摘要:

背景:研究宇宙中活动星系核和恒星形成的联合演化。目的:在1.4 GHz的调查与澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列的钱德拉深场南和欧洲大面积ISO调查- S1,我们已经确定了一类对象,这是强大的无线电,但没有可检测的红外和光学对应。这一类被称为模糊无线电源,或IFRS。2002年有53个来源被归类为IFRS。目前还不知道这些物体是什么。研究方法:为了解决这些物体的性质是什么的许多可能的解释,我们用澳大利亚长基线阵列观察了四个来源。结果:我们已经检测到并成像的四个源观察。假设该源是在一个高红移,我们发现它的性质与紧凑陡谱源的性质一致。然而,由于缺乏光学和红外数据,限制不是特别强。

英文摘要:

Context: To investigate the joint evolution of active galactic nuclei and star formation in the Universe. Aims: In the 1.4 GHz survey with the Australia Telescope Compact Array of the Chandra Deep Field South and the European Large Area ISO Survey - S1 we have identified a class of objects which are strong in the radio but have no detectable infrared and optical counterparts. This class has been called Infrared-Faint Radio Sources, or IFRS. 53 sources out of 2002 have been classified as IFRS. It is not known what these objects are. Methods: To address the many possible explanations as to what the nature of these objects is we have observed four sources with the Australian Long Baseline Array. Results: We have detected and imaged one of the four sources observed. Assuming that the source is at a high redshift, we find its properties in agreement with properties of Compact Steep Spectrum sources. However, due to the lack of optical and infrared data the constraints are not particularly strong.
