  2. Chris Pearson : Observational Cosmology 6: Galaxy Number Counts - ISAS -2004 6.1: Why Study Source Counts Why Study Source Counts - How many galaxies are there in the Universe ? Why Study Galaxy Source Counts ? • To count the numbers of galaxies in the Universe • Numbers of galaxies • Density of galaxies and the Universe • Fainter and fainter galaxies at higher and higher redshift • To determine the Geometry of the Universe • Faint source counts depend on the geometry of the Universe • low density / cosmological constant  faster expansion  larger volumes  more galaxies • To investigate the contribution of different galaxy populations to the Universe • investigate optical mix of morphological types • local infrared - spirals • bright radio - ellipticals • X-rays - AGN • To investigate the evolution of galaxies • Compare galaxies today with galaxies in the past • Quantify and constrain the evolution in the galaxy populations • Discriminate the nature of the evolution

Chris Pearson : Observational Cosmology 6: Galaxy Number Counts - ISAS -2004 • LUMINOSITY EVOLUTION　(Galaxies in the past were brighter than today) REDSHIFT • DENSITY EVOLUTION (Galaxies in the past were more numerous than today) 6.1: Why Study Source Counts Why Study Source Counts - Evolution

  6. Chris Pearson : Observational Cosmology 6: Galaxy Number Counts - ISAS -2004 Number ; S Flux ; d L 6.2: Source Counts Derivation How many galaxies are there in the Universe Simple Euclidean Case • For flat, non expanding Universe filled with uniformly distributed galaxies of same luminosity • (A Euclidean Universe) • Galaxy number density = n • Galaxy luminosity = L • Number of galaxies to distance ( d ) = N • Nearby Galaxies generally follow this distribution • More complex when we look to greater distances • We have to consider the cosmology & galaxy evolution • Have to consider a range of galaxy types and luminosities

  8. Chris Pearson : Observational Cosmology 6: Galaxy Number Counts - ISAS -2004 6.2: Source Counts Derivation Number of galaxies, N (seen to sensitivity, S) = number density galaxies x volume (for all luminosities) Cosmology Galaxy number density (all luminosities) - Luminosity Function Volume depends on cosmology (Ho, Wo, L) Wo= 0, 1 easiest The farthest galaxies you can see depends on the sensitivity The Distance also depends on the cosmology (Ho, Wo, L) Wo= 0, 1 are the easiest.

  10. Chris Pearson : Observational Cosmology 6: Galaxy Number Counts - ISAS -2004 Power Law + Exponential (Schecter 1976) Log Gaussian (Saunders 1990) Power Law (Lawrence 1986) 6.2: Source Counts Derivation Luminosity Function

  11. Chris Pearson : Observational Cosmology 6: Galaxy Number Counts - ISAS -2004 For volume limited, non evolving sample; Co-moving number density of objects is (where 1 = probability of object being in sample) Suppose sample is incomplete (e.g. flux limited)  Some objects may drop out of the sample. Probability of the ith object being included is Pi and the are no objects with Pi=0. Then the co-moving number density in an OBSERVED sample of Nobsobjects is; Therefore, for a flux limited sample; Assuming the population is non-evolving and the flux is monotomic function of z, The probability Pi is given by 6.2: Source Counts Derivation Calculation of Luminosity Function (1/Vmax method) In 2-D In 3-D Pi= probability of object staying in sample such that if the probability of dropping out is 1/2 then we require 2x the weight This will be an unbiased estimator of the underlying value Vmax,I= volume enclosed at maximum redshift zmax,i at which the ith object can be observed. Vlimit= arbitrary large volume into which the flux limited sample is embedded

  13. Chris Pearson : Observational Cosmology 6: Galaxy Number Counts - ISAS -2004 Flux at no related to Luminosity at no by z K-CORRECTION K-CORRECTION - Observed SED True SED 6.2: Source Counts Derivation Want compare luminosities at the same wavelengths  K-Correction K-Correction • Due to redshift effect s, the true galaxy SED and that seen from Earth are different • Need to know about emission from sources at one single wavelength but we have ensemble le = lo/ (1+z) • Need a CORRECTION This correction is called the K-CORRECTION • The significance of the correction depends on the shape of the galaxy SED Observed flux at observed frequency, no, (c=nl) Corresponding to the luminosity at ne The K-Correction depends on the assumed Spectral Energy Distribution (SED)

  14. Chris Pearson : Observational Cosmology 6: Galaxy Number Counts - ISAS -2004 Evolution: increases z(L,S) 6.2: Source Counts Derivation Evolution • LUMINOSITY EVOLUTION • Galaxies in the past were more luminous • DENSITY EVOLUTION • Galaxies in the past were more numerous Parameterize luminosity evolution ~ f(z) Parameterize density evolution ~ g(z)

  16. Chris Pearson : Observational Cosmology 6: Galaxy Number Counts - ISAS -2004 zmax Vmax(zmax) probability of galaxy detected in volume V, is z dP= probability in rangeV -V+dV V(z) galaxies more “numerous” in past Real Surveys galaxies less “numerous” in past 6.2: Source Counts Derivation V/Vmax Test for Evolution For a galaxy with luminosity, L, in a redshift survey there is a maximum volume within which the object can be detected, Vmax(zmax) Compare with volume in which galaxy was actually detected: V(z), 0 < V(z) < Vmax If there was no change in co-moving number density independent ofVV/Vmax uniformly distributed between 0 - 1 <V/Vmax> = 0.5 <V/Vmax>significantly deviates from 0.5 evolution
