摘要:

我们提供了20个S(1.2mm)> 2 mJy的z ~ 2星暴的SHARC-2 350 μ m数据,它们来自Lonsdale等人和Fiolet等人的Spitzer选择的样品,所有的源都被探测到,其中18个源的S(350 μ m)> 25 mJy。有了这些数据,我们确定精确的尘埃温度和光度为这些星系使用单温度拟合和模型与幂律质量-温度分布。我们推导出当光学深度不可忽略时使用的适当公式。我们的模型提供了一个很好的适合于6 μ m-2 mm的局部星爆测量。我们发现SWIRE选择的源的特征单组分温度T1 ~ 35.5+-2.2 K,积分红外(IR)光度约为10^(12.9+-0.1)Lsun。分子气体的质量估计为4 x 10^(10)Msun,假设kappa(850 um)=0.15 m^2/kg,气体与尘埃的质量比类似于亚毫米选择星系(SMG)。最佳拟合模型意味着>~ 2kpc的排放尺度。我们还注意到,休息帧1.4 GHz的无线电和红外光度确认恒星形成的主要电源之间的紧密相关性。我们样本的远红外特性与当前调查中纯亚毫米级选择的人群没有区别。因此,我们得出结论,我们原来的选择标准,基于中红外颜色和24 μ m的通量密度,提供了一个有效的手段,在z ~ 1.5- 2.5的SMG的研究。

英文摘要:

We present SHARC-2 350 micron data on 20 luminous z ~ 2 starbursts with S(1.2mm) > 2 mJy from the Spitzer-selected samples of Lonsdale et al. and Fiolet et al. All the sources were detected, with S(350um) > 25 mJy for 18 of them. With the data, we determine precise dust temperatures and luminosities for these galaxies using both single-temperature fits and models with power-law mass--temperature distributions. We derive appropriate formulae to use when optical depths are non-negligible. Our models provide an excellent fit to the 6um--2mm measurements of local starbursts. We find characteristic single-component temperatures T1 ~ 35.5+-2.2 K and integrated infrared (IR) luminosities around 10^(12.9+-0.1) Lsun for the SWIRE-selected sources. Molecular gas masses are estimated at 4 x 10^(10) Msun, assuming kappa(850um)=0.15 m^2/kg and a submillimeter-selected galaxy (SMG)-like gas-to-dust mass ratio. The best-fit models imply >~2 kpc emission scales. We also note a tight correlation between rest-frame 1.4 GHz radio and IR luminosities confirming star formation as the predominant power source. The far-IR properties of our sample are indistinguishable from the purely submillimeter-selected populations from current surveys. We therefore conclude that our original selection criteria, based on mid-IR colors and 24 um flux densities, provides an effective means for the study of SMGs at z ~ 1.5--2.5.
