红移大于1的分子谱线研究

Molecular lines studies at redshift greater than 1

Francoise Combes

摘要:

在高红移(大于1)的毫米波区域对CO分子的观测,提供了关于恒星形成效率及其随红移演化的有趣信息。由于检测的困难性,选择效应是重要的。这种探测通常是由于引力放大。通过(远)红外线通量选择的天体通常与ULIRGS有关,即在核区域与星暴合并。类星体已被选为强大的光源,并已被发现与恒星爆发,丰富的气体。在红移大于1时,气体分数似乎高得多。类星体允许探测再电离期的结束,以及膨胀和黑洞质量之间的关系。然而,这些选择偏差可能会导致我们错过一些气体星系,恒星形成的效率很低,例如在z=1.5或2时通过BzK颜色选择的更静止的物体。

英文摘要:

Observations of CO molecules in the millimetrer domain at high redshift (larger than 1), have provided interesting informations about star formation efficiency, and its evolution with redshift. Due to the difficulty of the detections, selection effects are important. The detection if often due to gravitational amplification. Objects selected by their (far)infrared flux, are in general associated to ULIRGS, mergers with starburst in the nuclear regions. Quasars have been selected as powerful optical sources, and have been found to be associated to starbursts, rich in gas. The gas fraction appears to be much higher at redshift greater than 1. Quasars allow to probe the end of the reionisation period, and the relation between bulge and black hole mass. However these selection bias could have led us to miss some gaseous galaxies, with low-efficiency of star formation, such as the more quiescent objects selected by their BzK colors at z=1.5 or 2.
