摘要:

我们提出的SWIRE测光红移目录,1025119红移的前所未有的可靠性和准确性。我们的方法是基于固定的星系和类星体模板应用于数据在0.36-4.5亩,并在一组4红外发射模板适合红外多余的数据在3.6-170亩。该代码涉及两次通过数据,试图优化AGN尘埃环的识别。一些仔细合理的先验被使用,是抑制离群值的关键。允许消光A_V作为自由参数。我们使用了一组5982个光谱红移,这些数据来自文献和我们自己的光谱测量,用来分析我们的方法作为溶液中所用光度带数目和约化chi的函数的性能^[2]。对于7个光度带,(z_{phot} - z_{spec})/(1+ z_{spec})的rms值为3.5%,灾难性离群值的百分比约为1%。我们讨论了在3.6和24 μ的红移分布。在单个场中,红移分布中的结构对应于可以在光谱红移分布中看到的簇。SWIRE测光红移星表中有10%的源z >2,4%的源z>3,因此这个星表是一个巨大的高红移星系资源。了解红外星系演化状态的一个关键参数是L_{ir} / L_{opt},它可以解释为恒星爆发的特定恒星形成率。对于1型活动星系核周围的尘埃环,L_{tor} / L_{opt}是环覆盖因子的度量,我们推导出平均覆盖因子为40%。

英文摘要:

We present the SWIRE Photometric Redshift Catalogue, 1025119 redshifts of unprecedented reliability and accuracy. Our method is based on fixed galaxy and QSO templates applied to data at 0.36-4.5 mu, and on a set of 4 infrared emission templates fitted to infrared excess data at 3.6-170 mu. The code involves two passes through the data, to try to optimize recognition of AGN dust tori. A few carefully justified priors are used and are the key to supression of outliers. Extinction, A_V, is allowed as a free parameter. We use a set of 5982 spectroscopic redshifts, taken from the literature and from our own spectroscopic surveys, to analyze the performance of our method as a function of the number of photometric bands used in the solution and the reduced chi^2. For 7 photometric bands the rms value of (z_{phot}-z_{spec})/(1+z_{spec}) is 3.5%, and the percentage of catastrophic outliers is ~1%. We discuss the redshift distributions at 3.6 and 24 mu. In individual fields, structure in the redshift distribution corresponds to clusters which can be seen in the spectroscopic redshift distribution. 10% of sources in the SWIRE photometric redshift catalogue have z >2, and 4% have z>3, so this catalogue is a huge resource for high redshift galaxies. A key parameter for understanding the evolutionary status of infrared galaxies is L_{ir}/L_{opt}, which can be interpreted as the specific star-formation rate for starbursts. For dust tori around Type 1 AGN, L_{tor}/L_{opt} is a measure of the torus covering factor and we deduce a mean covering factor of 40%.
