Abstract
AbstractIn this IAU symposium, we present results of our recent paper, Hashimoto et al. (2018a) focusing on its spectral energy distribution modeling. We present spectroscopic observations of MACS1149-JD1, a gravitationally lensed galaxy originally discovered by Zheng et al. (2012) via the dropout technique. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), we detect an emission line of doubly ionized oxygen, [Oiii] 88 μm, at a redshift of 9.1096±0.0006. This precisely determined redshift indicates that the red rest-frame optical colour observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope arises from a dominant stellar component that formed about 250 million years after the Big Bang, corresponding to a redshift of about 15. MACS1149-JD1 clearly demonstrates the importance and power of spectral energy distribution modeling to understand the earliest star formation history of the Universe.
