4/17/2019First Light StarsFirst stars (maybe 1000X larger than ourown) formed from clouds of hydrogen50-100 million years after the Big Bang.These first stars helped ionize the universe.Because they were so large, they quickly exploded supernovacreating elements such as He or collapsed into black holes.‘O’-class stars are25X larger thanour ‘G’-class Sun.The (modern) Morgan–Keenan spectral classification system, with the temperature range of each star class shown above it, in kelvin.The overwhelming majority of stars today are M-class stars, with only 1 known O- or B-class star within 25 parsecs. Our Sun is a Gclass star. However, in the early Universe, almost all of the stars were O or B-class stars, with an average mass 25 times greater thanaverage stars today.Wikimedia Commons user LucasVB, additions by E.

RedshiftBlueRedGreen 5.8 Gyr2.2 Gyr3.3 Gyr1.8 Gyr2.2 Gyr1.0 GyrWhat is RedshiftThe further away an object is, the more its light is redshifted fromthe visible into the infrared – because of space/time stretching.To see really far away, we need an infrared telescope.4

4/17/2019First Galaxy in Hubble Deep FieldAt 480 M yrs after big bang (z 10) this one of oldestobserved galaxy. Discovered using drop-out technique.(current oldest is 420 M yrs after BB, maybe only 200 M yrs)Left image is visible light, and the next three in near-infraredfilters. The galaxy suddenly pop up in the H filter, at awavelength of 1.6 microns (a little over twice the wavelength theeye can detect).

4/17/2019First Black HolesOne theory for ‘first’ black holes is direct collapse of ‘first’ stars.Below shows disappearance of 25X times our Sun star without a supernova.The visible/near-IR photos from Hubble show a massive star, about 25 times the mass of the Sun, that has winked out of existence,with no supernova or other explanation. Direct collapse is the only reasonable candidate explanation.NASA/ESA/C. Kochanek (OSU)Ethan Siegel, FORBES.com, 24 Oct 2018WISE is Wide-Field IR ‘finder scope’ for JWSTWISE has found millions of black holes in galaxies previouslyobscured by dust called hot DOGs, or dust-obscured galaxies.Nancy Atkinson , Universe Today, on August 29, 201233

4/17/2019Oldest & Brightest Quasar – 770M yrs after BBThis Quasar is 770 million years after Big Bang, ispowered by a black hole 2 billion times the massof our Sun and emits 60 trillion times as muchlight as the sun. How a black hole became somassive so soon after the Big Bang is unknown.“It is like finding a 6-foot-tall child in kindergarten,”says astrophysicist Marta Volonteri, at the Universityof Michigan in Ann Arbor.The spectra of the light from this (and other earlylight objects) indicate that the Universe was stillfilled with significant amounts of neutralhydrogen even 770 Myrs after big bang.Image of ULASJ1120 0641, a verydistant quasar powered bya black hole with a mass 2billion times that of thesun, was created fromimages taken from surveysmade by both the SloanDigital Sky Survey andthe UKIRT Infrared DeepSky Survey.

But observations in the visiblecouldn’t find enough dust.Dust is cold, therefore, it can only be seen in IR.Looking in the IR (with Herschel and Spitzer) atSupernova 1987A, 100,000X more dust wasseen than in the visible – the total mass ofthis dust equals about half of our Sun.Image of Supernova 1987A, taken in theinfrared by Herschel and Spitzer, showssome of the warm dust surrounding it.CREDIT: Pasquale PanuzzoSPACE.com, Taylor Redd, 7 July 201135

4/17/20192nd Generation Stars – 700M yrs after BBThis star is a 2nd generation star after the big bang because it hastrace amounts of heavy elements – meaning that at least onesupernova had exploded before it was formed.But its existence contradicts current theories because it has toomuch Hydrogen and too much Helium and not enough Carbonand other heavy elements.Nola Taylor Redd, SPACE.com, 31 August 2011; CREDIT: ESO/Digitized Sky Survey 2Subaru Deep Field: Ancient Supernova 3.7B yrs after BB22 of 150 ancient supernovae in 10% of Subaru Deep Field12 occurred around 3.7B yrs after big bang.Supernova were 10X more frequent at this time than today.Supernova helped seed early universe with chemical elements.Clara Moskowitz, SPACE.com, 05 October 201136

But, spectraindicates that stars in its constituentgalaxies are 1 B-yrs old.
