摘要:

深雨燕紫外/光学望远镜(UVOT)对钱德拉深场南的成像被用来测量三个近紫外(NUV)滤光片(uvw 2:1928 A,uvm 2:2246 A,uvw 1:2600 A)和u波段(3645 A)的星系数。UVOT观测覆盖了NUV数计数斜率的突变,比哈勃太空望远镜(HST)空间望远镜成像光谱仪(STIS)和星系演化探测器(GALEX)的数计数精度更高,范围从21 < m_AB < 25。数计数模型证实了早期的调查有利于模型与不断发展的星系光度函数。

英文摘要:

Deep Swift UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South is used to measure galaxy number counts in three near ultraviolet (NUV) filters (uvw2: 1928 A, uvm2: 2246 A, uvw1: 2600 A) and the u band (3645 A). UVOT observations cover the break in the slope of the NUV number counts with greater precision than the number counts by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), spanning a range from 21 < m_AB < 25. Number counts models confirm earlier investigations in favoring models with an evolving galaxy luminosity function.
