摘要:

我们提出了新的中红外和亚毫米观测样品的8个高红移2型类星体位于钱德拉深场南。这些源是X射线吸收的,其亮度超过10^44 erg/s。其中两个目标具有稳健的检测,S/N > 4,而另外三个目标在S/N > =2.5的情况下勉强检测到。斯皮策太空望远镜在多个中红外波段探测到所有的源。的多波长光谱能量分布(SED)的2型类星体进行了比较,以两个本地的超亮星系(Arp 220和IR 22491),以评估贡献的恒星形成的组件在不同的部分SED。我们认为,它们的亚毫米辐射可能是由于恒星暴,而大部分中红外能量可能起源于被遮蔽的中央类星体。利用中红外和亚毫米波段的观测,我们得到了超过L>10^12Lsun的红外光度。亚毫米(850微米)到X射线(2 keV)的光谱指数(alpha_SX)范围很广。大约一半的2型类星体具有康普顿厚度AGN的典型值,只有1%的核发射通过散射看到,其余的具有亚毫米明亮星系的典型值。结合现有的观测证据,我们概述了这些来源演变的早期阶段的可能情况。

英文摘要:

We present new mid-infrared and submillimetre observations for a sample of eight high redshift type-2 QSOs located in the Chandra Deep Field South. The sources are X-ray absorbed with luminosities in excess of 10^44 erg/s. Two of the targets have robust detections, S/N > 4, while a further three targets are marginally detected with S/N > =2.5. All sources are detected in multiple mid-infrared bands with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The multiwavelength spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the type-2 QSOs are compared to those of two local ultraluminous galaxies (Arp220 and IR22491) in order to assess contributions from a star-forming component in various parts of the SED. We suggest that their submillimetre emission is possibly due to a starburst while a large fraction of the mid-infrared energy is likely to originate in the obscured central quasar. Using the mid-infrared and submm observations we derive infrared luminosities which are found to be in excess of L>10^12Lsun. The submillimetre (850micron) to X-ray (2 keV) spectral indices (alpha_SX) span a wide range. About half of the type-2 QSOs have values typical for a Compton-thick AGN with only 1 per cent of the nuclear emission seen through scattering and, the remaining with values typical of submm-bright galaxies. Combining the available observational evidence we outline a possible scenario for the early stages of evolution of these sources.
