A GEOMETRICALLY SUPPORTED z ∼ 10 CANDIDATE MULTIPLY IMAGED BY THE HUBBLE FRONTIER FIELDS CLUSTER A2744

Abstract: The deflection angles of lensed sources increase with their distance behind a given lens. We utilize this geometric effect to corroborate the z phot 9.8 photometric redshift estimate of a faint near-IR dropout, triply imaged by the massive galaxy cluster A2744 in deep Hubble Frontier Fields images. The multiple images of this source follow the same symmetry as other nearby sets of multiple images that bracket the critical curves and have well-defined redshifts (up to z spec 3.6), but with larger deflection ang… Show more

“…One of them, UDFj-39546284, has already been found to be possibly an EELG at redshift ∼2 (Brammer et al 2013;Capak et al 2013). More candidates are found in the ongoing Hubble Frontier Fields Zitrin et al 2014;Ishigaki et al 2014). As there are not enough spectral observations to confirm the redshifts, properly considering the contamination of EELGs is quite necessary for these samples.…”

“…Interestingly, despite 2 magnitudes of magnification and the great depth of this imaging, no galaxy has yet been discovered beyond the most distant galaxies already known at z ∼ 10 (Coe et al 2013;Zitrin et al 2014;Zheng et al 2014;Oesch et al 2014;Coe, Bradley & Zitrin 2015;Ishigaki et al 2015). This difficulty is not due to the filter choice, which in principle can access Lymanbreak galaxies out to z 12.0.…”

“…To date, the HFF program has revealed unprecedented numbers of multiply lensed galaxies reaching a limit of z 9.6 (Zitrin et al 2014). Interestingly, despite 2 magnitudes of magnification and the great depth of this imaging, no galaxy has yet been discovered beyond the most distant galaxies already known at z ∼ 10 (Coe et al 2013;Zitrin et al 2014;Zheng et al 2014;Oesch et al 2014;Coe, Bradley & Zitrin 2015;Ishigaki et al 2015).…”

“…To date, a large number of primeval galaxies have been identified thanks to the Lyman Break technique (e.g. McLure et al 2013;Bradley et al 2014;Finkelstein et al 2015;Schmidt et al 2014;Bouwens et al 2015Bouwens et al , 2016Oesch et al 2014Oesch et al , 2015Zitrin et al 2014;Calvi et al 2016;Infante et al 2015;Ishigaki et al 2015;Kawamata et al 2016;McLeod et al 2015). 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.…”
