摘要:

我们希望通过中红外光谱分析,结合毫米波、射电和红外测光,研究z~2处24 μ m源的中红外特性以及对星暴和活动星系核的贡献。中红外光谱使我们能够恢复准确的红移。选取了16个z~2星爆(“5.8 μ m峰”)的Spitzer选择源(ULIRG),在0.5 sq.deg. J1064+56 SWIRE Lockman孔字段。这些源的S(24 μ m)>0.5mJy,恒星发射峰红移到5.8 μ m,r '(织女星)>23。用Spitzer/IRS红外光谱仪的低分辨率单元观察整个样品。这些源具有IRAM 30 m/MAMBO的1.2 mm观测值和VLA的非常深的20 cm观测值。我们的九个源也受益于CSO/SHARC-II的350 um观测和探测。整个样品显示出由强PAH特征主导的良好质量的IRS光谱。6.2、7.7、8.6和11.3 μ m处的主要PAH特征具有高的S/N平均光度,分别为2.90、10.38、3.62和2.29x10^{10}Lsun。我们得到了精确的红移范围从1.75到2.28。这些红移的平均值是2.017。这一结果证实了“5.8 μ m峰”的选择标准与24 μ m的强探测相关联,是选择z~2源的可靠标准。分析了PAH辐射与红外、毫米波和射电辐射的不同相关性。实际上,我们所有的辐射源都强烈地受到星暴辐射的支配。我们还定义了两个基于7.7 μ m等效宽度的子样本来研究活动星系核的贡献。我们的样本包含强烈的星爆,代表了一个特别明亮的24微米级的SMG。PAH和远红外光度之间非常好的相关性现在被证实在高Z星暴ULIRGs。这些源显示出活动星系核对中红外线的贡献很小,在大多数情况下约为20%。

英文摘要:

We want to study the mid-infrared properties and the starburst and AGN contributions, of 24um sources at z~2, through analysis of mid-infrared spectra combined with millimeter, radio, and infrared photometry. Mid-infrared spectroscopy allows us to recover accurate redshifts. A complete sample of 16 Spitzer-selected sources (ULIRGs) believed to be starbursts at z~2 ("5.8um-peakers") was selected in the (0.5 sq.deg.) J1064+56 SWIRE Lockman Hole field. These sources have S(24um)>0.5mJy, a stellar emission peak redshifted to 5.8um, and r'(Vega)>23. The entire sample was observed with the low resolution units of the Spitzer/IRS infrared spectrograph. These sources have 1.2mm observations with IRAM 30m/MAMBO and very deep 20cm observations from the VLA. Nine of our sources also benefit from 350um observation and detection from CSO/SHARC-II. The entire sample shows good quality IRS spectra dominated by strong PAH features. The main PAH features at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, and 11.3um have high S/N average luminosities of 2.90, 10.38, 3.62, and 2.29x10^{10}Lsun, respectively. We derived accurate redshifts spanning from 1.75 to 2.28. The average of these redshifts is 2.017. This result confirms that the selection criteria of "5.8um-peakers" associated with a strong detection at 24um are reliable to select sources at z~2. We have analyzed the different correlations between PAH emission and infrared, millimeter, and radio emission. Practically all our sources are strongly dominated by starburst emission. We have also defined two subsamples based on the equivalent width at 7.7um to investigate AGN contributions. Our sample contains strong starbursts and represents a particularly 24um-bright class of SMGs. The very good correlation between PAH and far-IR luminosities is now confirmed in high-z starburst ULIRGs. These sources show a small AGN contribution to the mid-IR, around ~20% in most cases.
