Abstract

Low-mass (dwarf) galaxies constitute the dominant galaxy population in numbers and are the building blocks of Milky Way type galaxies as we see them today but have been studied much less than their larger and more massive counterparts. Here we propose to obtain a unique dataset containing two-dimensional (2D) spatially resolved high spectral resolution Integral Field Spectroscopy for a representative sample of low-redshift low-mass star-forming galaxies analogs of primeval galaxies, complemented with a control sample of dwarf early-types at dense environments. Broad and Narrow band imaging will provide complementary data on the distribution of the Star Formation Rate and on the close environment.

The aim is to study their physical properties and kinematics and shed light on the reionization epoch and the general role of low-mass galaxies in galaxy evolution. Combining ancillary multi-wavelength data with our detailed 2D spectroscopic analysis and using recent models we will be able to study the role of feedback, cooling, active galactic nuclei, element enrichment, and the early evolution of gas and dust in these systems. We will also be able to study the role of the environment in their evolution. By studying nearby resolved dwarf galaxies, we will be able to form a bridge between the local dwarfs, and high redshift primeval galaxies.

The final goal of this ITP is to create a well-known reference galaxy sample to test strategies and models for future studies of primeval galaxies with MOSAIC. All the outputs of the ITP will be used as template for both simulations/simulators of the instrument and as reference to design the future massive MOSAIC surveys.

All the collaborators belong to the Science Team of the MOSAIC project, an international consortium that is developing a high-resolution multi-IFU and Multi-Object Spectrograph for the ELT. For this ITP MOSAIC will provide the support and manpower for collaboration within the project.
