摘要:

我们发现了一个巨大的射电宁静莱曼α(Lya)团块(RQLAB)的候选者,它位于一个巨大的Lya晕B3 J2330+3927中的高红移射电星系(HzRG)周围的大尺度结构中,红移z=3.087。我们用Subaru/Suprime-Cam获得了B3 J2330+3927周围的Lya成像,以寻找红移z=3.09+-0.03的Lya发射体(LAEs)和吸收体(LAAs)。我们在31' x 24'的视场中检测到候选127个LAE和26个LAA。我们发现B3 J2330+3927被一个130 kpc的Lya晕和一个大尺度(60 × 20 Mpc)的平行结构所包围。该大尺度结构包含一个突出的局部密度峰,其过密度大于5,其距离B3 J2330+3927 8'(15个同动Mpc)。在这个峰中,我们发现了一个候选的100 kpc RQLAB。这两种类型的Lya星云都存在于同一个大尺度结构中,表明巨大的Lya星云需要特殊的大尺度环境才能形成。然而,在较小的尺度上,与RQLAB相反,B3 J2330+3927的位置在该结构中不是显著的局部密度峰。对于这两个Lya星云局部环境的差异有两种可能的解释。首先,RQLAB可能需要一个突出的(δ ~ 5)密度峰值的星系形成强烈的恒星爆发,由于频繁的星系相互作用/合并和/或连续的气体吸积在过密的环境。另一方面,如果Lya晕主要由其射电和活动星系核活动提供动力,则HzRG周围的Lya晕可能并不总是需要一个显著的密度峰来形成。或者,HzRG周围的RQLAB和Lya晕可能都需要突出的密度峰值才能形成,但我们无法完全追踪星系的密度,因为我们在这次调查中错过了进化和尘埃星系。

英文摘要:

We present the discovery of a candidate of giant radio-quiet Lyman-alpha (Lya) blob (RQLAB) in a large-scale structure around a high-redshift radio galaxy (HzRG) lying in a giant Lya halo, B3 J2330+3927 at redshift z=3.087. We obtained Lya imaging around B3 J2330+3927 with Subaru/Suprime-Cam to search for Lya emitters (LAEs) and absorbers (LAAs) at redshift z=3.09+-0.03. We detected candidate 127 LAEs and 26 LAAs in the field of view of 31' x 24'. We found that B3 J2330+3927 is surrounded by a 130 kpc Lya halo and a large-scale (60 x 20 comoving Mpc) filamentary structure. The large-scale structure contains one prominent local density peak with an overdensity of greater than 5, which is 8' (15 comoving Mpc) away from B3 J2330+3927. In this peak, we discovered a candidate 100 kpc RQLAB. The existence of both types of Lya nebulae in the same large-scale structure suggests that giant Lya nebulae need special large-scale environments to form. On smaller scales, however, the location of B3 J2330+3927 is not a significant local density peak in this structure, in contrast to the RQLAB. There are two possible interpretations of the difference of the local environments of these two Lya nebulae. Firstly, RQLAB may need a prominent (delta ~ 5) density peak of galaxies to form through intense star-bursts due to frequent galaxy interactions/mergers and/or continuous gas accretion in an overdense environment. On the other hand, Lya halo around HzRG may not always need a prominent density peak to form if the surrounding Lya halo is mainly powered by its radio and AGN activities. Alternatively, both RQLAB and Lya halo around HzRG may need prominent density peaks to form but we could not completely trace the density of galaxies because we missed evolved and dusty galaxies in this survey.
