Abstract:
A population of primeval galaxies (PG's) should be detectable by directly imaging with two intermediate-band filters tuned to either side of the Lyman break (DeRobertis, M. M., and McCall, M. L. 1995, A.J., 109, 1947). In the figure below, the solid and short-dashed curves show the flux (left scale) as a function of redshift from a PG 0.7 Gyr old with a total stellar mass of as seen through filters with rest-frame passbands 890 ± 30 Å (‘β’) and 1010 ± 30 Å (‘ρ’), respectively, moved to redshift 5. The upper curves depict the colour β – ρ (right scale); the dotted line is for the 0.7 Gyr population, and the dot-dashed line is for a 7.5 Gyr model. A source can be identified as a PG if it can be clearly detected in the ρ filter and if it has a colour greater than +0.75 mag. Confusion with any old stellar systems at lower redshifts can be eliminated by supplementing observations with Gunn r and i. The colour condition selects Lyman break objects between redshifts 4.7 and 5.4, a range over an order of magnitude greater than is achievable through an emission line survey. The discriminatory power of the technique is not affected by internal dust.

Abstract:
In the last two decades several methods have been employed to search for the ancestors of present day galaxies undergoing their first starburst at high redshift, the so-called “primeval galaxies” (PGs). According to predictions of the Ly-α flux from the PG phase current surveys for Ly-α bright PGs should have detected 101 − 103 PGs. Yet, no really good candidate has been found. One possible explanation for this discrepancy would be the presence of dust which could strongly suppress Ly-α. In fact, models of early galaxy formation are able to produce gas to dust ratios of about 1/10 solar after some 108 years. This would suppress the emerging Ly-α flux below current detection limits. Thus, to detect a PG in its Ly-α bright phase, one has to hit exactly the redshift of their first star formation. On the other hand, the epoch of galaxy formation is likely to extend over much longer time. So when searching a finite volume of the universe (given by the depth Δz and the field ΔΩ), the protogalaxies are not simultaniously in the Ly-α bright PG phase and only a fraction of them exceed the detection limit. Our new attempt to predict the expected number of PGs takes this reduced propability into account. Further contraints of the Ly-α luminosity were derived from recent observations and theoretical work (for details see E.Thommes & K.Meisenheimer in Galaxies in the Young Universe, Eds. H.Hippelein et al., Springer-Verlag, 1995, p.242). As expected, we find that the number density of Ly-α emitting PGs is drastically reduced in comparison to previous predictions. Thus previous surveys had no realistic chance to find them. Nevertheless, our calculations also show, that the detection of Ly-α bright PGs is in the scope of present day techniques. Specifically, we predict that the Calar-Alto-Deep-Imaging-Survey (see contribution of H. Hippelein et. al., these proc.) which will search for Ly-α in an area of ≈ 0.3□° down to a limiting line flux of 3 × 10−20W/m2 should detect 10 … 100 PGs in three redshift intervals Δz = 0.1. The uncertainty accounts for our ignorance of q0 and the unknown epoch of galaxy formation.

Abstract:
Evolution of a vertical magnetic field which may have existed in the primeval galaxy is discussed based on a primordial-origin hypothesis for the bisymmetric spiral configuration of magnetic fields in spiral galaxies. The vertical field is accumulated toward the nucleus and forms a strong poloidal field, which may trigger activities like jets. Quasar jets are suggested to be the result of such strong vertical fields in the cores of primeval galaxies.

AbstractWe present the star formation histories (SFHs) of four isolated dwarf galaxies, Cetus, Tucana, LGS-3, and Phoenix, as a function of galactocentric radius. Our results suggest that beyond some distance from the center, there are no significative differences in fundamental properties of these galaxies, such as the star formation rate (SFR) or age-metallicity relation (AMR). The stellar content of this region would be composed of old (≳ 10.5 Gyr) metal-poor stars only. In the innermost regions, dwarf galaxies appear to have formed stars during time intervals which duration varies from galaxy to galaxy. This extended star formation produces the dichotomy between dwarf spheroidal (dSph) and dwarf Transition (dTr) galaxy types.

Abstract:
A recognized problem when searching for primeval galaxies at cosmological distances is a definition of a firm selection criterion (alternative to a direct but extremely time-demanding measure of z) to single out high-redshift candidates from the plethora of other more or less peculiar objects (i.e. AGN, starburst galaxies etc.) at lower distances.The case of the HST “Deep Field” (HDF) observations (Williams et al. 1996) is especially relevant in this regard as galaxies up to z = 3.2 have been detected in the field (Steidel et al. 1996).

Abstract:
AbstractCharacterising primeval galaxies entails the challenging goal of observing galaxies with modest star formation rates (SFR < 100 Mȯyr−1) and approaching the beginning of the reionisation epoch (z > 6). To date a large number of primeval galaxies have been identified thanks to deep near-infrared surveys. However, to further our understanding on the formation and evolution of such primeval objects, we must investigate their nature and physical properties through multi-band spectroscopic observations. Information on dust content, metallicity, interactions with the surrounding environment, and outflows can be obtained with ALMA observations of far-infrared (FIR) lines such as the [Cii] at 158 μm and [Oiii] at 88 μm. Here, we, thus, discuss the recent results unveiled by ALMA observations and present new [Cii] observations of BDF-3299, a star-forming galaxy at z = 7.1 showing a spatial and spectral offset between the rest-frame UV and the FIR lines emission.

Abstract:
Understanding the formation of galaxies is certainly one of the major challenges in astrophysics. Observationally, the most important insight will be provided by the detection and study of primeval galaxies. With the large telescopes and the efficient detectors available today, it seems feasible to observe those early stages of galaxy evolution directly. Despite considerable efforts with different techniques (Cowie et al. 1990; De Propris et al. 1993; Pritchet & Hartwick 1990; Thompson et al. 1995; Djorgovski et al. 1993) no primeval galaxy is found yet, in contradiction with predictions by model calculations (e.g. Baron & White 1987). What could be the reason for this lack of sucess?

Abstract:
Abstract Detection of the first stars has remained elusive so far but their presence may soon be unveiled by upcoming JWST observations. Previous studies have not investigated the entire possible range of halo masses and redshifts that may help in their detection. Motivated by the prospects of detecting galaxies up to z ∼ 20 in the JWST early data release, we quantify the contribution of Population III stars to high-redshift galaxies from 6 ≤ z ≤ 30 by employing the semianalytical model a-sloth, which self-consistently models the formation of Population III and Population II stars along with their feedback. Our results suggest that the contribution of Population III stars is the highest in low-mass halos of 107–109 M ⊙. While high-mass halos ≥1010 M ⊙ contain less than 1% Population III stars, they host galaxies with stellar masses of 109 M ⊙ as early as z ∼ 30. Interestingly, overall the apparent magnitude of Population III stars gets brighter toward higher redshift due to the higher stellar masses, but Population III–dominated galaxies are too faint to be directly detected with JWST. Our results predict JWST can detect galaxies up to z ∼ 30, which may help in constraining the initial mass function of Population III stars and will guide observers to discern the contribution of Population III stars to high-redshift galaxies.

Abstract:
Infrared extragalactic background light plays an important role in the study of the early history of the universe, especially as a probe to search for the primeval galaxies. In the near-infrared region, UV and visible light emitted from high redshift galaxies could be observable. Measurement of the sky fluctuation at 2.2 μm gives a very low upper limit. The rocket observation of the near-infrared diffuse emission reveals isotropic emission which is possibly ascribed to an extragalactic origin. The observed brightness and fluctuation are not consistent with the standard scenario of the primeval galaxies. In the far-infrared region, integrated light of dust emission of the distant galaxies forms another cosmic background radiation. IRAS and the Nagoya-Berkeley rocket experiment found a clear correlation between HI column density and far-infrared sky brightness; however, there remains an uncorrelated isotropic emission component. If we ascribe this emission to extragalactic origin, a fairly big evolution effect is required. In the submillimeter region, excess emission over the 2.74K blackbody spectrum was found, which requires the vast energy generation in the early universe.

Four topics are discussed. First, measurements of the autocorrelation function of the optical extragalactic sky background check the possibility that there is an appreciable contribution from young galaxies or from stars well outside normal galaxies. Second, large-scale fluctuations in the mass distribution are probed by the anisotropies of the X-ray and 2.7 K backgrounds. Third, scattering by plasma in young galaxies could affect the primeval anisotropy of the 2.7 K background radiation. Fourth, production of the heavy elements is expected to yield background radiation with a characteristic and perhaps detectable angular distribution.

Abstract:
Nearby spiral galaxies offer vital clues to some of the most fundamental questions about galaxy formation and evolution: What is the star formation history of the universe, past and future? When did disks form, during the final stages of a single primeval collapse, or as a continuous or episodic process? What is the evolutionary nature of the Hubble sequence, and what are the physical mechanisms that dictate the present-day Hubble type of a galaxy? Was Hubble type imprinted at birth, or can it be deterined or at least modified by infall, mergers, or secular dynamical evolution within the galaxy? These issues are not specific to spirals, of course, and much of this conference will address just these questions in a broader context. However present-day spirals offer unique advantages for studying these problems; they exhibit a broad range of dynamical and evolutionary properties, and the dynamical fragility of disks makes them excellent seismometers of galaxy interaction and merger rates at recent epochs.

Many searches have been carried out to detect emission from massive primeval hydrogen clouds at high redshift. By observing the 21 cm line it has been possible to impose strong upper limits on the mass and number of protoclusters at high redshift (Wieringa, et al. 1992). Since strong Lyα emission is expected from primeval galaxies undergoing their first burst of star formation, many attempts to detect this emission have been made, but no positive detection has been reported, imposing strong constraints on models of galaxy formation (see Djorgovski et al. 1993 for a review).

Abstract:
AbstractA common thought in the 1950s was that galaxies rotate because they are remnants of primeval currents, as in turbulence. But this idea is quite unacceptable in an expanding universe described by general relativity theory. Since we are no smarter now than in the 1950s the lesson I draw is that we do well on occasion to pause to consider whether we might be missing something. An example is the pure disk galaxies that are so common nearby and so rare in simulations. We have something to learn from this.

Abstract:
cD galaxies are the most luminous galaxies in the universe. They are characterized by a surface brightness profile that falls off more slowly with radius than most elliptical galaxies. In most respects D galaxies are a continuous extrapolation from other ellipticals: their M/L and their colors are comparable to other ellipticals, their inner parts are fitted by an r1/4 law, and they follow the same relation between L and σ. On the other hand, their luminosity is too bright to be consistent with the luminosity function of other ellipticals and they are always found at the center of a cluster of other galaxies. Being at the center of a cluster of galaxies often endows D galaxies with a very faint, very extended halo of luminosity and multiple nuclei, but these are more properly associated with the cluster than the D galaxy itself. The connection between the formation of cD galaxies and the formation of clusters remains a mystery. It is still unresolved whether cDs are a byproduct of cluster evolution, whether they formed in parallel with clusters, or whether primeval D are galaxies the seed around which clusters accreted.

Abstract:
During the last decade several deep surveys have been made with various aperture synthesis radio telescopes. At milliJansky levels important contributions were made with the WSRT 3 km array and the Cambridge One Mile Telescope. At sub-milliJansky levels surveys have been done with the VLA and the WSRT down to rms noise values of ~10 μJy.

Abstract:
AbstractYoung low-mass galaxies with extreme emission-line properties are ubiquitous at high redshift. However, a detailed characterisation of their physical properties, key for understanding cosmic reionisation and the early growth of galaxies, will be only possible with JWST and ELT observations. Rare lower-z analogues of these primeval galaxies provide us ideal laboratories to study in larger detail the complex physical mechanisms taking place in these extreme systems. In this talk, I will review key results from these high-z analogues, with an emphasis on lessons learned from deep spectroscopic observations of green pea galaxies at z ⩽ 0.3. New recent results based on high-dispersion Echelle and IFU spectroscopy of green peas will be presented. They illustrate current advantages and limitations of the chemodynamical analysis for a simultaneous study of the ionised gas kinematics, chemical enrichment and the escape of ionising photons in compact low-mass starbursts.

Abstract:
Low flux radio sources are important for a variety of reasons. In principle, a 1 mJy survey that is over 1000 times fainter than the 3CR allows us to reach objects 20 times more distant, almost literally to the edge of the universe, or to detect much less luminous sources at the same distances. We can hope to detect primeval galaxies, to check the idea that objects with redshifts z greater than 3 or 4 are optically hidden by dust, to detect new populations of radio objects, to possess pointers to distant clusters and galaxies, as well as to understand better the AGN phenomenon.
