FastSoundA BAO Survey in NIR using Subaru/FMOS 戸谷 友則 TOTANI, Tomonori (Kyoto University, Dept. Astronomy) Spectroscopy in Cosmology and Galaxy Evolution 2005-2015 Granada, Spain 2007, Oct 3-5
Specification of FMOS • 400 fibres in circular FOV (30’ Φ) • Each fiber (1.25”) covers 1’ radius FOV • wavelength coverage: 0.9um - 1.8um • fully covered in a low resolution mode • Spectral resolution • Low resolution mode: R=500 • High resolution mode: R=2200 • Limiting magnitude (1 hr, S/N=5) • J ~ 22.0 • H ~ 20.0 • Line ~ 6 x 10-17 erg/s/cm2 (Latest number from M. Tamura) • OH airglow suppression system • Engineering first light: 2008 Jan
Quick Look of FastSound • BAO search by Subaru/FMOS with NIR spectroscopy • Hα emitting galaxies、z~0.5-1.7 • planned parameters (final): • ~600,000 galaxies • ~300 deg2 • O(100) Subaru nights • The name stands for ... • FAST: FMOS 暗黒振動探査 (FMOS Ankoku Shindou Tansa = FMOS dark oscillation survey) • SOUND: Subaru Observation Understanding Nature of Dark Energy • Status: • Survey design and plan now under study • Recognized as important the potential largest program in the FMOS team • final survey design by using real FMOS data (next year) • Proposal to be submitted to Subaru after that
Unique/Good Points of FastSound • BAO survey in NIR with a 8m telescope • Unique redshift range by Hα in NIR (z~0.5-1.7) • redshift desert of 1.3 < z < 2.5 in optical spectroscopy • 0.5 < z < 1.3 by [O II] • 2.5 < z < 3.5 by Lyα • Targeting the first detection of BAO at z>1 by galaxy surveys • would remain as important BAO data even in WFMOS era • Hα is a better tracer of SFR than [OII] or Lyα • Photometric target selection likely easier • Instrument available soon!
BAO Search by FMOS. 1 • Required Survey Area to achieve V~ 1Gpc3 • 300 deg2 ⇔ ~ 1 Gpc3 for z~1-1.5 • 1500 pointings required for FMOS-FOV (0.2 deg2) • Required number of galaxies • ~20,000 galaxies per deg2 and unit z for the cosmic variance to dominate shot noise (nP >~ 1) • ~1,800,000 galaxies in 300 deg2 • 1,200 galaxies for 0.2 deg2 (FMOS-FOV) and Δz=0.3 • should be compared the 400 fibers of FMOS
BAO Search by FMOS. 2 • Necessary number of nights: ~O(100) • 1500 (FOVs) / 10 (FOVs/night) = 150 nights • Sensitivity to the Hα Flux: • FMOS S/N=5 (1hr) F(Hα) ~ 6 x 10-17 erg/s/cm2 • L(Hα) = 9.1 x 1041 erg/s • galaxy with SFR = 6.9 Msun/yr @ z=1.5
Effective Volume:Comparison with Other Surveys BAO peaks ~200 nights ~20 nights Eisenstein+ ‘05 σP/P~(4πk2dk Veff)-1/2

Key Questions • Do we have enough number density of galaxies with sufficiently strong Hα flux? • Can we select them efficiently by photometric information? • Do we have sufficient photometric data, or can we obtain them in the near future?
Some Tests for Target Selections • Estimate Hα flux from photo-z by using SDF/SXDF data (~1deg2) • BVRizJK+Spitzer • There are sufficent number of Hα bright galaxies at z<1.4 • z>1.5 galaxies may not be sufficient enough FMOS line sensitivity (1hr, SN=5)
A Candidate Imaging Catalog for Target Selection:CFHT-Wide Synoptic Survey -almost correct area -deep enough for Fast Sound -five band photometries for target selection
Scientific Goals • Stage 1: • ~50 nights (not very difficult to get as a Subaru large program) • may not clearly detect BAO, but may see some evidence • precise measurement of P(k) at z~1 • P(k) measurement is important for cosmological parameters, even without BAO • Use P(k) shape to derive cosmological constraints (c.f. WMAP+2dF, WMAP+SDSS, …) • z~1 is important for dark energy • Stage 2: • ~a few hundreds nights • clear detection of BAO • more robust constraint on dark energy than Stage 1 • Ancillary sciences: • Properties of z~1 star formation galaxies • A small fraction of fibers for spectroscopic survey of rare objects
The Most Crucial Question • Can we get such a large observing time of Subaru?
The Future of Subaru Large Programs • So far: • Maximum 20 nights for open use • A new opportunity: The Subaru Strategic Observation Programs • Two categories • A historical survey program • A systematic project with a clear scientific objective • <~60 nights / yr, up to ~5 yrs maximally 300 nights • Responding to the commission of a new instrument • the first call for proposal (for HiCiao+AO) now under review process • “Subaru Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks with HICIAO/AO188”, PI: M. Tamura • Next call will be for FMOS!
The Roadmap certainly • Stage 0: pilot survey using a fraction of FMOS GTO (2008) • test of target selection criteria • optimization of the survey parameters • formal proposal to Subaru for a large program • Stage 1: using ~50 nights, ~60 deg2 (2009-?) • precise measurement of P(k) at z~1 • hopefully evidence for BAO • Stage 2: complete survey of 170 deg2 CFTHLS-W field • a good chance for detecting BAO • Stage 3: ultimate >300 deg2 survey • clear detection of BAO • but needs another source of imaging catalog for target selection likely possibly Who knows!?

Input Imaging Surveys • UKIDSS Large Area Survey • 4000 deg2 • K < 18.4 • VISTA & VST • Deep • 100 deg2 • K<21.0 • Wide • 3000 deg2 • K<19.5 • plan a special survey of a few hundreds deg2 for FMOS BAO search? • NIRサーベイは必ずしも必要ないかもしれない。可視サーベイ? From S. Warren
