Teshima

  6. Abdo+ 09, Sci. 323, 1688 Fermi/LAT detection of GRB 080916C up to 13 GeV without cutoff EBL constraints at z=4.35

  7. cosmic star formation rate from GRB rate Kistler+ 09 from HUDF true star formation rate inc. faint galaxies below current detection limit may be higher than directly observed

  8. Yoshi Inoue+ in prep. cosmic star formation rate vs models large uncertainties in SFR at z>6

  9. Choudhury & Ferrara 05, 06, Choudhury 09 cosmic reionization model semi-analytical model with Pop III+II stars+QSOs, radiative+chemical feedback consistent with large set of high-z observations: WMAP, xHI, HUDF NIR counts, etc. xHI WMAP3 LLS reionization begins z~15 90% z~8 100% z~6 (WMAP7 OK) Gphotoion SFR Lya TIGM Lyb HUDF

  10. SI+ arXiv:0906.2495 MNRAS, in press  absorption optical depth (high UV) low z model Kneiske+ 04 (high stellar UV) ~0.4 @z=4.35, E=13.2GeV (GRB 080916C) appreciable differences in attenuation between z~5-8 at several GeV → unique, important info on evolution of UV IRF below Ly edge = direct census of cosmic star formation rate (indep. of fesc, C)

  11. below Ly edge above Ly edge <13.6 eV >13.6 eV UV intergalactic radiation field (IRF) at high-z • does not ionize HI, weakly absorbed • reasonably uniform • important for  absorption • ionizes HI, strongly absorbed • highly non-uniform • negligible for  absorption • direct measure of UV emissivity • (indep. of escape fraction, • IGM clumping factor)

  12. Yoshi Inoue+ in prep. cosmic star formation rate vs models large uncertainties in SFR at z>6

  13. semi-analytical model following halo merger histories consistent with galaxy properties at z<6 galaxy formation model (Mitaka model) Kobayashi+ 09 galaxy LF

  14. Y. Inoue+, in prep., see Poster 34 include Pop III at Z<10-4 (Schaerer 02) galaxy formation+reionization model (work ongoing) ionizing photon emissivity sufficient for z<7 electron scattering optical depth assuming ionization equil. sufficient if z>10 SFR ~5x higher

  15. Y. Inoue+, in prep.  optical depth: comparison large differences in absorption ~10-100 GeV -> distinguishable through CTA obs.

  16. GRB 080916C (z=4.3) detectability of high-z GRBs by CTA Abdo+ 09 GRB 080916C at z=30 1min CTA sensitivity curves CENSORED 1hr CTA GRB 080916C extended emission ~ 10-9 erg/cm2/s at T~1000s extrapolated to TeV (afterglow IC) neglecting EBL, detectable to z=30!! distinguish from intrinsic cutoffs by variability, z-dependence

  17. gamma-ray absorption = effective probe of high-z diffuse UV radiation = (most robust?) probe of high-z cosmic star formation rate summary may also probe escape fraction in combination w. other data realistic range of models predict absorption in the 10-100 GeV range for z~5-10 observable in GRBs by CTA/AGIS out to z~10 & beyond (if their spectra extend to >100 GeV and neglecting EBL) high-energy gamma-rays can make essential contributions to observational cosmology
