摘要:

本文报道了z=3.91的引力透镜宽吸收线类星体APM 08279 +5255的亚毫米波阵列观测结果,它在空间上分辨出1.0mm(0.2mm静止坐标系)的尘埃连续辐射。在0.4”的分辨率下,辐射被分成两个部分,一个较强的,向东北方向延伸的部分(46+/-5mJy)和一个较弱的,向西南方向紧凑的部分(15+/-2mJy)。我们已经进行了模拟的引力透镜效应负责的两个submm组件,以约束的submm连续发射的内在尺寸。使用椭圆透镜势,最佳拟合透镜模型产生的固有(投影)直径约为80 pc,这不像光学/近红外(NIR)发射那样紧凑,并且与APM 08279 +5255中先前对气体和尘埃发射的大小估计一致。根据我们的估计,我们倾向于认为0.2mm(静止坐标系)的辐射来自于主要由活动星系核加热的暖尘埃成分(T_d=150- 220 K),而不是来自于星暴(SB)。在我们的模型中,通量增加了约90倍,与最近对APM 08279 +5255的估计一致。

英文摘要:

We present Submillimeter Array observations of the z=3.91 gravitationally lensed broad absorption line quasar APM08279+5255 which spatially resolve the 1.0mm (0.2mm rest-frame) dust continuum emission. At 0.4" resolution, the emission is separated into two components, a stronger, extended one to the northeast (46+/-5mJy) and a weaker, compact one to the southwest (15+/-2mJy). We have carried out simulations of the gravitational lensing effect responsible for the two submm components in order to constrain the intrinsic size of the submm continuum emission. Using an elliptical lens potential, the best fit lensing model yields an intrinsic (projected) diameter of ~80pc, which is not as compact as the optical/near-infrared (NIR) emission and agrees with previous size estimates of the gas and dust emission in APM08279+5255. Based on our estimate, we favor a scenario in which the 0.2mm (rest-frame) emission originates from a warm dust component (T_d=150-220K) that is mainly heated by the AGN rather than by a starburst (SB). The flux is boosted by a factor of ~90 in our model, consistent with recent estimates for APM08279+5255.
