Data pubblicazione: | 2016 | Rivista: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS | Numero: | 823 | Fascicolo: | 1 | Da pagina:: | L14 | Abstract: | We report the detection of Lyα emission at ∼9538 Å in the Keck/DEIMOS and Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 G102 grism data from a triply imaged galaxy at z=6.846+/- 0.001 behind galaxy cluster MACS J2129.4-0741. Combining the emission line wavelength with broadband photometry, line ratio upper limits, and lens modeling, we rule out the scenario that this emission line is [O II] at z = 1.57. After accounting for magnification, we calculate the weighted average of the intrinsic Lyα luminosity to be ∼ 1.3× {10}<SUP>42</SUP> {erg} {{{s}}}<SUP>-1</SUP> and Lyα equivalent width to be 74 ± 15 Å. Its intrinsic UV absolute magnitude at 1600 Å is -18.6 ± 0.2 mag and stellar mass (1.5+/- 0.3)× {10}<SUP>7</SUP>\quad {M}<SUB>☉ </SUB>, making it one of the faintest (intrinsic {L}<SUB>{UV</SUB>}∼ 0.14 {L}<SUB>{UV</SUB>}<SUP>\ast </SUP>) galaxies with Lyα detection at z∼ 7 to date. Its stellar mass is in the typical range for the galaxies thought to dominate the reionization photon budget at z≳ 7; the inferred Lyα escape fraction is high (≳ 10%), which could be common for sub-L* z≳ 7 galaxies with Lyα emission. This galaxy offers a glimpse of the galaxy population that is thought to drive reionization, and it shows that gravitational lensing is an important avenue for probing the sub-L* galaxy population. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29667 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8205/823/1/L14 | ISSN: | 2041-8205 | DOI: | 10.3847/2041-8205/823/1/L14 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016ApJ...823L..14H | Fulltext: | open |
