Abstract
We present ALMA detection of the [O iii] 88 μm line and 850 μm dust continuum emission in a Y-dropout Lyman break galaxy, MACS0416-Y1. The [O iii] detection confirms the object with a spectroscopic redshift to be z = 8.3118±0.0003. The 850 μm continuum intensity (0.14 mJy) implies a large dust mass on the order of 4×106M . The ultraviolet-to-far infrared spectral energy distribution modeling, where the [O iii] emissivity model is incorporated, suggests the presence of a young (τage 4 Myr), star-forming (SFR 60M yr-1), and moderately metal-polluted (Z 0.2Z ) stellar component with a stellar mass of 3 × 108M . An analytic dust mass evolution model with a single episode of star formation does not reproduce the metallicity and dust mass in 4 Myr, suggesting an underlying evolved stellar component as the origin of the dust mass.
