CO Luminosity Es5mates
• O-‐O-‐M approach (Carilli 2010) • Compute needed SFR for reioniza5on • Get other rela5onships to go from that to something observable.
• SFR à LIR à LCO
Simple Halo Model (essen5ally same assump5ons)
• Lidz et al 2011 (Ap J 741:70) • Parameterized by the minimum mass halo hos5ng CO luminous galaxies:
Munoz et al 2013
Model for Lower z • Pullen et al 2012 • Models with different CO luminosity assump5ons:
– A : Halo mass to CO luminosity – B : Star forma5on rate to CO luminosity

• Phased development of techniques/instrumenta5on for red-‐shieed CO – piggy-‐back to higher z – upper limits -‐> detec5on -‐> sta5s5cs -‐> imaging
• Leveraging the tremendous amount of work done in HI EOR – smaller signal, but easier foregrounds
• Use exis5ng facili5es to start
• What is desired is the spa5al power spectrum, not an image (yet) – k is the 3-‐D wavenumber of the spa5al PS – Interferometric u,v coordinates are just scaled versions of k in the plane of the sky (k )
– On cosmological scales, the frequency axis provides the “line-‐of-‐sight” image coordinate • Its transform is the k coordinate
