摘要:

哈勃空间望远镜(HST)高级巡天照相机(ACS)棱栅PEARS(探测演化和再电离光谱)巡天提供了GOODS南北场数千个星系的低分辨率光谱的大型数据集。这些数据中的一个重要的对象子集是发射线星系(ELG),我们已经研究了几种不同的方法,旨在系统地选择这些星系。在这里,我们提出了一种新的方法和结果的搜索这些ELG在PEARS观测的哈勃超深场(HUDF)使用的2D检测方法,利用观测,许多发射线起源于星系内的clujerk结。这种二维线发现的方法被证明是有用的,在检测发射线从星系内的紧凑的结,否则可能无法检测到使用更传统的一维线发现技术。我们在HUDF中总共发现了96条发射线,来自63个星系中的81个不同的“结”。我们发现,一般来说,[OIII]发射器是最常见的,占样本的44%,平均具有高等效宽度(70%的[OIII]发射器具有静止帧EW> 100 A)。有12个星系有多个发射节点-不同的节点表现出不同的通量值,这表明在一个星系中不同的恒星形成特性一般可以在红移z~0.2 - 0.4进行探测。最普遍的形态是大的面对螺旋和cluerous相互作用的系统,许多是独特的检测,由于这里描述的2D方法,从而突出了这种技术的优势。

英文摘要:

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) grism PEARS (Probing Evolution And Reionization Spectroscopically) survey provides a large dataset of low-resolution spectra from thousands of galaxies in the GOODS North and South fields. One important subset of objects in these data are emission-line galaxies (ELGs), and we have investigated several different methods aimed at systematically selecting these galaxies. Here we present a new methodology and results of a search for these ELGs in the PEARS observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) using a 2D detection method that utilizes the observation that many emission lines originate from clumpy knots within galaxies. This 2D line-finding method proves to be useful in detecting emission lines from compact knots within galaxies that might not otherwise be detected using more traditional 1D line-finding techniques. We find in total 96 emission lines in the HUDF, originating from 81 distinct "knots'' within 63 individual galaxies. We find in general that [OIII] emitters are the most common, comprising 44% of the sample, and on average have high equivalent widths (70% of [OIII] emitters having rest-frame EW>100A). There are 12 galaxies with multiple emitting knots--with different knots exhibiting varying flux values, suggesting that the differing star formation properties across a single galaxy can in general be probed at redshifts z~0.2-0.4. The most prevalent morphologies are large face-on spirals and clumpy interacting systems, many being unique detections owing to the 2D method described here, thus highlighting the strength of this technique.
