摘要:

我们使用安装在大型双目望远镜(LBT)上的大型双目相机(LBC)在U,B和V波段观察洛克曼洞。我们的观测覆盖面积为925平方弧分。我们在三个波段分别达到了26.7,26.3和26.3 mag(AB)的深度,就50%的源探测效率而言,这使得这次调查成为最深的U波段调查和最深的B和V波段调查之一。我们提取了大量的源(~89000),在所有三个波段检测,并检查其表面密度,将其与星系演化模型进行比较。我们发现很好的协议与以前的说法,一个陡峭的光度函数的暗端斜率,造成晚型和不规则星系在z>1.5。在1.5<z<2.5处的矮星形成星系群需要解释U带的数量计数。我们还发现了强超新星反馈的证据在高红移。这项调查是对斯巴鲁望远镜进行的r,i和z Lockman Hole调查的补充,并提供了必要的波长覆盖范围,以获得光度红移,并从Lockman Hole中选择不同类型的源进行进一步研究。

英文摘要:

We used the large binocular camera (LBC) mounted on the large binocular telescope (LBT) to observe the Lockman Hole in the U, B, and V bands. Our observations cover an area of 925 sq.arcmin. We reached depths of 26.7, 26.3, and 26.3 mag(AB) in the three bands, respectively, in terms of 50% source detection efficiency, making this survey the deepest U-band survey and one of the deepest B and V band surveys with respect to its covered area. We extracted a large number of sources (~89000), detected in all three bands and examined their surface density, comparing it with models of galaxy evolution. We find good agreement with previous claims of a steep faint-end slope of the luminosity functions, caused by late-type and irregular galaxies at z>1.5. A population of dwarf star-forming galaxies at 1.5<z<2.5 is needed to explain the U-band number counts. We also find evidence of strong supernova feedback at high redshift. This survey is complementary to the r, i, and z Lockman Hole survey conducted with the Subaru telescope and provides the essential wavelength coverage to derive photometric redshifts and select different types of sources from the Lockman Hole for further study.
