摘要： The primordial He abundance $Y_\mathrm{P}$ is a powerful probe of cosmology. Currently, $Y_\mathrm{P}$ is best determined by observations of metal-poor galaxies, while there are only a few known local extremely metal-poor ($<0.1 Z_\odot$) galaxies (EMPGs) having reliable He/H measurements with HeI$\lambda$10830 near-infrared (NIR) emission. Here we present deep Subaru NIR spectroscopy for 10 EMPGs. Combining the existing optical data, He/H values of 5 out of the 10 EMPGs are reliably derived by the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. Adding the existing 3 EMPGs and 51 moderately metal-poor ($0.1-0.4 Z_\odot$) galaxies with reliable He/H estimates, we obtain $Y_\mathrm{P}=0.2370^{+0.0034}_{-0.0033}$ by linear regression in the $\mathrm{(He/H)}-\mathrm{(O/H)}$ plane, where we increase the number of EMPGs from 3 to 8 anchoring He/H of the most metal-poor gas in galaxies. Although our $Y_\mathrm{P}$ measurement and previous measurements are consistent, our result is slightly ($\sim 1\sigma$) smaller due to our EMPGs. With our $Y_\mathrm{P}$ and the existing primordial deuterium $D_\mathrm{P}$ measurement, we constrain the effective number of neutrino species $N_\mathrm{eff}$ and the baryon-to-photon ratio $\eta$ showing $\gtrsim 1-2\sigma$ tensions with the Standard Model and Planck Collaboration et al. (2020). Motivated by the tensions, we allow the degeneracy parameter of electron-neutrino $\xi_e$ to vary as well as $N_\mathrm{eff}$ and $\eta$. We obtain $\xi_e = 0.05^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$, $N_\mathrm{eff}=3.11^{+0.34}_{-0.31}$, and $\eta\times10^{10}=6.08^{+0.06}_{-0.06}$ from the $Y_\mathrm{P}$ and $D_\mathrm{P}$ measurements with a prior of $\eta$ taken from Planck Collaboration et al. (2020). Our constraints suggest a lepton asymmetry and allow for a high value of $N_\mathrm{eff}$ within the $1\sigma$ level, which could mitigate the Hubble tension.

摘要： We present updated measurements of the [O III] 88 $\mu$m, [C II] 158 $\mu$m,
and dust continuum emission from a star-forming galaxy at $z=7.212$,
SXDF-NB1006-2, by utilizing Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)
archival data sets analysed in previous studies and data sets that have not
been analysed before. The follow-up ALMA observations with higher angular
resolution and sensitivity reveal a clumpy structure of the [O III] emission on
a scale of $0.32-0.85\,\rm{kpc}$. We also combined all the ALMA [O III] ([C
II]) data sets and updated the [O III] ([C II]) detection to $5.9\sigma$
($3.6\sigma-4.5\sigma$). The non-detection of [C II] with data from the REBELS
large program implies the incompleteness of spectral-scan surveys using [C II]
to detect galaxies with high star formation rates (SFRs) but marginal [C II]
emission at high-$z$. The dust continuum at 90 $\mu$m and 160 $\mu$m remains
undetected, indicating little dust content of
$<3.9\times10^{6}\,M_\odot\,(3\sigma)$, and we obtained a more stringent
constraint on the total infrared luminosity. We updated the [O III]/[C II]
luminosity ratios to $10.2\pm4.7~(6.1\pm3.5$) and $20\pm12~(9.6\pm6.1$) for
$4.5\sigma$ and $3.6\sigma$ [C II] detections, respectively, where the ratios
in the parentheses are corrected for the surface brightness dimming effect on
the extended [C II] emission. We also found a strong [C II] deficit ($0.6-1.3$
dex) between SXDF-NB1006-2 and the mean $L_{\rm{[CII]}}-\rm{SFR}$ relation of
galaxies at $0

摘要： We present kinematics of 6 local extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) with low metallicities ($0.016-0.098\ Z_{\odot}$) and low stellar masses ($10^{4.7}-10^{7.6} M_{\odot}$). Taking deep medium-high resolution ($R\sim7500$) integral-field spectra with 8.2-m Subaru, we resolve the small inner velocity gradients and dispersions of the EMPGs with H$\alpha$ emission. Carefully masking out sub-structures originated by inflow and/or outflow, we fit 3-dimensional disk models to the observed H$\alpha$ flux, velocity, and velocity-dispersion maps. All the EMPGs show rotational velocities ($v_{\rm rot}$) of 5--23 km s$^{-1}$ smaller than the velocity dispersions ($\sigma_{0}$) of 17--31 km s$^{-1}$, indicating dispersion-dominated ($v_{\rm rot}/\sigma_{0}=0.29-0.80<1$) systems affected by inflow and/or outflow. Except for two EMPGs with large uncertainties, we find that the EMPGs have very large gas-mass fractions of $f_{\rm gas}\simeq 0.9-1.0$. Comparing our results with other H$\alpha$ kinematics studies, we find that $v_{\rm rot}/\sigma_{0}$ decreases and $f_{\rm gas}$ increases with decreasing metallicity, decreasing stellar mass, and increasing specific star-formation rate. We also find that simulated high-$z$ ($z\sim 7$) forming galaxies have gas fractions and dynamics similar to the observed EMPGs. Our EMPG observations and the simulations suggest that primordial galaxies are gas-rich dispersion-dominated systems, which would be identified by the forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations at $z\sim 7$.
