Isak G. B. Wold, Amy J. Barger, Lennox L. Cowie

摘要:

利用一种新的数据立方体搜索方法,从银河演化探测器(GALEX)的棱晶数据中构造了一个包含135个候选z~1 Lya发射体(LAEs)的通量受限样本。这些LAE的亮度相当于那些在高红移和谎言在现有的LAE样品中存在的7 Gyr差距。我们使用档案和新获得的光谱来验证这些LAEs的紫外红移。我们使用的GALEX紫外光谱,光学光谱和X射线成像数据的组合来估计的活动星系核(AGN)的分数和它的依赖Lya光度。我们从60个z~1 LAE星系中剔除活动星系核,计算了它们的光度函数.我们发现,最佳拟合LF意味着从z~0.3到z~1光度密度增加约1.5倍,从z~1到z~2增加约20倍。我们发现z~1体积Lya逃逸分数为0.7+/-0.4%。

英文摘要:

We construct a flux-limited sample of 135 candidate z~1 Lya emitters (LAEs) from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) grism data using a new data cube search method. These LAEs have luminosities comparable to those at high redshifts and lie within a 7 Gyr gap present in existing LAE samples. We use archival and newly obtained optical spectra to verify the UV redshifts of these LAEs. We use the combination of the GALEX UV spectra, optical spectra, and X-ray imaging data to estimate the active galactic nucleus (AGN) fraction and its dependence on Lya luminosity. We remove the AGNs and compute the luminosity function (LF) from 60 z~1 LAE galaxies. We find that the best fit LF implies a luminosity density increase by a factor of ~1.5 from z~0.3 to z~1 and ~20 from z~1 to z~2. We find a z~1 volumetric Lya escape fraction of 0.7+/-0.4%.
