摘要:

我们报告了在银河系高纬度(b \geq 30°)对WISE选定的目标样本进行光谱测量的结果,这些目标按WISE W1(λ_eff = 3.4 \mum)通量分组,我们用它来表征WISE检测到的源。我们观察了762个目标,在10个不相交的领域为中心的超亮红外星系(ULIRG)的候选人使用的DEIMOS摄谱仪凯克II。对于W1 \geq 120 \muJy的样本,我们发现0.30 \pm 0.02角分^-2的星系,其红移中值为z=0.33 \pm 0.01。在我们的调查中,同一样本的前景恒星密度范围从0.23 \pm 0.07 arcmin^(-2)到1.1 \pm 0.1 arcmin^(-2)。我们获得的光谱产生科学级红移\geq 90%的目标源与W1通量\geq 120 \muJy,也有i带通量\geq 18 \muJy。我们用于确定2010年8月团队可用的非常初步的数据缩减。因此,我们的研究结果提出了一个保守的估计是什么可能实现使用WISE的初步数据发布的研究领域的星系。

英文摘要:

We report on the results of an optical spectroscopic survey at high Galactic latitude (b\geq30°) of a sample of WISE-selected targets, grouped by WISE W1 (λ_eff = 3.4 \mum) flux, which we use to characterize the sources WISE detected. We observed 762 targets in 10 disjoint fields centered on ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) candidates using the DEIMOS spectrograph on Keck II. We find 0.30 \pm 0.02 galaxies arcmin^-2 with a median redshift of z=0.33 \pm 0.01 for the sample with W1 \geq 120 \muJy. The foreground stellar densities in our survey range from 0.23 \pm 0.07 arcmin^(-2) to 1.1 \pm 0.1 arcmin^(-2) for the same sample. We obtained spectra that produced science grade redshifts for \geq 90% of our targets for sources with W1 flux \geq 120 \muJy that also had i-band flux \geq 18 \muJy. We used for targeting very preliminary data reductions available to the team in August of 2010. Our results therefore present a conservative estimate of what is possible to achieve using WISE's Preliminary Data Release for the study of field galaxies.
