摘要:

我们报告观测Lyman Alpha Blob 1(LAB 1)在SSA 22原星团区域(z=3.09)与积分场摄谱仪SAURON。与我们以前的观测结果相比,我们将光谱中的信噪比提高了三倍以上。这使我们能够详细地探测LAB系统的结构,检查其在空间和波长维度上的结构。我们发现,从系统的排放主要来自五个不同的斑点。其中两个发射区与莱曼破裂星系有关,而第三个似乎与一个严重模糊的亚毫米星系有关。第四和第五个组成部分似乎与任何星系都没有联系,尽管在这个领域可以获得深度成像。如果我们将谱线质心的波长变化解释为下层气体的速度结构,那么许多发射系统都显示出速度切变的证据。很难区分气体的潜在旋转和由中心物体驱动的外流。我们已经检查了所有的线轮廓的强吸收功能的证据。虽然有几个系统通过包含弱吸收成分而更好地拟合,但我们没有看到LAB2中所见的大规模相干吸收特征的证据。

英文摘要:

We report observations of Lyman Alpha Blob 1 (LAB1) in the SSA 22 protocluster region (z=3.09) with the integral-field spectrograph SAURON. We increased the signal-to-noise in the spectra by more than a factor three compared to our previous observations. This allows us to probe the structure of the LAB system in detail, examining its structure in the spatial and wavelength dimensions. We find that the emission from the system comes largely from five distinct blobs. Two of the emission regions are associated with Lyman Break Galaxies, while a third appears to be associated with a heavily obscured submillimeter galaxy. The fourth and fifth components do not appear to be associated with any galaxy despite the deep imaging that is available in this field. If we interpret wavelength shifts in the line centroid as velocity structure in the underlying gas, many of these emission systems show evidence of velocity shear. It remains difficult to distinguish between an underlying rotation of the gas and an outflow driven by the central object. We have examined all of the line profiles for evidence of strong absorption features. While several systems are better fitted by the inclusion of a weak absorption component, we do not see evidence for a large-scale coherent absorption feature such as that seen in LAB2.
