高红移星系中UV光度与莱曼α等效宽度的关系

On the dependence between UV luminosity and Lyman-alpha equivalent width in high redshift galaxies

摘要:

我们证明,在Ly-alpha等效宽度与星系紫外光度之间没有相关性的简单假设下,观测到的高红移星系在等效宽度-绝对紫外星等平面上的分布是可以再现的。我们进一步表明,在Ly-alpha发射体的样本中,Ly-alpha等效宽度和Ly-alpha光度之间没有依赖性。同时,我们表明,最近提出的缺乏大的等效宽度,紫外线明亮的星系(安藤等人。2006)可以解释为一个简单的观测效果,基于太小的调查体积。

英文摘要:

We show that with the simple assumption of no correlation between the Ly-alpha equivalent width and the UV luminosity of a galaxy, the observed distribution of high redshift galaxies in an equivalent width - absolute UV magnitude plane can be reproduced. We further show that there is no dependence between Ly-alpha equivalent width and Ly-alpha luminosity in a sample of Ly-alpha emitters. The test was expanded to Lyman-break galaxies and again no dependence was found. Simultaneously, we show that a recently proposed lack of large equivalent width, UV bright galaxies (Ando et al. 2006) can be explained by a simple observational effect, based on too small survey volumes.
