  1. History of IGM F(HI) = 0 C.Carilli (NRAO) Heidelberg 05 F(HI) = 1 Epoch of Reionization (EoR) • last phase of cosmic evolution to be tested • bench-mark in cosmic structure formation indicating the first luminous structures F(HI) = 1e-5

  2. z=5.80 z=5.82 z=5.99 z=6.28 The Gunn Peterson Effect End of reionization f(HI) > 0.001 at z = 6.3 => opaque at l_obs<0.9mm Fan et al 2003

  3. Near-edge of reionization: GP Effect Fairly Fast: • f(HI) > 1e-3 at z >= 6.3 (0.87Gyr) • f(HI) < 1e-4 at z <= 5.7 (1.0 Gyr) Although cf. Songaila, Oh, Stern, Malhotra… Fan + 2005; White + 2005

  4. Neutral IGM evolution (Gnedin 2004): ‘Cosmic Phase transition’ at z=6 to 7 8 Mpc (comoving) Normalization: GP absorption, LCDM + z=4 LBGs, T_IGM

  5. WMAP Large scale polarization of CMB (Kogut et al.) CMB Temperature fluctuations imprinted by primordial density fluctuations at last scattering (z=1000) Large scale polarization: Thompson scattering at EoR t_e = 0.17 => F(HI) < 0.5 at z=17 20deg

  6. GP + CMB => ‘complex’ reionization extending from z=20 to 6? • Limitations of current measurements: • CMB polarization: -- t_e= Ln_es_e = integral measure through universe=> allows many reionization scenarios • Gunn-Peterson effect: --t_Lya >>1 for f(HI)>0.001-- High z universe is opaque at (observed) optical wavelengths  Reionization occurs in ‘twilight zone’, observable at near-IR through radio wavelengths

  7. Radio astronomical probes of the Epoch of Reionization and the 1st luminous objects CMB: large scale polarization + secondary anisotropies Objects within EoR – Molecular gas, dust, star formation, process of reionization Neutral IGM – HI 21cm emission and absorption Collaborators USA – Carilli, Walter, Fan, Strauss, Owen, Gnedin, Lo Euro – Bertoldi, Cox, Menten, Omont, Beelen SKA Key Program science team– Briggs, Carilli, Furlanetto, Rawlings Science with the Square Kilometer Array (NAR, Carilli & Rawlings) http://www.skatelescope.org/pages/page_astronom.htm

  8. IRAM 30m + MAMBO: sub-mJy sens at 250 GHz + wide fields  dust • IRAM PdBI: sub-mJy sens at 90 and 230 GHz + arcsec resol. mol. gas • VLA: uJy sens at 1.4 GHz  star formation • VLA: < 0.1 mJy sens at 20-50 GHz + 0.2” resol.  mol. gas (low order)

  9. FIR = 1.6e12 L_sun Magic of (sub)mm: distance independent method of studying objects in universe for z=0.8 to 8 L_FIR = 4e12 x S_250(mJy) L_sun SFR = 1e3 x S_250 M_sun/yr Radio-FIR (Yun+ 02)

  10. High Redshift QSOs: SDSS, DPSS (Fan 2005) • z>4: 950 known • z>5: 52 • z>6: 8 • 30 at z~6 expected in the whole survey M_B < -26 => L_bol > 1e14 L_sun M_BH > 1e9 M_sun

  11. QSO host galaxies – M_BH – s relation • Most (all?) low z spheroidal galaxies have SMBH: M_BH=0.002M_bulge • ‘Causal connection between SMBH and spheroidal galaxy formation’ (Gebhardt et al. 2002)? • Luminous high z QSOs have massive host galaxies (1e12 M_sun)

  12. MAMBO surveys of z>2 DPSS+SDSS QSOs 1148+52 z=6.4 1e13L_sun 1048+46 z=6.2 Arp220 • 30% of luminous QSOs have S_250 > 2 mJy, independent of redshift from z=1.5 to 6.4 • L_FIR =1e13 L_sun = 0.1 x L_bol: Dust heating by starburst or AGN?

  13. L_FIR vs L’(CO) High-z sources 1e3 M_sun/yr Index=1 1e11 M_sun Index=1.7 • M(H_2) = X * L’(CO), X=4 (Milkyway), X=0.8 (ULIRGs) • Telescope time: t(dust) = 1hr, t(CO) = 10hr

  14. VLA detections of HCN 1-0 emission n(H_2) > 1e5 cm^-3 (vs. CO: n(H_2) > 1e3 cm^-3) index=1 Solomon et al z=2.58 70 uJy

  15. Objects within EoR: QSO 1148+52 at z=6.4 • highest redshift quasar known • L_bol = 1e14 L_sun • central black hole: 1-5 x 109 Msun(Willotetal.) • clear Gunn Peterson trough (Fan etal.)

  16. Cosmic (proper) time 1/16 T_univ = 0.87Gyr

  17. 1148+52 z=6.42: Dust and Gas detection 46.6149 GHz CO 3-2 Off channels Rms=60uJy M(H_2) = 2e10 M_sun L_FIR = 1.2e13 L_sun, M_dust =7e8M_sun S_250 = 5.0 +/- 0.6 mJy • Dust formation: 1.4e9yr (AGB winds) > t_univ (8.7e8yr) => dust formed in high mass stars? => silicate grains? • C, O production (3e7 M_sun): few e8 yr => Star formation started early (z = 10)?

  18. IRAM Plateau de Bure n2 (6-5) (7-6) (3-2) • Tkin=100K, nH2=105cm-3 • FWHM = 305 km/s • z = 6.419 +/- 0.001  Typical of starburst nuclei (eg. NGC253, Arp220)

  19. VLA imaging of CO3-2 at 0.4” and 0.15” resolution rms=50uJy at 47GHz • Separation = 0.3” = 1.7 kpc • T_B = 20K  Typical of starburst nuclei • Merging galaxies? • CO extended to NW by 1” (=5.5 kpc) tidal(?) feature

  20. 1148+5251: radio-FIR SED Beelen et al. S_1.4= 55 +/- 12 uJy 1048+46 T_D = 50 K • Star forming galaxy characteristics: radio-FIR SED, Gas/Dust, CO excitation and T_B => Coeval starburst/AGN? SFR = 1e3 M_sun/yr • Stellar spheroid formation in few e7 yrs = e-folding time for SMBH • => Coeval formation of galaxy/SMBH at z = 6.4 ?

  21. 1148+52: Masses • M(dust) = 7e8 M_sun • M(H_2) = 2e10 M_sun • M_dyn (r=2.5kpc) = 5e10 M_sun • M_BH = 3e9 M_sun => M_bulge = 1.5e12 M_sun • Gas/dust = 30, typical of starburst • Dynamical vs. gas mass => baryon dominated? • Dynamical vs. ‘bulge’ mass => M – s breaks-down at high z? [SMBH forms first?]

  22. Cosmic Stromgren Sphere • Accurate redshiftfrom CO: z=6.419+/0.001 Ly a, high ioniz Lines: inaccurate redshifts (Dz > 0.03) • Proximity effect:photons leaking from 6.32<z<6.419 White et al. 2003 z=6.32 • ‘time bounded’ Stromgren sphere: R = 4.7 Mpc t_qso= 1e5 R^3 f(HI)= 1e7yrs

  23. Loeb & Rybicki 2000

  24. z>6 QSOs with MgII and/or CO redshifts (Wyithe et al. 05) <Dz> = 0.08 => <R> = 4.4 Mpc

  25. Constraints on neutral fraction at z=6.4 ? • GP => f(HI) > 0.001 • If f(HI) = 0.001, then t_qso = 1e4 yrs – implausibly short given QSO fiducial lifetimes (1e7 years)? • Probability arguments suggest: f(HI) > 0.1 P(>x_HI) 10% Wyithe et al. 2005 90% probability x(HI) > curve t_qso/1e7 yrs

  26. Near-edge of reionization: GP + Cosmic Stromgren Spheres Very Fast? • f(HI) > 1e-1 at z > 6.4 (0.87Gyr) • f(HI) < 1e-4 at z < 5.7 (1.0 Gyr) See also Cosmic Stromgren Surfaces (Mesinger & Haiman 2004 but cf. Oh & Furnaletto 2005)

  27. Molecular Gas and dust during the EoR • FIR luminous galaxy at z=6.42: 1e13 Lsun observe dust, gas, star formation, AGN • Sub-kpc imaging: Merging galaxy: M_gas= 2x1010 M_sun, M_dyn=6e10 M_sun • Early enrichment of heavy elements and dust produced => star formation 0.4 Gyr after the big bang • High z: Coeval formation of SMBH + stars and break-down of M-s at high z? • Cosmic Stromgren sphere = 4.7 Mpc => ‘witnessing process of reionization’ t_qso = 1e7 * f(HI) yrs ‘fast’ reionization: f(HI)>0.1 at z=6.4?

  28. Continuum sensitivity of future arrays: Arp 220 vs z (FIR = 1.6e12 L_sun) cm: Star formation, AGN (sub)mm: Dust, molecular gas Near-IR: Stars, ionized gas, AGN

Cosmic Webafter reionization = Ly alpha forest (d <= 10) 1422+23 z=3.62 Womble 1996 N(HI) = 1e13 -- 1e15 cm^-2, f(HI/HII) = 1e-5 -- 1e-6 => Before reionization N(HI) =1e18 – 1e21 cm^-2 Cosmic web before reionization: HI 21Forest • radio G-P (t=1%) • 21 Forest (10%) • mini-halos (10%) • primordial disks (100%) • expect 0.05 to 0.5 deg^-2 at z> 6 with S_151 > 6 mJy (Carlli,Jarvis,Haiman) z=12 z=8 20mJy 130MHz

  36. ‘Pathfinders’: PAST, LOFAR, MWA, VLA-VHF, … MWA prototype (MIT/ANU) LOFAR (NL) PAST (CMU/China) VLA-VHF (CfA/NRAO)

  37. VLA-VHF: 180 – 200 MHz Prime focus X-dipole Greenhill, Blundell (SAO Rx lab); Carilli, Perley (NRAO) Leverage: existing telescopes, IF, correlator, operations • $110K D+D/construction (CfA) • First light: Feb 16, 05 • Four element interferometry: May 05 • First limits: Dec 05

  38. Main Experiment: Cosmic Stromgren spheres around z=6 to 6.5 SDSS QSOs (Wyithe & Loeb 2004) VLA-VHF 190MHz 250hrs 20 f(HI) mK 15’ • VLA spectral/spatial resolution well matched to expected signal: 7’, 1000 km/s • Set first hard limits on f(HI) at end of cosmic reionization (f(HI) < 0.3) • Easily rule-out cold IGM (T_s < T_cmb): signal = 360 mK 0.50+/-0.12 mJy

  41. Main hurdle: Interference! Digital TV: 186 to 192MHz, 200 W from ABQ KNMD Ch 9 Digital TV

  42. Radio astronomy – Probing the EoR • ‘Twilight zone’:physics of 1st luminous sources (limited to near-IR to radio wavelengths) • Currently limited to pathological systems (‘HLIRGs’) • EVLA, ALMA 10-100x sensitivity is critical to study normal galaxies • Low freq pathfinders: HI 21cm signatures of neutral IGM • SKA imaging of IGM z=6.4

  43. PKS 2322+1944 z=4.12: [CI] (492 GHz rest freq; Pety et al.) VLA CO2-1 PdBI => Solar Metalicity
