摘要:

本文介绍了斯皮策/IRAC对Q1422+2309、Q2233+1341、DSF 2237 a、b、HDFN、SSA 22 a、b和B20902+34等区域深中红外观测的光度分析,给出了每个区域的计数和深度。在这些区域的751个LBG样品中,分别在3.6 μ m、4.5 μ m、5.8 μ m、8.0 μ m IRAC波段识别出443个、448个、137个和152个LBG,将它们的光谱能量分布扩展到静止近红外,揭示了LBG显示出多种颜色。它们的静止近红外特性是相当不均匀的,从在IRAC波段中明亮的并且呈现[R]-[3.6] > 1.5色的那些到在IRAC波段中微弱的或者根本检测不到的那些,并且[R]-[3.6] < 1.5色,并且研究了这两组LBG。我们将LBG的中红外颜色与恒星形成星系的颜色进行比较,发现LBG的颜色与z~3处的恒星形成星系一致。对在8微米IRAC波段(静止系K波段)上探测到的LBG的性质进行了分析,结果表明它们的色比其它的LBG红[R]-[3.6],并且IRAC 8微米波段可以作为一种诊断工具,在z~3处将活动星系核支配的天体与正常的成星星系区分开来

英文摘要:

We present photometric analysis of deep mid-infrared observations obtained by Spitzer/IRAC covering the fields Q1422+2309, Q2233+1341, DSF2237a,b, HDFN, SSA22a,b and B20902+34, giving the number counts and the depths for each field. In a sample of 751 LBGs lying in those fields, 443, 448, 137 and 152 are identified at 3.6microns, 4.5microns, 5.8microns, 8.0microns IRAC bands respectively, expanding their spectral energy distribution to rest-near-infrared and revealing that LBGs display a variety of colours. Their rest-near-infrared properties are rather inhomogeneous, ranging from those that are bright in IRAC bands and exhibit [R]-[3.6] > 1.5 colours to those that are faint or not detected at all in IRAC bands with [R]-[3.6] < 1.5 colours and these two groups of LBGs are investigated. We compare the mid-IR colours of the LBGs with the colours of star-forming galaxies and we find that LBGs have colours consistent with star-foming galaxies at z~3. The properties of the LBGs detected in the 8microns IRAC band (rest frame K-band) are examined separately, showing that they exhibit redder [R]-[3.6] colours than the rest of the population and that IRAC 8microns band can be used as a diagnostic tool, to separate AGN dominated objects from normal star-forming galaxies at z~3
