  1. Intergalactic transmission and its impact on the Lyman a line Peter Laursen Potsdam, 2011 Oskar Klein Centre | Inst. för Astronomi | Stockholms Universitet www.dark-cosmology.dk/~pela

  2. Lyman a modeling Theoretically Osterbrock (1962) Adams (1972) Harrington (1973) Neufeld (1990, 1991) Loeb & Rybicky (1999) Dijkstra+ (2006) Numerically Auer (1965) Avery & House (1968) Loeb & Rybicky (1999) Ahn et al.

  3. Standard approach • Ignore • Remove blue half • Reduce full line by some factor e–<t>

  4. Numerical approach Cosmological N-body+hydro simulation (SPH, Sommer-Larsen et al. 2003, 2006) + ionizing UV RT (Razoumov & Sommer-Larsen 2006, 2007) + hi-res resimulations of interesting regions + galactic Monte Carlo Ly RT with dust + IGM RT

  5. Galactic RT – MOCALATA* Each cell: nHI, nHII, T, vbulk, LLya, Zi ⇒nd * PL et al. 2009, ApJ, 696, 853 and 2009, ApJ, 704, 1640

  6. Galactic RT – MOCALATA* No scattering With scattering Including dust * PL et al. 2009, ApJ, 696, 853 and 2009, ApJ, 704, 1640

  7. Galactic RT – MOCALATA* * PL et al. 2009, ApJ, 696, 853 and 2009, ApJ, 704, 1640

  8. Intergalactic RT – IGMTRANSFER* *PL et al. 2011, ApJ, 728, 52; the code can be downloaded fromwww.dark-cosmology.dk/~pela/IGMtransfer.html

  9. Intergalactic RT – IGMTRANSFER* *PL et al. 2011, ApJ, 728, 52; the code can be downloaded fromwww.dark-cosmology.dk/~pela/IGMtransfer.html

  10. Intergalactic RT – IGMTRANSFER* *PL et al. 2011, ApJ, 728, 52; the code can be downloaded fromwww.dark-cosmology.dk/~pela/IGMtransfer.html

  11. Intergalactic RT – IGMTRANSFER* z = 3.5 *PL et al. 2011, ApJ, 728, 52; the code can be downloaded fromwww.dark-cosmology.dk/~pela/IGMtransfer.html

  12. Intergalactic RT – IGMTRANSFER* z = 5.8 *PL et al. 2011, ApJ, 728, 52; the code can be downloaded fromwww.dark-cosmology.dk/~pela/IGMtransfer.html

  13. Intergalactic RT – IGMTRANSFER* z = 6.5 *PL et al. 2011, ApJ, 728, 52; the code can be downloaded fromwww.dark-cosmology.dk/~pela/IGMtransfer.html

  14. Transmission function

  15. The origin of the dip Velocity field Density field

  16. Impact on the Lya profile z = 3.5 Transmission function Observed spectrum Spectrum escaping galaxy

  17. Impact on the Lya profile z = 3.5

  18. Impact on the Lya profile z = 5.8

  19. Impact on the Lya profile z = 6.5

  20. Transmitted fraction z = 3.5

  21. Transmitted fraction z = 5.8

  22. Transmitted fraction z = 6.5

  23. Alternative to outflow model? z = 3 – 4 ? Verhamme et al. 2008, A&A, 491, 89

  24. Probing the very first galaxies z = 8.8 Ultra-VISTA PIs Jim Dunlop, Marijn Franx, Johan Fynbo, & Olivier LeFèvre

  25. Probing the very first galaxies z = 8.8 Compare with Dijkstra & Wyithe 2010, MNRAS, 408, 352: ~5%

  26. Probing the Epoch of Reionization Songaila 2004, ApJ, 127, 2598 43

  27. Probing the Epoch of Reionization 44

  28. Summary • • IGM absorption may explain at least some of the asymmetric Lyprofiles Reionization may have initiated earlier than probed by WMAP • Transmitted fractions are 0.77+17 at z = 3.5 –34 0.26+13 at z = 5.8 –18 0.20+12 at z = 6.5 –18 0.05+?? at z = 8.8 –??
