z～7 Galaxies in the HUDF: First Epoch WFC3/IR Results P.A. Oesch, R.J. Bouwens, G.D. Illingworth, C.M. Carollo, M. Franx, I. Labbé, D. Magee, M. Stiavelli, M. Trenti, and P.G. van Dokkum Terminology z: redshift HUDF: Hubble Ultra Deep Field WFC3: Wide Field Camera 3 Introduction Detailed studies of galaxies up to z ~ 6 Use Lyman break galaxies (LBG) Appear very faint (if at all) in UV filter Lyman limit being redshifted past that filter Indicate z 2.5 Introduction Less study of galaxies of z ~ 7 About 13 billion years ago Luminosity function – number per luminosity interval Not well known for those galaxies Would provide information on epoch of reionization Introduction Light bluer than Lyman limit is absorbed For the most part Lyman limit redshifted into near infrared (NIR) for z ~ 7 NIR hard to observe well Observations WFC3/IR observations in three filters H160 (F160W), J125 (F125W), and Y105 (F105W) Observations 62 orbits during August and September of 2009 See to magnitudes of 28.6-28.7 (AB) 4.7 arcmin2 This data set “allows us to generate the deepest NIR images ever seen” Source Selection Lyman Break technique – based on colors (differences between magnitudes) Source Selection (z850 ?

Detections all ~5σ J125 band doesn’t pick up dwarf stars Simulated contamination indicates that it is unlikely that there are any false positives which are actually “nearby” (z ~ 1.5) galaxies One possible supernova (excluded from further analysis) Luminosity Function for z ~ 7 General form (from Sch
