The [CII] line may prove to be a powerful tool in determining spectroscopic redshifts, and galaxy dynamics, for the first galaxies. In 40\\,hr, ALMA has the sensitivity to detect the integrated [CII] line emission from a moderate metallicity, active star-forming galaxy [$Z_A = 0.2\\,Z_{\\odot}$; star formation rate (SFR)= 5\\,$M_\\odot$\\,yr$^{-1}$], at $z = 10$ at a significance of 6$\\sigma$. The ngVLA will detect the integrated [CII] line emission from a Milky-Way like star formation rate galaxy ($Z_{A} = 0.2\\,Z_{\\odot}$, SFR = 1\\,$M_\\odot$\\,yr$^{-1}$), at $z = 15$ at a significance of 6$\\sigma$. Imaging simulations show that the ngVLA can determine rotation dynamics for active star-forming galaxies at $z \\sim 15$, if they exist. The [CII] detection rate in blind surveys will be slow (of order unity per 40\\,hr pointing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-16T12:36:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "active star-forming galaxy", "star formation rate galaxy", "line emission", "determine rotation dynamics", "first galaxies" ], "tags": [ "monograph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
