摘要:

我们提出了详细的光学远红外观测SST J1604 + 4304,在z = 1.135的ULIRG。通过分析恒星吸收谱线,即光谱中的CaII H & K线和Balmer H线,导出了恒星星族年龄的上限。在此约束下,采用最小{chi}^2方法,将恒星星族模型拟合到0.44~5.8 μ m的SED观测值。我们发现以下属性。恒星群的年龄为40 - 200百万年,金属丰度为2.5 Z_{sun}。星光变红,E(B-V)= 0.8。变红是由前景的尘埃屏造成的,表明星爆点的尘埃已经耗尽,星爆点被尘埃壳层包围。红外(8 - 1000 μ m)光度为L_{ir} = 1.78 +/-0.63 * 10 ^{12} L_{sun}。这比从观测到的星光中预期的要大两倍,这表明要么1/2的星暴位置在紫外光波长下完全被遮蔽,要么1/2的L_{ir}来自活动星系核的辐射。推断的尘埃质量为2.0 +/-1.0 * 10^8 M_{sun}。这足以在星系周围形成一个光学深度E(B-V)= 0.8的壳层。从我们最好的恒星星族模型--一个年龄为4000万年的瞬时星暴,我们推断出每年19颗超新星(SNe)的速率。简单的分析模型意味着,当气体质量减少到星系质量的30%时,恒星中的Z_{sun}达到2.5 Z_{sun}。此时气体金属含量为4.8 Z_{sun}。气体与粉尘的质量比为120 +/-73。推断的粉尘产生率为0.24 +/-0.12 M_{sun}/SN。如果1/2的L_{ir}来自活动星系核的发射,则每个SN的M_{sun}比率为0.48 +/-0.24 M_{sun}。我们讨论了SST J1604 + 4304的恒星质量和星系风的其他星系人口的演化联系。

英文摘要:

We present the detailed optical to far-infrared observations of SST J1604+4304, an ULIRG at z = 1.135. Analyzing the stellar absorption lines, namely, the CaII H & K and Balmer H lines in the optical spectrum, we derive the upper limits of an age for the stellar population. Given this constraint, the minimum {chi}^2 method is used to fit the stellar population models to the observed SED from 0.44 to 5.8um. We find the following properties. The stellar population has an age 40 - 200 Myr with a metallicity 2.5 Z_{sun}. The starlight is reddened by E(B-V) = 0.8. The reddening is caused by the foreground dust screen, indicating that dust is depleted in the starburst site and the starburst site is surrounded by a dust shell. The infrared (8-1000um) luminosity is L_{ir} = 1.78 +/- 0.63 * 10^{12} L_{sun}. This is two times greater than that expected from the observed starlight, suggesting either that 1/2 of the starburst site is completely obscured at UV-optical wavelengths, or that 1/2 of L_{ir} comes from AGN emission. The inferred dust mass is 2.0 +/- 1.0 * 10^8 M_{sun}. This is sufficient to form a shell surrounding the galaxy with an optical depth E(B-V) = 0.8. From our best stellar population model - an instantaneous starburst with an age 40 Myr, we infer the rate of 19 supernovae(SNe) per year. Simply analytical models imply that 2.5 Z_{sun} in stars was reached when the gas mass reduced to 30% of the galaxy mass. The gas metallcity is 4.8 Z_{sun} at this point. The gas-to-dust mass ratio is then 120 +/- 73. The inferred dust production rate is 0.24 +/- 0.12 M_{sun} per SN. If 1/2 of L_{ir} comes from AGN emission, the rate is 0.48 +/- 0.24 M_{sun} per SN. We discuss the evolutionary link of SST J1604+4304 to other galaxy populations in terms of the stellar masses and the galactic winds.
