We present the detection of bright [CII] emission in the z=4.76 submillimetre galaxy LESS J033229.4-275619 using the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment. This represents the highest redshift [CII] detection in a submm selected, star-formation dominated system. The AGN contributions to the [CII] and far-infrared (FIR) luminosities are small. We find an atomic mass derived from [CII] comparable to the molecular mass derived from CO. The ratio of the [CII], CO and FIR luminosities imply a radiation field strength G_0~10^3 and a density ~10^4 cm^-3 in a kpc-scale starburst, as seen in local and high redshift starbursts. The high L_[CII]/L_FIR=2.4x10^-3 and the very high L_[CII]/L_CO(1-0) ~ 10^4 are reminiscent of low metallicity dwarf galaxies, suggesting that the highest redshift star-forming galaxies may also be characterised by lower metallicities. We discuss the implications of a reduced metallicity on studies of the gas reservoirs, and conclude that especially at very high redshift, [CII] may be a more powerful and reliable tracer of the interstellar matter than CO.
Shock-Enhanced C+ Emission and the Detection of H2O from Stephan's Quintet's Group-Wide Shock using Herschel
我们首次用赫歇尔光谱探测到了[OI]63和[CII]158微米的精细结构跃迁,以及斯蒂芬五重奏中35 x 15 kpc^2的受激星系际暗条中的一条para-H2O谱线。这条暗条被认为是当一个高速入侵者与星团内气体碰撞时形成的。PACS光谱仪的观测提供了宽(> 1000 km s^-1)的发光[CII]谱线轮廓以及较暗的[OI] 63微米发射的证据。SPIRE FTS观测揭示了细丝中几个位置的p-H2O(111-000)跃迁的水发射,但没有其他分子线。H2O谱线很窄,可能与密度较大的中速气体经历最强的冲击加热有关。[CII]/PAH(tot)和[CII]/FIR比率太大,无法通过PDR中的正常光电加热来解释。也可以排除HII区激发或X射线/宇宙射线加热。观测结果得出的结论是,大部分分子气体是扩散和温暖的。我们建议,[CII],[OI]和暖H2线的发射是由一个湍流级联,其中的动能从星系碰撞与IGM耗散到小尺度和低速度,通过冲击和湍流涡旋。低速磁震可以帮助解释[CII]/[OI]比值和观察到的相对较高的[CII]/H2比值。发现[CII]发射可以增强,在大规模的湍流区域的碰撞环境中的影响的解释[CII]发射在高z星系。
