摘要:

亚毫米星系(SMG)代表了一个尘埃遮蔽的高红移人口正在经历大规模的恒星形成活动。它们的性质和空间密度表明,它们可能演化成居住在星系团中的球状星系。在本文中,我们报告了在COSMOS场中用马克斯普朗克毫米波测辐射热计相机(MAMBO)检测到的三个SMG位置中心发现的致密(~10“-20”)星系过密度。这些关联在统计学上是显著的。这些结构中星系的光度红移与它们相关的SMG一致;它们都在z=1.4-2.5之间,这意味着超密度的物理尺寸约为170 kpc。我们的研究结果表明,在大多数恒星形成的关键时期,在红移范围内,大约30%的无线电识别的明亮SMG形成于星系密度峰值。

英文摘要:

Submillimeter galaxies (SMG) represent a dust-obscured high-redshift population undergoing massive star formation activity. Their properties and space density have suggested that they may evolve into spheroidal galaxies residing in galaxy clusters. In this paper, we report the discovery of compact (~10"-20") galaxy overdensities centered at the position of three SMGs detected with the Max-Planck Millimeter Bolometer camera (MAMBO) in the COSMOS field. These associations are statistically significant. The photometric redshifts of galaxies in these structures are consistent with their associated SMGs; all of them are between z=1.4-2.5, implying projected physical sizes of ~170 kpc for the overdensities. Our results suggest that about 30% of the radio-identified bright SMGs in that redshift range form in galaxy density peaks in the crucial epoch when most stars formed.
