摘要:

本文利用在70 $μ$ m和160 $μ$ m处的中值叠加分析,研究了在COSMOS场中直接在24 $μ$ m处探测到的亮红外星系的平均性质。跨越0<z<3和0.06 mJy< S_{24} <3.0 mJy的超过35000个源被堆叠,分成光度红移和24 $μ$ m通量的仓。我们发现$S_{70}/S_{24}$通量密度比与$S_{24}$没有相关性,但发现具有较高$S_{24}$的星系具有较低的$S_{160}/S_{24}$通量密度比。这些观察到的比率表明,24 $μ$ m选定的星系有温暖的SED在较高的中红外线通量,因此有可能较高的AGN的分数。用不同的经验模板和理论模型对平均$S_{70}/S_{24}$和$S_{160}/S_{24}$颜色进行比较,发现在24 $μ$ m处探测到的星系与“正常”恒星形成星系和温暖的中红外星系(如Mrk 231)一致,但与严重遮蔽的星系(如Arp 220)不一致。我们进行了$χ^{2}$分析,以确定最适合的银河系模型SED和总红外光度为我们的每个箱。我们比较我们的结果,以前的方法估计$L_{\rm{IR}}$,并发现以前的方法显示出相当大的协议,在整个红移范围内,除了最亮的$S_{24}$源,以前的方法高估的热红外光度在高红移,最有可能是由于其温暖的尘埃SED。我们提出了一个表,可以用来作为一个更准确和强大的方法,从24 $μ$ m通量密度估计热红外光度。

英文摘要:

We present a study of the average properties of luminous infrared galaxies detected directly at 24 $μ$m in the COSMOS field using a median stacking analysis at 70$μ$m and 160 $μ$m. Over 35000 sources spanning 0<z<3 and 0.06 mJy<S_{24}<3.0 mJy are stacked, divided into bins of both photometric redshift and 24 $μ$m flux. We find no correlation of $S_{70}/S_{24}$ flux density ratio with $S_{24}$, but find that galaxies with higher $S_{24}$ have a lower $S_{160}/S_{24}$ flux density ratio. These observed ratios suggest that 24 $μ$m selected galaxies have warmer SEDs at higher mid-IR fluxes, and therefore have a possible higher fraction of AGN. Comparisons of the average $S_{70}/S_{24}$ and $S_{160}/S_{24}$ colors with various empirical templates and theoretical models show that the galaxies detected at 24 $μ$m are consistent with "normal" star-forming galaxies and warm mid-IR galaxies such as Mrk 231, but inconsistent with heavily obscured galaxies such as Arp 220. We perform a $χ^{2}$ analysis to determine best fit galactic model SEDs and total IR luminosities for each of our bins. We compare our results to previous methods of estimating $L_{\rm{IR}}$ and find that previous methods show considerable agreement over the full redshift range, except for the brightest $S_{24}$ sources, where previous methods overpredict the bolometric IR luminosity at high redshift, most likely due to their warmer dust SED. We present a table that can be used as a more accurate and robust method for estimating bolometric infrared luminosity from 24 $μ$m flux densities.
