Abstract

We present the results of our ultra-deep Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of z -dropout galaxies in the Subaru Deep Field and Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey's northern field. For 3 out of 11 objects, we detect an emission line at ∼1 μm with a signal-to-noise ratio of ∼10. The lines show asymmetric profiles with high weighted skewness values, consistent with being Lyα, yielding redshifts of z = 7.213, 6.965, and 6.844. Specifically, we confirm the z = 7.213 object in two independent DEIMOS runs with different spectroscopic configurations. The z = 6.965 object is a known Lyα emitter, IOK-1, for which our improved spectrum at a higher resolution yields a robust skewness measurement. The three z -dropouts have Lyα fluxes of 3 × 10 −17 erg s −1 cm −2 and rest-frame equivalent widths EW Lyα 0 = 33–43 Å. Based on the largest spectroscopic sample of 43 z -dropouts, which is the combination of our and previous data, we find that the fraction of Lyα-emitting galaxies (EW Lyα 0 > 25 Å) is low at z ∼ 7; 17% ± 10% and 24% ± 12% for bright ( M UV ≃ −21) and faint ( M UV ≃ −19.5) galaxies, respectively. The fractions of Lyα-emitting galaxies drop from z ∼ 6 to 7 and the amplitude of the drop is larger for faint galaxies than for bright galaxies. These two pieces of evidence would indicate that the neutral hydrogen fraction of the intergalactic medium increases from z ∼ 6 to 7 and that the reionization proceeds from high- to low-density environments, as suggested by an inside-out reionization model.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
