Are the Newly-Discovered \$z {\textbackslash}sim 13\$ Drop-out Sources Starburst Galaxies or Quasars?. Pacucci, F., Dayal, P., Harikane, Y., Inoue, A. K., & Loeb, A. arXiv:2201.00823 [astro-ph], January, 2022. arXiv: 2201.00823Paper abstract bibtex The detection of two \$z {\textbackslash}sim 13\$ galaxy candidates (Harikane et al. 2021b) has opened a new window on galaxy formation at an era only \$330\$ Myr after the Big Bang. Here, we investigate the physical nature of these sources: are we witnessing star forming galaxies or quasars at such early epochs? If powered by star formation, the observed ultraviolet (UV) luminosities and number densities can be jointly explained if: (i) these galaxies are extreme star-formers with star formation rates \$5-25{\textbackslash}times\$ higher than those expected from extrapolations of average lower-redshift relations; (ii) the star formation efficiency increases with halo mass and is countered by increasing dust attenuation from \$z {\textbackslash}sim 10-5\$; (iii) they form stars with an extremely top-heavy initial mass function. The quasar hypothesis is also plausible, with the UV luminosity produced by black holes of \${\textbackslash}sim 10{\textasciicircum}8 {\textbackslash}, {\textbackslash}mathrm\{M_\{{\textbackslash}odot\}\}\$ accreting at or slightly above the Eddington rate (\$f_\{{\textbackslash}rm Edd\}{\textbackslash}sim 1.0\$). This black hole mass at \$z {\textbackslash}sim 13\$ would require challenging, but not implausible, growth parameters, in line with what required for \$z{\textbackslash}sim 7.5\$ quasars detected thus far. If spectroscopically confirmed, these two sources will represent a remarkable laboratory to study the Universe at previously inaccessible redshifts.
