摘要:

在等级星系形成的范例中,明亮的射电星系标志着应该包含星系团的质量组装峰。用斯皮策太空望远镜在3.6-24微米和6.5米MMT在z '和Y波段观测z=1.53的类星体3C270.1,可以通过光度红移探测潜在的星系团成员。与附近的控制场相比,在1.33 < z_phot < 1.73处有11个极端红色物体(ERO),与类星体周围的原星团一致。3/4的ERO的光谱能量分布(SED)更好地拟合被动椭圆星系比withdust-红化的星爆,以及四个源上的档案HST快照图像检测,都有未受干扰的形态。然而,一个ERO,没有被HST图像覆盖,是一个双源,在z'图像上有0.8”的间隔,边缘(2sigma)24微米的探测表明一个尘埃笼罩的星暴。ERO比L* 更明亮(在z=1.5时H = -23.6 AB mag)。

英文摘要:

In the paradigm of hierarchical galaxy formation, luminous radio galaxies mark mass assembly peaks that should contain clusters of galaxies. Observations of the z=1.53 quasar 3C270.1 with the Spitzer Space Telescope at 3.6-24 micron and with the 6.5-m MMT in the z'- and Y-bands allow detection of potential cluster members via photometric redshifts. Compared with nearby control fields, there is an excess of 11 extremely red objects (EROs) at 1.33 < z_phot < 1.73, consistent with a proto-cluster around the quasar. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 3/4 of the EROs are better fitted with passive elliptical galaxies than withdust-reddened starbursts, and of four sources well-detected on an archival HST snapshot image, all have undisturbed morphologies. However, one ERO, not covered by the HST image, is a double source with 0.8" separation on the z' image and a marginal (2sigma) 24 micron detection indicating a dust-enshrouded starburst. The EROs are more luminous than L* (H = -23.6 AB mag at z=1.5).
