摘要:

在我们的莱曼连续谱成像巡天过程中,我们发现光谱证实的Lya发射体LAE 221724+001716在SSA 22场中z = 3.10处显示出从该星系逃逸的强烈莱曼连续谱发射(λ_rest ~ 900 A)。然而,另一个最近的光谱调查显示,假设的莱曼连续辐射可能来自z = 1.76的前景星系,如果在λ_obs ~ 3360 A处新检测到的发射线是Lya。如果是这样的话,由于这两个星系之间的角距非常小(~ 0.6”),在z = 3.10的LAE 221724+001716可能会被这个介入星系造成的引力透镜放大。在这里,我们提出了一个可能的引力透镜模型的LAE 221724+001716系统。首先,我们根据其紫外光度估算了居间星系的恒星质量为M星~ 3.5x10^9 Msun,通过SED拟合估算了M星~ 3.0x10^7- 2.4x10^9 Msun。然后,我们发现,引力放大因子的范围从1.01到1.16使用所谓的奇异等温球模型的强透镜。虽然LAE 221724+001716是迄今为止第一个被报道的LAE-LAE透镜系统,但估计的放大因子并不那么重要,因为介入星系的恒星质量很小。

英文摘要:

During the course of our Lyman continuum imaging survey, we found that the spectroscopically confirmed Lya emitter LAE 221724+001716 at z = 3.10 in the SSA 22 field shows strong Lyman continuum emission (lambda_rest ~ 900 A) that escapes from this galaxy. However, another recent spectroscopic survey revealed that the supposed Lyman continuum emission could arise from a foreground galaxy at z = 1.76 if the emission line newly detected from the galaxy at lambda_obs ~ 3360 A is Lya. If this is the case, as the angular separation between these two galaxies is very small (~ 0.6"), LAE 221724+001716 at z = 3.10 could be amplified by the gravitational lensing caused by this intervening galaxy. Here we present a possible gravitational lens model for the system of LAE 221724+001716. First, we estimate the stellar mass of the intervening galaxy as Mstar ~ 3.5x10^9 Msun from its UV luminosity and ~ 3.0x10^7--2.4x10^9 Msun through the SED fitting. Then, we find that the gravitational magnification factor ranges from 1.01 to 1.16 using the so-called singular isothermal sphere model for strong lensing. While LAE 221724+001716 is the first system of an LAE-LAE lensing reported so far, the estimated magnification factor is not so significant because the stellar mass of the intervening galaxy is small.
