Gravitational lensing significantly influences our observations of very high-redshift galaxies. Recent findings by researchers Stuart Wyithe, Haojing Yan, Rogier Windhorst, and Shude Mao reveal that lensing by individual foreground galaxies amplifies the visibility of distant galaxies, contributing to the concentration of high-redshift galaxies in their vicinity. This phenomenon, previously underestimated, highlights the abundance of faint galaxies existing at redshifts of approximately 8 to 10. Understanding these distributions is vital for studying galaxy formation in the early universe.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. Gravitational Lensing Distorts Counts of Very High Redshift Galaxies • Stuart Wyithe (Univ. Melbourne), Haojing Yan (Ohio State Univ.), Rogier Windhorst (Arizona State Unv.), Shude Mao (Univ. Manchester & NAOC, China) • (Based on Publication in Nature, Jan 12, 2011) • AAS 217th Meeting, Seattle, WA • January 12, 2011

  2. Gravitational Lensing Is Well Known (1990) (1996) (2005) Lensing of background objects by foreground galaxy clusters Lensing of background objects by individual foreground galaxies

  3. Implication for High-redshift Studies Yet to Be Fully Explored • Gravitational lensing by individual foreground galaxies amplifies background high-redshift galaxies • It happens more often than we used to think • The effect manifests itself by concentration of high-redshift galaxies around foreground galaxies Credit: NASA, ESA, Z. Levay and A. Feild (STScI)

  4. High Lensing Rate at Very High Redshifts: Initial Evidence Hubble Ultra Deep Field Image, Optical + IR

  5. About 20% of candidate galaxies at redshifts ~ 8 - 10 are found to be very close to foreground galaxies, consistent with our prediction

  6. Y-band “dropouts”: candidate galaxies at redshifts ~ 8 J-band “dropouts”: candidate galaxies at redshifts ~ 10 Red Band Blue Band

  7. Why This Is Important • Bright distribution of galaxies at very high redshifts is crucial to our understanding of how the universe was forming galaxies in its infancy • High incidence of lensing implies that there are many very faint galaxies at these very high redshifts
