime-time part of the perturbed metric (i.e. only $\Phi$), the lensing massprofile reflects the contribution of both time-time and space-space components(i.e. the sum $\Phi+\Psi$). We thus express $\eta$ as a function of the massprofiles and perform our analysis over the radial range $0.5\,Mpc\le r\ler_{200}=1.96\,Mpc$. Using a spherical Navarro-Frenk-White mass profile, whichwell fits the data, we obtain $\eta(r_{200})=1.01\,_{-0.28}^{+0.31}$ at the68\% C.L. We discuss the effect of assuming different functional forms for massprofiles and of the orbit anisotropy in the kinematic reconstruction.Interpreting this result within the well-studied $f(R)$ modified gravity model,the constraint on $\eta$ translates into an upper bound to the interactionlength (inverse of the scalaron mass) smaller than 2 Mpc. This tight constrainton the $f(R)$ interaction range is however substantially relaxed whensystematic uncertainties in the analysis are considered. Our analysishighlights the potential of this method to detect deviations from generalrelativity, while calling for the need of further high-quality data on thetotal mass distribution of clusters and improved control on systematic effects.[Journal_ref: ]

  More info

  The analysis of galaxy properties and the relations among them and theenvironment, can be used to investigate the physical processes driving galaxyevolution. We study the cluster A209 by using the CLASH-VLT spectroscopic datacombined with Subaru photometry, yielding to 1916 cluster members down to astellar mass of 10^{8.6} Msun. We determine: i) the stellar mass function ofstar-forming and passive galaxies; ii) the intra-cluster light and itsproperties; iii) the orbits of low- and high-mass passive galaxies; and iv) themass-size relation of ETGs. The stellar mass function of the star-forminggalaxies does not depend on the environment, while the slope found for passivegalaxies becomes flatter in the densest region. The color distribution of theintra-cluster light is consistent with the color of passive members. Theanalysis of the dynamical orbits shows that low-mass passive galaxies havetangential orbits, avoiding small pericenters around the BCG. The mass-sizerelation of low-mass passive ETGs is flatter than that of high mass galaxies,and its slope is consistent with that of field star-forming galaxies. Low-massgalaxies are also more compact within the scale radius of 0.65 Mpc. The ratiobetween stellar and number density profiles shows a mass segregation in thecenter. The comparative analysis of the stellar and total density profilesindicates that this effect is due to dynamical friction. Our results areconsistent with a scenario in which the "environmental quenching" of low-massgalaxies is due to mechanisms such as harassment out to R200, starvation andram-pressure stripping at smaller radii, as supported by the analysis of themass function, of the dynamical orbits and of the mass-size relation of passiveearly-types in different regions. Our analyses support the idea that theintra-cluster light is formed through the tidal disruption of subgiantgalaxies.[Journal_ref: A&A 585, A160 (2016)]

  We present spatially resolved ALMA [CII] observations of the bright (fluxdensity S=400 mJy at 350 microns), gravitationally lensed, starburst galaxyPLCK G045.1+61.1 at z=3.427, the "Garnet". This source is part of our set of"Planck's Dusty GEMS", discovered with the Planck's all-sky survey. Twoemission-line clouds with a relative velocity offset of ~600 km/s extendtowards north-east and south-west, respectively, of a small, intenselystar-forming clump with a star-formation intensity of 220 Msun/yr/kpc^2, akinto maximal starbursts. [CII] is also seen in absorption, with a redshift of+350 km/s relative to the brightest CO component. [CII] absorption haspreviously only been found in the Milky Way along sightlines toward brighthigh-mass star-forming regions, and this is the first detection in anothergalaxy. Similar to Galactic environments, the [CII] absorption feature isassociated with [CI] emission, implying that this is diffuse gas shielded fromthe UV radiation of the clump, and likely at large distances from the clump.Since absorption can only be seen in front of a continuum source, the gas inthis structure can definitely be attributed to gas flowing towards the clump.The absorber could be part of a cosmic filament or merger debris being accretedonto the galaxy. We discuss our results also in light of the on-going debate ofthe origin of the [CII] deficit in dusty star-forming galaxies.[Journal_ref: ]

  More info

  Cosmological simulations suggest a strong correlation between highoptical-depth Ly$\alpha$ absorbers, which arise from the intergalactic medium(IGM), and 3-D mass overdensities on scales of $10-30$ $h^{-1}$ comoving Mpc.By examining the absorption spectra of $\sim$ 80,000 QSO sight-lines over avolume of 0.1 Gpc$^3$ in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), we haveidentified an extreme overdensity, BOSS1441, which contains a rare group ofstrong Ly$\alpha$ absorbers at $z=2.32\pm 0.02$. This absorber group isassociated with six QSOs at the same redshift on a 30 comoving Mpc scale. UsingMayall/MOSAIC narrowband and broadband imaging, we detect Ly$\alpha$ emitters(LAEs) down to $0.7\times L_{\rm{Ly\alpha}}^*$, and reveal a large-scalestructure of Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) in this field. Our follow-up LargeBinocular Telescope (LBT) observations have spectroscopically confirmed 19galaxies in the density peak. We show that BOSS1441 has an LAE overdensity of$10.8\pm 2.6$ on a 15 comoving Mpc scale which could collapse to a massivecluster with $M\gtrsim10^{15}$ M$_\odot$ at $z\sim0$. This overdensity is amongthe most massive large-scale structures at $z\sim2$ discovered to date.[Journal_ref: ]

  Modern cosmology predicts that a galaxy overdensity is associated to a largereservoir of the intergalactic gas, which can be traced by the Ly$\alpha$forest absorption. We have undertaken a systematic study of the relationbetween Coherently Strong intergalactic Ly$\alpha$ Absorption systems (CoSLAs),which have highest optical depth ($\tau$) in $\tau$ distribution, and massoverdensities on the scales of $\sim$ 10 - 20 $h^{-1}$ comoving Mpc. On suchlarge scales, our cosmological simulations show a strong correlation betweenthe effective optical depth ($\tau_{\rm{eff}}$) of the CoSLAs and the 3-D massoverdensities. In moderate signal-to-noise spectra, however, the profiles ofCoSLAs can be confused with high column density absorbers. For $z>2.6$, wherethe corresponding Ly$\beta$ is redshifted to the optical, we have developed thetechnique to differentiate between these two alternatives. We have applied thistechnique to SDSS-III quasar survey at $z = 2.6$ - 3.3, and we present a sampleof five CoSLA candidates with $\tau_{\rm{eff}}$ on 15 $h^{-1}$ Mpc greater than$4.5\times$ the mean optical depth. At lower redshifts of $z < 2.6$, where thebackground quasar density is higher, the overdensity can be traced byintergalactic absorption groups using multiple sight lines. Our overdensitysearches fully utilize the current and next generation of Ly$\alpha$ forestsurveys which cover a survey volume of $> (1\ h^{-1}$ Gpc)$^3$. In addition,systems traced by CoSLAs will build a uniform sample of the most massiveoverdensities at $z > 2$ to constrain the models of structure formation, andoffer a unique laboratory to study the interactions between galaxyoverdensities and the intergalactic medium.[Journal_ref: ]

  We developed an algorithm to find and characterize gravitationally lensedgalaxies (arcs) to perform a comparison of the observed and simulated arcabundance. Observations are from the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey withHubble (CLASH). Simulated CLASH images are created using the MOKA package andalso clusters selected from the high resolution, hydrodynamical simulations,MUSIC, over the same mass and redshift range as the CLASH sample. Thealgorithm' s arc elongation accuracy, completeness and false positive rate aredetermined and used to compute an estimate of the true arc abundance. We derivea lensing efficiency of $4 \pm 1$ arcs (with length $\ge 6"$ andlength-to-width ratio $\ge 7$) per cluster for the X-ray selected CLASH sample,$4 \pm 1$ arcs per cluster for the MOKA simulated sample and $3 \pm 1$ arcs percluster for the MUSIC simulated sample. The observed and simulated arcstatistics are in full agreement. We measure the photometric redshifts of alldetected arcs and find a median redshift $z_s = 1.9$ with 33% of the detectedarcs having $z_s > 3$. We find that the arc abundance does not depend stronglyon the source redshift distribution but is sensitive to the mass distributionof the dark matter halos (e.g. the $c-M$ relation). Our results show thatconsistency between the observed and simulated distributions of lensed arcsizes and axial ratios can be achieved by using cluster-lensing simulationsthat are carefully matched to the selection criteria used in the observations.[Journal_ref: ]

  More info

  Abstract: We take advantage of gravitational lensing amplification by A1689 (z = 0.187) to undertake the first space-based census of emission line galaxies (ELGs) in the field of a massive lensing cluster. Forty-three ELGs are identified to a flux of i 775 = 27.3 via slitless grism spectroscopy. One ELG (at z = 0.7895) is very bright owing to lensing magnification by a factor of ≈4.5. Several Balmer emission lines (ELs) detected from ground-based follow-up spectroscopy signal the onset of a major starburst for this low-mass galaxy (M * ≈ 2 × 10 9 M ⊙) with a high specific star formation rate (≈20Gyr -1). From the blue ELs we measure a gas-phase oxygen abundance consistent with solar (12+log(O/H) = 8.8 ± 0.2). We break the continuous line-emitting region of this giant arc into seven ∼1kpc bins (intrinsic size) and measure a variety of metallicity-dependent line ratios. A weak trend of increasing metal fraction is seen toward the dynamical center of the galaxy. Interestingly, the metal line ratios in a region offset from the center by ∼1kpc have a placement on the blue H II region excitation diagram with f ([O III])/f(Hβ) and f ([Ne III])/f(Hβ) that can be fitted by an active galactic nucleus (AGN). This asymmetrical AGN-like behavior is interpreted as a product of shocks in the direction of the galaxy's extended tail, possibly instigated by a recent galaxy interaction. © 2012.

  Abstract: We present a detailed strong-lensing, weak-lensing and X-ray analysis of Abell 2744 (z= 0.308), one of the most actively merging galaxy clusters known. It appears to have unleashed 'dark', 'ghost', 'bullet' and 'stripped' substructures, each ∼1014M⊙. The phenomenology is complex and will present a challenge for numerical simulations to reproduce. With new, multiband Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, we identify 34 strongly lensed images of 11 galaxies around the massive Southern 'core'. Combining this with weak-lensing data from HST, VLT and Subaru, we produce the most detailed mass map of this cluster to date. We also perform an independent analysis of archival Chandra X-ray imaging. Our analyses support a recent claim that the Southern core and Northwestern substructure are post-merger and exhibit morphology similar to the Bullet Cluster viewed from an angle. From the separation between X-ray emitting gas and lensing mass in the Southern core, we derive a new and independent constraint on the self-interaction cross-section of dark matter particles σ/m < 3 ± 1cm2g-1. In the Northwestern substructure, the gas, dark matter and galaxy components have become separated by much larger distances. Most curiously, the 'ghost' clump (primarily gas) leads the 'dark' clump (primarily dark matter) by more than 150kpc. We propose an enhanced 'ram-pressure slingshot' scenario which may have yielded this reversal of components with such a large separation, but needs further confirmation by follow-up observations and numerical simulations.

  Abstract: We present the discovery of a large-scale structure of emission-line galaxies at redshift z = 4.86 behind a massive cluster of galaxies, A1689. Previous spectroscopic observations of a galaxy, A1689-7.1 at z = 4.87, near this structure, revealed a possible overdense region of intergalactic medium (IGM) around the galaxy, which extends at least ~80 comoving Mpc along the line of sight. In order to investigate whether this z ~ 5 IGM overdense region contains a galaxy overdensity, we undertook narrow- and broad-band imaging observations around A1689-7.1 with Subaru/Suprime-Cam. We detected 51 candidates as Lyα emitters at redshift z = 4.86 ± 0.03 in the 32 × 24 arcmin2 field of view. After correction for lensing by the foreground cluster, we found a large-scale (~20 × 60 comoving Mpc) overdense region of galaxies around A1689-7.1 in the source plane at z = 4.86. The densest peak in this region has an overdensity of δ ~ 4, suggesting that this structure is probably a good candidate for a protocluster which may evolve into a massive cluster of galaxies in the present-day Universe. A1689-7.1 is located at the edge of this region, where the local galaxy density is ~1.6 times the mean density and is close to the density contrast in the IGM along the line of sight to A1689-7.1 estimated from the optical depth. The overdensities of galaxies we have found may suggest that at least some parts of the IGM overdense region have already started to form galaxies and moreover they relate to the formation of a protocluster. Although we lack information on the three-dimensional distributions of both IGM and galaxy overdense regions, the similarity of the scales of both regions may suggest that the two are parts of a single large-scale structure, which would be an large edge-on sheet along the line of sight with a size of ~20 × 60 × 80 comoving Mpc. © 2010 The Authors.

  Abstract: We report on the discovery of three bright, strongly lensed objects behind Abell 1703 and CL0024+16 from a dropout search over 25 arcmin2 of deep NICMOS data, with deep ACS optical coverage. They are undetected in the deep ACS images below 8500 and have clear detections in the J and H bands. Fits to the ACS, NICMOS, and IRAC data yield robust photometric redshifts in the range z 6-7 and largely rule out the possibility that they are low-redshift interlopers. All three objects are extended, and resolved into a pair of bright knots. The bright i-band dropout in Abell 1703 has an H-band AB magnitude of 23.9, which makes it one of the brightest known galaxy candidates at z > 5.5. Our model fits suggest a young, massive galaxy only 60 million years old with a mass of 1010 M ⊙. The dropout galaxy candidates behind CL0024+16 are separated by 25 (2 kpc in the source plane), and have H-band AB magnitudes of 25.0 and 25.6. Lensing models of CL0024+16 suggest that the objects have comparable intrinsic magnitudes of AB 27.3, approximately one magnitude fainter than L* at z 6.5. Their similar redshifts, spectral energy distribution, and luminosities, coupled with their very close proximity on the sky, suggest that they are spatially associated, and plausibly are physically bound. Combining this sample with two previously reported, similarly magnified galaxy candidates at z 6-8, we find that complex systems with dual nuclei may be a common feature of high-redshift galaxies. © 2009.

  More info

  Abstract: We present a new approach to gravitational lens mass map reconstruction. Our mass map solutions perfectly reproduce the positions, fluxes, and shears of all multiple images, and each mass map accurately recovers the underlying mass distribution to a resolution limited by the number of multiple images detected. We demonstrate our technique given a mock galaxy cluster similar to Abell 1689, which gravitationally lenses 19 mock background galaxies to produce 93 multiple images. We also explore cases in which as few as four multiple images are observed. Mass map solutions are never unique, and our method makes it possible to explore an extremely flexible range of physical (and unphysical) solutions, all of which perfectly reproduce the data given. Each reconfiguration of the source galaxies produces a new mass map solution. An optimization routine is provided to find those source positions (and redshifts, within uncertainties) that produce the "most physical" mass map solution, according to a new figure of merit developed here. Our method imposes no assumptions about the slope of the radial profile or mass following light. However, unlike "nonparametric" grid-based methods, the number of free parameters that we solve for is only as many as the number of observable constraints (or slightly greater if fluxes are constrained). For each set of source positions and redshifts, mass map solutions are obtained "instantly" via direct matrix inversion by smoothly interpolating the deflection field using a recently developed mathematical technique. Our LensPerfect software is straightforward and easy to use, and is publicly available on our Web site. © 2008. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.

  Abstract: We present a high signal-to-noise spectrum of a bright galaxy at z=4.9 in 14 hr of integration on VLT FORS2. This galaxy is extremely bright, i 850 p 23.10 ± 0.01, and is strongly lensed by the foreground massive galaxy cluster A1689 (z=0.18). Stellar continuum is seen longward of the Lyα emission line at-7100 å, while intergalactic H i produces strong absorption shortward of Lyα. Two transmission spikes at-6800 and-7040 å are also visible, along with other structures at shorter wavelengths. Although this star-forming is galaxy fainter than a QSO, the absence of a strong central ultraviolet flux source in it enables a measurement of the H i flux transmission in the intergalactic medium (IGM) in the vicinity of a high-redshift object. We find that the effective H i optical depth of the IGM is remarkably high within a large 14 Mpc (physical) region surrounding the galaxy compared to that seen toward QSOs at similar redshifts. Evidently, this high-redshift galaxy is located in a region of space where the amount of H i is much larger than that seen at similar epochs in the diffuse IGM. We argue that observations of high-redshift galaxies like this one provide unique insights into the nascent stages of baryonic large-scale structures that evolve into the filamentary cosmic web of galaxies and clusters of galaxies observed in the current universe. © 2008.

  Abstract: We present a new compilation of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), a new data set of low-redshift nearby-Hubble-flow SNe, and new analysis procedures to work with these heterogeneous compilations. This "Union" compilation of 414 SNe Ia, which reduces to 307 SNe after selection cuts, includes the recent large samples of SNe Ia from the Supernova Legacy Survey and ESSENCE Survey, the older data sets, as well as the recently extended data set of distant supernovae observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). A single, consistent, and blind analysis procedure is used for all the various SN Ia subsamples, and a new procedure is implemented that consistently weights the heterogeneous data sets and rejects outliers. We present the latest results from this Union compilation and discuss the cosmological constraints from this new compilation and its combination with other cosmological measurements (CMB and BAO). The constraint we obtain from supernovae on the dark energy density isΩΛ = 0.713-0.029+0.027(stat) -0.039+0.036(sys), for a flat, ACDM universe. Assuming a constant equation of state parameter, w, the combined constraints from SNe, BAO, and CMB give w = -0.969-0.063+0.059(stat) -0.066+0.063(sys). While our results are consistent with a cosmological constant, we obtain only relatively weak constraints on a w that varies with redshift. In particular, the current SN data do not yet significantly constrain w at z > 1. With the addition of our new nearby Hubble-flow SNe Ia, these resulting cosmological constraints are currently the tightest available. © 2008. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.

  Abstract: We present results of the HST Advanced Camera for Surveys spectroscopic ground-based redshift survey in the field of A1689. We measure 98 redshifts, increasing the number of spectroscopically confirmed objects sixfold. We present two spectra from this catalog of the Sextet Arcs, images that arise from a strongly lensed Lyman break galaxy (LBG) at a redshift of z = 3.038. Gravitational lensing by the cluster magnifies its flux by a factor of ∼ 16 and produces six separate images with a total r-band magnitude of r 625 = 21.7. The two spectra, each of which represents emission from different regions of the LBG, show H I and interstellar metal absorption lines at the systemic redshift. Significant variations are seen in the Lyα profile across a single galaxy, ranging from strong absorption to a combination of emission plus absorption. A spectrum of a third image close to the brightest arc shows Lyα emission at the same redshift as the LBG, arising from either another spatially distinct region of the galaxy or from a companion galaxy close to the LBG. Taken as a group, the Lyα equivalent width in these three spectra decreases with increasing equivalent width of the strongest interstellar absorption lines. We discuss how these variations can be used to understand the physical conditions in the LBG. Intrinsically, this LBG is faint, ∼0. 1L*, and is forming stars at a modest rate, ∼4 M ⊙ yr-1. We also detect absorption-line systems toward the Sextet Arcs at z = 2.873 and z = 2.534. The latter system is seen across two of our spectra. © 2007. The American Astronomical Society.

  Abstract: ABSTRACT We present high-resolution ultraviolet spectra of absorption-line systems towards the low-z quasi-stellar object (QSO) HS 0624+6907 (z QSO= 0.3700). Coupled with ground-based imaging and spectroscopic galaxy redshifts, we find evidence that many of these absorbers do not arise in galaxy haloes but rather are truly intergalactic gas clouds distributed within large-scale structures, and moreover, the gas is cool (T < 10 5 K) and has relatively high metallicity (Z > 0.9 Z ⊙). Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) data reveal a dramatic cluster of 13 H i Lyman α (Lyα) lines within a 1000 km s -1 interval at z abs= 0.0635. We find 10 galaxies at this redshift with impact parameters ranging from ρ= 135 h -170 kpc to 1.37 h -170 Mpc. The velocities and velocity spread of the Lyα lines in this complex are unlikely to arise in the individual haloes of the nearby galaxies; instead, we attribute the absorption to intragroup medium gas, possibly from a large-scale filament viewed along its long axis. Contrary to theoretical expectations, this gas is not the shock-heated warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM); the width of the Lyα lines all indicate a gas temperature T≪ 10 5 K, and metal lines detected in the Lyα complex also favour photoionized, cool gas. No O vi absorption lines are evident, which is consistent with photoionization models. Remarkably, the metallicity is near-solar, [M/H]=-0.05 ± 0.4 (2σ uncertainty), yet the nearest galaxy which might pollute the intergalactic medium is at least 135 h -170 kpc away. Tidal stripping from nearby galaxies appears to be the most likely origin of this highly enriched, cool gas. More than six Abell galaxy clusters are found within 4°of the sight line suggesting that the QSO line of sight passes near a node in the cosmic web. At z≈ 0.077, we find absorption systems as well as galaxies at the redshift of the nearby clusters Abell 564 and Abell 559. We conclude that the sight line pierces a filament of gas and galaxies feeding into these clusters. The absorber at z abs= 0.075 73 associated with Abell 564/559 also has a high metallicity with [C/H] > -0.6, but again the closest galaxy is relatively far from the sight line (ρ= 293 h -170 kpc). The Doppler parameters and H i column densities of the Lyα lines observed along the entire sight line are consistent with those measured towards other low-z QSOs, including a number of broad (b > 40 km s -1) Lyα lines. © 2006 RAS.

  Abstract: We present optical spectra of the peculiar Type la supernova (SN Ia) 1999ac. The data extend from -15 to +42 days with respect to B-band maximum and reveal an event that is unusual in several respects. Prior to B-band maximum, the spectra resemble those of SN 1999aa, a slowly declining event, but possess stronger Si II and Ca II signatures (more characteristic of a spectroscopically normal SN). Spectra after the B-band maximum appear more normal. The expansion velocities inferred from the iron lines appear to be lower than average, whereas the expansion velocity inferred from calcium H and K are higher than average. The expansion velocities inferred from Si II are among the slowest ever observed, although SN 1999ac is not particularly dim. The analysis of the parameters v 10(Si II), R(Si II), v̇, and Δm 15 further underlines the unique characteristics of SN 1999ac. We find convincing evidence of C II λ6580 in the day - 15 spectrum with ejection velocity v > 16,000 km s -1, but this signature disappears by day - 9. This rapid evolution at early times highlights the importance of extremely early-time spectroscopy. © 2005. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.

  Abstract: We investigate the physical nature of blue cores in early-type galaxies through the first multiwavelength analysis of a serendipitously discovered field blue-nucleated spheroid in the background of the deep Hubble Space Telescope ACS/WFC griz multicolor observations of the cluster A1689. The resolved g-r, r-i, and i-z color maps reveal a prominent blue core identifying this galaxy as a "typical" case study, exhibiting variations of 0.5-1.0 mag in color between the center and the outer regions, opposite to the expectations of reddened metallicity-induced gradients in passively evolved elliptical galaxies. From a Magellan-Clay telescope spectrum we secure the galaxy redshift at z = 0.624. We find a strong X-ray source coincident with the spheroid galaxy. Spectral features and a high X-ray luminosity indicate the presence of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the galaxy. However, a comparison of the X-ray luminosity to a sample derived from the Chandra Deep Field-South displays L X to be comparable to type 1/QSO galaxies while the optical flux is consistent with a normal star-forming galaxy. We conclude that the galaxy's nonthermal component dominates at high-energy wavelengths, while we associate the spheroid blue light with the stellar spectrum of normal star-forming galaxies. We argue for a probable association between the presence of blue cores in spheroids and AGN activity. © 2005. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.

  Abstract: We present an extensive new time series of spectroscopic data of the peculiar SN 1999aa in NGC 2595. Our data set includes 25 optical spectra between -11 and +58 days with respect to B-band maximum light, providing an unusually complete time history. The early spectra resemble those of an SN 1991T-like object but with a relatively strong Ca H and K absorption feature. The first clear sign of Si II λ6355, characteristic of Type Ia supernovae, is found at day -7, and its velocity remains constant up to at least the first month after B-band maximum light. The transition to normal-looking spectra is found to occur earlier than in SN 1991T, suggesting SN 1999aa as a possible link between SN 1991T-like and Branch-normal supernovae. Comparing the observations with synthetic spectra, doubly ionized Fe, Si, and Ni are identified at early epochs. These are characteristic of SN 1991T-like objects. Furthermore, in the day -11 spectrum, evidence is found for an absorption feature that could be identified as high velocity C II λ6580 or Hα. At the same epoch C II λ4648.8 at photospheric velocity is probably responsible for the absorption feature at 4500 Å. High-velocity Ca is found around maximum light together with Si II and Fe II confined in a narrow velocity window. Implied constraints on supernovae progenitor systems and explosion hydrodynamic models are briefly discussed.

  Abstract: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has discovered a z = 2.4917 radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN) with a luminous, variable, low-polarization UV continuum, H I two-photon emission, and a moderately broad Lyα line (FWHM ≃ 1430 km s-1) but without obvious metal-line emission. SDSS J113658.36+024220.1 does have associated metal-line absorption in three distinct, narrow systems spanning a velocity range of 2710 km s-1. Despite certain spectral similarities, SDSS J1136+0242 is not a Lyman break galaxy. Instead, the Lyα and two-photon emission can be attributed to an extended, low-metallicity narrow-line region. The unpolarized continuum argues that we see SDSS 11136+0242 very close to the axis of any ionization cone present. We can conceive of two plausible explanations for why we see a strong UV continuum but no broad-line emission in this "face-on radio galaxy" model for SDSS J1136+0242: the continuum could be relativistically beamed synchrotron emission that swamps the broad-line emission, or more likely, SDSS J1136+0242 could be similar to PG1407+265, a quasar in which for some unknown reason the high-ionization emission lines are very broad, very weak, and highly blueshifted.

  Abstract: There is evidence that the transiting planet HD 209458h has a large exosphere of neutral hydrogen, based on a 15% decrement in Lyman-α flux that was observed by Vidal-Madjar et al. during transits. Here we report upper limits on Hα absorption by the exosphere. The results are based on optical spectra of the parent star obtained with the Subaru High Dispersion Spectrograph. Comparison of the spectra taken inside and outside of transit reveals no exospheric Hα signal greater than 0.1% within a 5.1 Å band (chosen to have the same Δλ/λ as the 15% Lyα absorption). The corresponding limit on the column density of n = 2 neutral hydrogen is N2 ≲ 109cm-2. This limit constrains proposed models involving a hot (∼ 104K) and hydrodynamically escaping exosphere.

  Abstract: We present discovery spectra of a sample of eight lensed galaxies at high redshift, 3.7 < z < 5.2, selected by their red colors in the fields of four massive clusters: A1689, A2219, A2390, and AC 114. Metal absorption lines are detected and observed to be blueshifted by 300-800 km s-1 with respect to the centroid of Lyα emission. A correlation is found between this blueshift and the equivalent width of the metal lines, which we interpret as a broadening of saturated absorption lines caused by a dispersion in the outflow velocity of interstellar gas. Local starburst galaxies show similar behavior, associated with obvious gas outflows. We also find a trend of increasing equivalent width of Lyα emission with redshift, which may be a genuine evolutionary effect toward younger stellar populations at high redshift with less developed stellar continua. No obvious emission is detected below the Lyman limit in any of our spectra or in deep U- or B-band images. The UV continua are reproduced well by early B stars, although some dust absorption would allow a fit to hotter stars. If B stars dominate, then their relatively prominent stellar absorption lines should separate in wavelength from those of the outflowing gas, requiring more detailed spectroscopy. After correcting for the lensing, we derive small physical sizes for our objects, ∼0.5-5 kpc h-1 for a flat cosmology with Ωm = 0.3, Ω Λ = 0.7. The lensed images are only marginally resolved in good seeing despite their close proximity to the critical curve, where large arcs are visible and hence high magnifications of up to ∼20 times are inferred. Two objects show a clear spatial extension of the Lyα emission relative to the continuum starlight, indicating a "breakout" of the gas. The sizes of our galaxies together with their large gas motion suggests that outflows of gas are common at high redshift and associated with galaxy formation.

  Abstract: We present near-infrared spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of ERO J164023+ 4644, an Extremely Red Object (ERO) with (R - K) = 5.9 at z = 1.05 that has been detected by Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) at 15 μm. ERO J164023 resembles a disk galaxy, with an optical/infrared spectral energy distribution that is strongly reddened by dust (LFIR/LB ≲ 200; AV ∼ 5). The combination of the narrow width of the emission lines in our spectra (∼ 300 km s-1) and the relatively high [N II]/Hα line ratio indicate that this is a "composite" starburst-Seyfert galaxy. Assuming that star formation dominates the energy output, we constrain the star formation rate to lie in the broad range ∼ 10-700 M⊙ yr-1 from a variety of star formation indicators. We compare ERO J164023 with the only other spectroscopically identified dusty EROs: HR10 (z = 1.44) and ISO J1324-2016 (z = 1.50). ERO J164023 and HR10 have similar disklike morphologies in the rest-frame UV, and both exhibit a variation in the apparent dust obscuration depending upon the diagnostic used, which suggests that there is a complex spatial mix of stellar populations and dust in these galaxies. In contrast, the compact morphology and spectral properties of ISO J1324-2016 indicate that it is a dusty quasar. Overall, our results demonstrate that the population of dusty galaxies identified using photometric ERO criteria includes systems ranging from pure starbursts through transition systems, such as ERO J164023, to dusty quasars. We suggest that the classification of EROs into these subclasses, necessary for the detailed modeling of the population, cannot be reliably achieved from optical/near-infrared photometry and instead requires mid/far-infrared or submillimeter photometry and near-infrared spectroscopy. The advent of efficient multiobject spectrographs working in the near-infrared, as well as the imminent launch of SIRTF, therefore promises the opportunity of rapid progress in our understanding of the elusive ERO population. © 2001.

  More info

  Abstract: This paper presents data from the BIMA interferometer showing spatially resolved absorption spectra of the gravitationally lensed quasar PKS 1830-211. High-resolution (1.2 km s-1) spectra were taken in two spectral windows centered on the redshifted frequencies of the HCO+(2 ← 1) and HCN(2 ← 1) molecular transitions. There is no molecular absorption in the northeast image, but the southwest image reveals optically thick absorbing gas at these transition frequencies. Further analyses conclude that the spectra are consistent with completely saturated absorption in the southwest image, and the line profiles suggest that the absorbing medium is complex, perhaps containing multiple components and small-scale structure. The absorption occurs along a pencil beam through the lensing galaxy which is thought to be a late-type spiral oriented almost face-on. However, the spectra show absorption spanning more than 60 km s-1, which is difficult to explain for this scenario.

  Abstract: We present a spectroscopic redshift of z = 1.675 for the well-known multiply lensed system of arcs seen in the z = 0.39 cluster Cl 0024+16. In contrast to earlier work, we find that the lensed images are accurately reproduced by a projected mass distribution which traces the locations of the brightest cluster elliptical galaxies, suggesting that the most significant minima of the cluster potential are not dynamically erased. The averaged mass profile is shallow and consistent with predictions of recent numerical simulations. The source redshift enables us to determine an enclosed cluster mass of M(

  Abstract: We report on the spectroscopic identification and the long-awaited redshift measurement of the heavily obscured, gravitationally lensed radio source PKS 1830-211, which was first observed as a radio Einstein ring. The northeast component of the doubly imaged core is identified, in our infrared spectrum covering the wavelength range 1.5-2.5 μm, as an impressively reddened quasar at z = 2.507 ± 0.002. The mass contained within the Einstein ring radius is M(r < 2.1 h-1 kpc) = 6.3 × 1010 h-1 M⊙ for ΩM = 1 or M(r < 2.4 h-1 kpc) = 7.4 × 1010 h-1 M⊙ for ΩM = 0.3. Our redshift measurement, together with the recently measured time delay (Lovell et al.), means that we are a step closer to determining H0 from this lens. Converting the time delay into H0 by using existing models leads to high values of the Hubble parameter, H0 = 65+15-9 for ΩM = 1 and H0 = 7618-10, for ΩM = 0.3. Since the lensing galaxy lies very close to the center of the lensed ring, improving the error bars on H0 will require not only a more precise time delay measurement but also very precise astrometry of the whole system.

  Abstract: New high-quality Keck and ESO images of PKS 1830-211 are presented. By applying a powerful new deconvolution algorithm to these optical and infrared data, both images of the flat spectrum core of the radio source have been identified. An extended source is also detected in the optical images which is consistent with the expected location of the lensing galaxy. The source counterparts are very red at I - K ∼ 7, which suggests strong Galactic absorption with additional absorption by the lensing galaxy at z = 0.885 and is consistent with the detection of high-redshift molecules in the lens. © 1998.

  Abstract: We describe the properties of three red arcs discovered at z = 4.04 behind the cluster A2390 (z = 0.23). We demonstrate that these arcs are images of a single galaxy where lensing is compounded by an elliptical cluster member near the critical curve of the cluster. The combined magnification is estimated to be ∼20 using Hubble Space Telescope images, depending on the gradient of the model potentials, implying an unlensed magnitude for the source of IAB = 25.5. Keck spectroscopy reveals a continuum that is well fitted by B stars and attenuated by the Lyman series forest with an opacity consistent with z ∼ 4 QSO spectra, making the arcs relatively red. Damped Lyα absorption is observed at the source redshift corresponding to a high column density NHI = 3 × 1021. Lyα emission is found to be spatially separated (∼0.5 kpc) from the bright stellar continuum and lies ∼300 km s-1 redward of interstellar absorption lines at z = 4.04. Similar redward shifts are found in all high-redshift galaxies with good spectroscopy, indicating that outward flows of enriched gas are typical of young galaxies. Finally, we briefly comment on the notorious "straight arc" in A2390, which is resolved into two unrelated galaxies at z = 0.913 and z = 1.033. © 1998. The American Astronomical Society.

  Abstract: Using the high-resolution configuration of the BIMA array, we have spatially resolved molecular absorption at z = 0.89 toward the gravitational lens PKS 1830-211. Two continuum sources are detected at λ3 mm separated by 0″.98 at the known positions of the doubly lensed radio core. Broad molecular absorption of width 40 km s-1 is found toward the southwest component only, where surprisingly it does not reach the base of the continuum, despite the large optical depth inferred from the molecular transitions (Wiklind & Combes). This implies incomplete coverage of the southwest component, ∼70%, by the molecular gas, despite the small projected size of the source, less than 8 h-1 pc at the absorption redshift. Similar saturated but unfilled columns of low-density molecular gas are found in absorption through the spiral arms of the Milky Way, with large variations in column depth on parsec scales, indicating that the southwest component of PKS 1830-211 may be occulted by an ordinary spiral arm. At spectral resolution better than 5 km s-1, we might expect the broad molecular absorption of PKS 1830-211 to resolve into multiple narrow lines. © 1997. The American Astronomical Society.

  Abstract: We have detected the J = 4 ← 3 rotational transition of 12CO in absorption at z = 0.89 toward the quasar PKS 1830-211, but not the 12CO (5 ← 4) or the 3/1 ← 3/P0 fine-structure line of neutral carbon. The intervening molecular medium thus has a total 12CO column density of 1018 cm-2 ≤ N(CO) ≤ 5 × 1018 cm-2 with a most likely value of N(CO) ≃ 2 × 10-8 cm-2, which corresponds to the large column density of molecular hydrogen of N(H2) = 2.5 × 1022 cm-2 and a reddening of Aν. = 25 mag. The 12CO excitation temperature is low, below 15 K. Comparison with existing molecular absorption results shows that the absorbing material has molecular abundances similar to Galactic dark clouds. We find an upper limit for atomic carbon of N(C I) ≤ 1018 cm-2, which again would be the case for most Galactic dark clouds. We also report new observations of the absorbing system toward B0218+357 at z = 0.68. We have tentatively detected the 13CO (4 ← 3) line, but for H2O, although a feature is seen at the correct velocity, because of the inadequate signal-to-noise ratio we report only an upper limit for the fundamental line of ortho-water vapor. The tentative detection of the 13CO J = 4 ← 3 line implies that the 13CO excitation temperature is lower than 20 K and the column density is fairly large, 4 × 1016 cm-2 ≤ N (CO13) ≤ 2.2 × 1017 cm-2, with a likely value of N(CO13) ≃ 1017 cm-2, giving rise to saturated absorption in the J = 2 ← 1 transition. The total column density of molecular gas is again large in this source, N(H2) ≥ 2 × 1022 cm-2, which corresponds to a reddening larger than 20 mag. © 1997. The American Astronomical Society.
