摘要:

我们提出了一个样本的1317个微弱的无线电源(IFRS),第一次,可靠地检测到红外线,产生交叉相关的宽视场红外巡天探测器(WISE)的所有天空调查与主要的无线电调查。我们的IFRS在无线电和红外线上都比斯皮策太空望远镜在红外线上未探测到的第一代IFRS更亮。我们给出了IFRS的第一光谱红移,发现除了一个IFRS光谱外,所有的IFRS都有z > 2。我们还报告了IFRS的第一个X射线对应物,并提出了无线电频谱和偏振的分析,并表明它们包括千兆赫兹峰频谱,紧凑陡峭频谱和超陡峭频谱源。这些结果,连同它们的WISE红外颜色和射电形态,意味着我们的IFRS样本代表了z > 2的射电大声活动星系核的种群。我们的结论是,我们的样本包括较低的红移对应的极端的第一代国际财务报告准则,这表明较暗的国际财务报告准则是在更高的红移。

英文摘要:

We present a sample of 1317 Infrared-Faint Radio Sources (IFRSs) that, for the first time, are reliably detected in the infrared, generated by cross-correlating the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) all-sky survey with major radio surveys. Our IFRSs are brighter in both radio and infrared than the first generation IFRSs that were undetected in the infrared by the Spitzer Space Telescope. We present the first spectroscopic redshifts of IFRSs, and find that all but one of the IFRSs with spectroscopy has z > 2. We also report the first X-ray counterparts of IFRSs, and present an analysis of radio spectra and polarization, and show that they include Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum, Compact Steep Spectrum, and Ultra-Steep Spectrum sources. These results, together with their WISE infrared colours and radio morphologies, imply that our sample of IFRSs represents a population of radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei at z > 2. We conclude that our sample consists of lower-redshift counterparts of the extreme first generation IFRSs, suggesting that the fainter IFRSs are at even higher redshift.
