Photometric properties of Lyα emitters at z = 4.86in the COSMOS 2 square degree field 塩谷泰広、谷口義明、長尾透(愛媛大学宇宙進化研究センター)、井手上祐子、中島亜紀、松岡健太(愛媛大学)、佐々木俊二(愛媛大学、東北大学)、村山卓(東北大学)、 COSMOS チーム ABSTRACT We present results of a survey for Lyα emitters at z =4.86 based on optical narrowband (λC=7126 Å, Δλ=73Å) and broadband (B, V, r’, i’, and z’) observations of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field using Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. We find 79 LAE candidates at z=4.86 over a contiguous survey area of 1.83 deg2, down to the Lyα line flux of 1.47x ergs s-1 cm-2. We obtain the Lyα luminosity function with a best-fit Schechter parameters of log L*= ergs s-1 and φ* = x 10-4 Mpc-3 for α=-1.5 (fixed). The two-point correlation function for our LAE sample is ξ(r) = (r/ Mpc)-1.90±0.22. In order to investigate the field-to-field variations of the properties of Lyα emitters, we divide the survey area into nine tiles of 0.5 deg x 0.5 deg each. We find that the number density varies with a factor of ~ 2 from field to field with high statistical significance. However, we find no significant field-to-field variance when we divide the field into four tiles with 0.7 deg x 0.7 deg each. We conclude that at least 0.5 deg2 survey area is required to derive averaged properties of LAEs at z ~ 5, and our survey field is wide enough to overcome the cosmic variance.

(2008) と比較したもの。 z=4.9 での数密度は z= の値より大きく z=5.7 での値に近い。 今回得られた光度関数を これまでに得られている 3 < z < 6 の光度関数と比較。 今回の結果も 3 < z < 6 で光度関数がほとんど進化していないという主張と矛盾しない。 Correlation length Mpc
