摘要:

我们发现,在高红移发光和超亮红外星系(LIRGs和ULIRGs)和亚毫米星系(SMGs)的恒星形成区域具有类似的物理尺度的本地正常恒星形成星系。对于第一级,它们的较高红外(IR)光度是由较高的光度表面密度造成的。我们还发现,在从本地正常星系到z ~ 2 SMG的五个数量级以上的红外光度范围内,星暴星系的红外光度与红外光度面密度之间存在着良好的相关性。局部ULIRGs的恒星形成区域明显小于高红移对应的区域,因此与这种相关性有很大的差异,这表明局部ULIRGs与高红移ULIRGs和SMGs是不同的群体。基于这种关系,我们建议,光度面密度应作为一个更准确的指标,红外发射环境,因此可观察到的属性,恒星形成星系比他们的红外光度。我们证明了这种方法,在z ~ 1的ULIRGs和透镜星系在z ~ 2.5表现出芳香族的功能同意本地LIRGs是一个数量级的亮度,但有类似的红外光度表面密度。这种关系的一个结果是,对于给定的红外光度,恒星形成星系中的芳香族发射强度似乎在z > 1时比它们的本地对应星系增加。

英文摘要:

We show that the star-forming regions in high-redshift luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs) and submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) have similar physical scales to those in local normal star-forming galaxies. To first order, their higher infrared (IR) luminosities result from higher luminosity surface density. We also find a good correlation between the IR luminosity and IR luminosity surface density in starburst galaxies across over five orders of magnitude of IR luminosity from local normal galaxies to z ~ 2 SMGs. The intensely star-forming regions of local ULIRGs are significantly smaller than those in their high-redshift counterparts and hence diverge significantly from this correlation, indicating that the ULIRGs found locally are a different population from the high-redshift ULIRGs and SMGs. Based on this relationship, we suggest that luminosity surface density should serve as a more accurate indicator for the IR emitting environment, and hence the observable properties, of star-forming galaxies than their IR luminosity. We demonstrate this approach by showing that ULIRGs at z ~ 1 and a lensed galaxy at z ~ 2.5 exhibit aromatic features agreeing with local LIRGs that are an order of magnitude less luminous, but have similar IR luminosity surface density. A consequence of this relationship is that the aromatic emission strength in star-forming galaxies will appear to increase at z > 1 for a given IR luminosity compared to their local counterparts.
