1. What Is “Known” about Galaxy Dust?
Dust Extinction in the Milky Way Optical ( ~ 0. 5 m) Lund Observatory Scattering + Absorption (= Extinction) of stellar light by dust grains
Extinction Curve Extinction (absorption+scattering) as a function of i: grain species (silicate, graphite) Mathis et al. (1977) optical UV a 2 Q (a): grain cross section Grain size distribution Ndust(a) ∝ a with 0. 005 m < a < 0. 25 m (1) Only applicable for very nearby galaxies. (2) Evidently ALMA bands cannot do this.
Milky Way in Far Infrared Thermal emission from dust COBE 140 m
Properties of Far-Infrared (FIR) Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) Excess by very small grains (VSGs) Intensity 140 m Large grains (LGs) in radiative equilibrium with the interstellar radiation field FIR Wavelength ( m) sub-mm Désert et al. (1990)
Merits/Demerits of FIR Submm (1) SED is simple: I = C B (Tdust) (2) (+) a few wavelengths are enough to observe (-) very limited information on dust material ( ) (1) (2) Depends on Tdust (2) (+) good tracer of the interstellar radiation field (star formation activity) (3) (-) a single wavelength observation is not enough (⇒ collaboration with AKARI, Spitzer, Herschel) (3) grain size << in FIR-submm ⇒ mass absorption coefficient is independent of grain size (-) no information for the grain size (+) good tracer of grain amount
Dust in Cosmological Context Nucleosythesis C, N, O, …, Fe in the Universe H, He, Li Metals (→ solid = dust) t Dust already existed at z ~ 6 (Bertoldi et al. 2003). Beginning of Metal (dust) Production NASA Grasp of “primeval galaxies” in the Universe = Understanding of the initial metal/dust enrichment
Sub-mm for High-z Dust ALMA bands are suitable for high redshift. Detection limits: 100 arcmin 2 survey with 500 h (Y. Tamura) Tdust = 42 K LIR = 1. 4 × 1012 L 850 m
2. Dust Enrichment (Especially at High-z) The dust enrichment in the local Universe is already complicated (formation from supernovae, AGBs, . . . , growth in interstellar clouds, destruction by shocks, etc. ) High-redshift (z > 5) is simpler (formation/destruction by supernovae is dominated)!
Ly Emitter One of the young populations found at the highest z. Iye et al. (2006) Observational indication of dust E(B V) = 0. 035 0. 32 (Finkelstein et al. 2009) 0. 025 0. 3 (Pirzkal et al. 2007) Kashikawa et al. (2006)
Possible to Detect Early Dust Enrichment in the Universe? (1) Modeling of dust enrichment in LAEs. (2) Estimate of the FIR/sub-mm flux from a LAE. (3) Detectability by ALMA. Detectability of the first dust enrichment in the Universe
Theoretical Framework Dayal, Hirashita, & Ferrara (2009) • Cosmological SPH simulation (75 h-1 Mpc)3 ⇔ 2000 arcmin 2 • Dust enrichment and destruction by supernovae to obtain Mdust for each galaxy. GADGET homepage (Springel 2005)
LIR Estimation for Each Galaxy Optical depth of dust for stellar UV light: UV = 3 dust/(4 as) dust = Mdust/( R 2) Escape fraction of UV continuum Dust size fc = [1 exp(- UV)]/ UV a = 0. 05 m FIR luminosity Material density LFIR = (1 fc)LUV 0 s = 2. 3 g/cm 3 Dust temperature and SED L = 4 Mdust B (Tdust) FIR (sub-mm) flux f = (1 + z)L (1 + z)/(4 d. L 2)
ALMA Observation Strategy Dayal, Hirashita, & Ferrara (2010) Blue: 850 m Green: 1. 4 mm 850 m is the most suitable. Red: 3 mm lines: detection limits with 1 hour integration (full ALMA) Early dust formation by stars (supernovae) can be quantified.
3. More Detailed Look (Low-z)
Combination with FIR I = C B (Tdust) 60 m / 100 m flux ratio FIR data by AKARI, Spitzer, and Herschel help to estimate Tdust. high dust temperature Large range of dust temperature traced in FIR. 140 m / 100 m flux ratio Hirashita & Ichikawa (2009)
“Embedded” Cold Dust Shielded from Stellar Radiation Hirashita & Ichikawa (2009) increase of cold dust (1) UV↑ (shield)⇒ cold dust↑ (2) radiation field↑⇒ Tdust↓ Sub-mm can distinguish the difference.
4. Summary I: Early Cosmic Dust Enrichment (1) Early production of dust by stars a. How much dust forms in stars? b. Prediction by nucleation theory (e. g. , Nozawa et al. 2003) is correct? (2) How fast? (⇒ Evolution of dust optical depth ⇒ reionization) (3) Connection with the planet formation? What should theory do? l Predict as many (global) quantities which dust concerns. ex. reionization, molecular hydrogen abundance, luminosity function from UV to FIR
II: Detailed Look of Nearby Galaxies (1) Shielded (embedded) dust a. Physical condition of dust grains in star-forming galaxies (especially the optical depth) b. Geometry of dust distribution (2) (silicate/graphite ~ 2; some amorphous ~ 1 1. 5) (3) Combination with AKARI, Spitzer, and Herschel is crucial.
