    (2021) Jolly, Jean-Baptiste; Knudsen, Kirsten; Laporte, Nicolas; Richard, Johan; Fujimoto, Seiji; Kohno, Kotaro; Ao, Yiping; Bauer, Franz E.; Egami, Eiichi; Espada, Daniel; Dessauges-Zavadsky, Miroslava; Magdis, Georgios; Schaerer, Daniel; Sun, Fengwu; Valentino, Francesco; Wang, Wei-Hao; Zitrin, Adi
    Context. The properties of galaxies at redshift z>6 hold the key to our understanding of the early stages of galaxy evolution and can potentially identify the sources of the ultraviolet radiation that give rise to the epoch of reionisation. The far-infrared cooling line of [C II] at 158 mu m is known to be bright and correlate with the star formation rate (SFR) of low-redshift galaxies, and hence is also suggested to be an important tracer of star formation and interstellar medium properties for very high-redshift galaxies.

    (2022) Sun, Fengwu; Egami, Eiichi; Fujimoto, Seiji; Rawle, Timothy; Bauer, Franz E.; Kohno, Kotaro; Smail, Ian; Perez-Gonzalez, Pablo G.; Ao, Yiping; Chapman, Scott C.; Combes, Francoise; Dessauges-Zavadsky, Miroslava; Espada, Daniel; Gonzalez-Lopez, Jorge; Koekemoer, Anton M.; Kokorev, Vasily; Lee, Minju M.; Morokuma-Matsui, Kana; Munoz Arancibia, Alejandra M.; Oguri, Masamune; Pello, Roser; Ueda, Yoshihiro; Uematsu, Ryosuke; Valentino, Francesco; van der Werf, Paul; Walth, Gregory L.; Zemcov, Michael; Zitrin, Adi
    We present an ALMA-Herschel joint analysis of sources detected by the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS) at 1.15 mm. Herschel/PACS and SPIRE data at 100-500 mu m are deblended for 180 ALMA sources in 33 lensing cluster fields that are detected either securely (141 sources; in our main sample) or tentatively at S/N >= 4 with cross-matched HST/Spitzer counterparts, down to a delensed 1.15 mm flux density of similar to 0.02 mJy. We performed far-infrared spectral energy distribution modeling and derived the physical properties of dusty star formation for 125 sources (109 independently) that are detected at >2 sigma in at least one Herschel band. A total of 27 secure ALCS sources are not detected in any Herschel bands, including 17 optical/near-IR-dark sources that likely reside at z = 4.2 +/- 1.2. The 16th, 50th, and 84th percentiles of the redshift distribution are 1.15, 2.08, and 3.59, respectively, for ALCS sources in the main sample, suggesting an increasing fraction of z similar or equal to 1 - 2 galaxies among fainter millimeter sources (f(1150) similar to 0.1 mJy). With a median lensing magnification factor of mu = 2.6(-0.8)(+2.6), ALCS sources in the main sample exhibit a median intrinsic star formation rate of 94(-54)(+84) M-circle dot yr(-1), lower than that of conventional submillimeter galaxies at similar redshifts by a factor of similar to 3. Our study suggests weak or no redshift evolution of dust temperature with L-IR < 10(12) L-circle dot galaxies within our sample at z similar or equal to 0 - 2. At L-IR > 10(12) L-circle dot, the dust temperatures show no evolution across z similar or equal to 1-4 while being lower than those in the local universe. For the highest-redshift source in our sample (z = 6.07), we can rule out an extreme dust temperature (>80 K) that was reported for MACS0416 Y1 at z = 8.31.

    ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey: Bright [C ii] 158 μm Lines from a Multiply Imaged Sub-L* Galaxy at z=6.0719
    (2021) Fujimoto, Seiji; Oguri, Masamune; Brammer, Gabriel; Yoshimura, Yuki; Laporte, Nicolas; Gonzalez-Lopez, Jorge; Caminha, Gabriel B.; Kohno, Kotaro; Zitrin, Adi; Richard, Johan; Ouchi, Masami; Bauer, Franz E.; Smail, Ian; Hatsukade, Bunyo; Ono, Yoshiaki; Kokorev, Vasily; Umehata, Hideki; Schaerer, Daniel; Knudsen, Kirsten; Sun, Fengwu; Magdis, Georgios; Valentino, Francesco; Ao, Yiping; Toft, Sune; Dessauges-Zavadsky, Miroslava; Shimasaku, Kazuhiro; Caputi, Karina; Kusakabe, Haruka; Morokuma-Matsui, Kana; Shotaro, Kikuchihara; Egami, Eiichi; Lee, Minju M.; Rawle, Timothy; Espada, Daniel
    We present bright [C ii] 158 mu m line detections from a strongly magnified and multiply imaged (mu similar to 20-160) sub-L* (MUV=-19.75-0.44+0.55) Lyman-break galaxy (LBG) at z = 6.0719 +/- 0.0004, drawn from the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS). Emission lines are identified at 268.7 GHz at >= 8 sigma exactly at the positions of two multiple images of the LBG, behind the massive galaxy cluster RXCJ0600-2007. Our lens models, updated with the latest spectroscopy from VLT/MUSE, indicate that a sub region of the LBG crosses the caustic, and is lensed into a long (similar to 6 '') arc with a local magnification of mu similar to 160, for which the [C ii] line is also significantly detected. The source plane reconstruction resolves the interstellar medium (ISM) structure, showing that the [C ii] line is co-spatial with the rest-frame UV continuum at a scale of similar to 300 pc. The [C ii] line properties suggest that the LBG is a rotation-dominated system, whose velocity gradient explains a slight difference in redshifts between the whole LBG and its sub-region. The star formation rate (SFR)-L-[CII] relations, for whole and sub-regions of the LBG, are consistent with those of local galaxies. We evaluate the lower limit of the faint-end of the [C ii] luminosity function at z = 6, finding it to be consistent with predictions from semi-analytical models and from the local SFR-L-[CII] relation with a SFR function at z = 6. These results imply that the local SFR-L-[CII] relation is universal for a wide range of scales, including the spatially resolved ISM, the whole region of the galaxy, and the cosmic scale, even in the epoch of reionization.

    Extensive Lensing Survey of Optical and Near-infrared Dark Objects (El Sonido): HST H-faint Galaxies behind 101 Lensing Clusters
    (2021) Sun, Fengwu; Egami, Eiichi; Perez-Gonzalez, Pablo G.; Smail, Ian; Caputi, Karina I.; Bauer, Franz E.; Rawle, Timothy D.; Fujimoto, Seiji; Kohno, Kotaro; Dudzeviciute, Ugne; Atek, Hakim; Bianconi, Matteo; Chapman, Scott C.; Combes, Francoise; Jauzac, Mathilde; Jolly, Jean-Baptiste; Koekemoer, Anton M.; Magdis, Georgios E.; Rodighiero, Giulia; Rujopakarn, Wiphu; Schaerer, Daniel; Steinhardt, Charles L.; Van der Werf, Paul; Walth, Gregory L.; Weaver, John R.
    We present a Spitzer/IRAC survey of H-faint (H-160 greater than or similar to 26.4, < 5 sigma) sources in 101 lensing cluster fields. Across a CANDELS/Wide-like survey area of similar to 648 arcmin(2) (effectively similar to 221 arcmin(2) in the source plane), we have securely discovered 53 sources in the IRAC Channel-2 band (CH2, 4.5 mu m; median CH2 = 22.46 +/- 0.11 AB mag) that lack robust HST/WFC3-IR F160W counterparts. The most remarkable source in our sample, namely ES-009 in the field of Abell 2813, is the brightest H-faint galaxy at 4.5 mu m known so far (CH2 = 20.48 +/- 0.03 AB mag). We show that the H-faint sources in our sample are massive (median M-star = 10 10.3 +/- 0.3 M-circle dot, star-forming (median star formation rate =1001 M-circle dot yr(-1)), and dust-obscured (A(v) = 2.6 +/- 0.3) galaxies around a median photometric redshift of z = 3.9 +/- 0.4. The stellar continua of 14 H-faint galaxies can be resolved in the CH2 band, suggesting a median circularized effective radius (R-e,R-circ; lensing corrected) of 1.9 +/- 0.2 kpc and <1.5 kpc for the resolved and whole samples, respectively. This is consistent with the sizes of massive unobscured galaxies at z similar to 4, indicating that H-faint galaxies represent the dusty tail of the distribution of a wider galaxy population. Comparing with the ALMA dust continuum sizes of similar galaxies reported previously, we conclude that the heavy dust obscuration in H-faint galaxies is related to the compactness of both stellar and dust continua (R-e,R-circ similar to 1 kpc). These H-faint galaxies make up 161 3 % of the galaxies in the stellar-mass range of 10(10) - 10(11.2) M-circle dot at z = 3 similar to 5, contributing to 8(-4)(+8)% of the cosmic star formation rate density in this epoch and likely tracing the early phase of massive galaxy formation.

    The Identification of a Dusty Multiarm Spiral Galaxy at z =3.06 with JWST and ALMA
    (2023) Wu, Yunjing; Cai, Zheng; Sun, Fengwu; Bian, Fuyan; Lin, Xiaojing; Li, Zihao; Li, Mingyu; Bauer, Franz E.; Egami, Eiichi; Fan, Xiaohui; Gonzalez-Lopez, Jorge; Li, Jianan; Wang, Feige; Yang, Jinyi; Zhang, Shiwu; Zou, Siwei
    Spiral arms serve crucial purposes in star formation and galaxy evolution. In this paper, we report the identification of "A2744-DSG-z3," a dusty, multiarm spiral galaxy at z = 3.059 using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRISS imaging and grism spectroscopy. A2744-DSG-z3 was discovered as a gravitationally lensed submillimeter galaxy with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). This is the most distant stellar spiral structure seen thus far, consistent with cosmological simulations that suggest z approximate to 3 as the epoch when spirals emerge. Thanks to the gravitational lensing and excellent spatial resolution of JWST, the spiral arms are resolved with a spatial resolution of approximate to 290 pc. Based on spectral energy distribution fitting, the spiral galaxy has a delensed star formation rate of 85 +/- 30 M (circle dot) yr(-1), and a stellar mass of approximate to 10(10.6) M (circle dot), indicating that A2744-DSG-z3 is a main-sequence galaxy. After fitting the spiral arms, we find a stellar effective radius (R (e,star)) of 5.0 +/- 1.5 kpc. Combining with ALMA measurements, we find that the effective radii ratio between dust and stars is approximate to 0.4, similar to those of massive star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at z similar to 2, indicating a compact dusty core in A2744-DSG-z3. Moreover, this galaxy appears to be living in a group environment: including A2744-DSG-z3, at least three galaxies at z = 3.05-3.06 are spectroscopically confirmed by JWST/NIRISS and ALMA, residing within a lensing-corrected projected scale of approximate to 70 kpc. This, along with the asymmetric brightness profile, further suggests that the spiral arms may be triggered by minor-merger events at z greater than or similar to 3.
