LyLyαααααααα blobs: unknowns to blobs: unknowns to be answeredbe answered

• Ionization mechanism. Likely a mixed bag of:

– Photoionization due to SF regions (cannot explain 30%)

– Photoionization produced by AGN (seems not general)

– Photoionization by diffuse UV background (too weak)

– Shock heating due to starburst driven superwinds

– Cooling radiation from gas accreting over DM haloes

• When LABs began to form? When disappear? To form what?

HORUS outlineHORUS outline

• Scientific strategy: − Detecting LAEs/LABS using OSIRIS blue TF

− 3 × 10−18 erg/cm2/s/arcsec2 at S/N=3

− Observing “optical” emission lines in the NIR (EMIR MOS or CIRCE)

• Products (assuming same number at each z as of z = 3.1):− 45 LABs (the brightest 10% could be observed in GTC NIR spectroscopy)

− 436 LAEs

− 75 DLAs

• Then: ~529 objects (LABs, LAEs and DLAs) plus [OII] & [OIII] outliers

• Science:− LAEs LF vs z (exploring the “knee” between GALEX at 0.3 and 2.0)

− LABs at different z (looking for start and end of its formation)

− LAEs and LABs ionized gas properties via NIR spectroscopy

⋅ Ionization mechanism via Lyα/Hα

⋅ SFR

⋅ Metallicities via [NII]/Hα
