A Possible Forest of Emission Lines from Proto-galaxies
Biman Nath, David Eichler
Abstract
The possibility of detecting proto-galaxies in the UV band is pointed out, assuming that galaxy formation occured at z 5-6. It is shown that the diffuse gas in collapsing galaxy sized objects with temperatures 1060.5 K, and with a modest amount of metallicity, should copiously produce emission lines from highly ionized Iron atoms. The expected luminosity from models of galaxy formation is compared with the sensitivity of HST.
