类星体的金属畸变和FIR亮度

Quasar Metal Abundance and FIR Luminosity

L. E. Simon, F. Hamann

摘要:

我们使用宽发射线和远红外(FIR)光度的测量,在高红移类星体的恒星形成率(SFR)的比较金属丰度。远红外辐射表明了星系中正在进行的大规模恒星爆发的水平,而类星体周围气体中金属的丰度表明了在可见类星体阶段开始之前发生的恒星形成的数量。这一研究结果可以用来约束星暴类星体演化的后期阶段。我们在整个样本中检测到高金属丰度,高达太阳的几倍,证实恒星形成必须在可见的类星体阶段之前开始。然而,我们没有检测到金属丰度与当前SFR的趋势。

英文摘要:

We compare the metallicities in high-redshift quasars to the star formation rates (SFR) in their host galaxies using measurements of broad emission lines and far-infrared (FIR) luminosities. The FIR emission indicates the level of ongoing massive starbursts in the galaxy, whereas the abundance of metals in the gas surrounding the quasar indicates the amount of star formation which occurred before the visible quasar phase began. The results of this study can be used to constrain the late stages of starburst-quasar evolution. We detect high metallicities throughout the sample, up to several times solar, confirming that star formation must have begun before the visible quasar phase. However, we do not detect a trend in metallicity versus current SFR.
