摘要:

我们调查的起源远红外连续SDSS J1148+5251,使用它作为一个原型,更一般的高光度高红移类星体。我们运行辐射转移代码TRADING来跟踪来自中心源和恒星源的辐射通过宿主星系的尘埃环境的转移。该模型基于半分析合并树代码GAMETE/QSOdust的输出,该代码能够预测宿主星系及其核黑洞的演化,遵循SDSS J1148+5251所有祖星系的恒星形成历史和化学演化-包括尘埃。我们发现,中心源发出的辐射也可以为分布在宿主星系中的尘埃提供重要的加热源,在静止帧波长[20 - 1000]微米处为观测到的远红外辐射提供至少30%至70%的能量。剩下的部分是由恒星源贡献的,并且只有当宿主星系能够在z=6.4时维持约900 Msun/yr的恒星形成率时才能实现。这表明了一种共同进化的情景,在它们的分级组装过程中,第一个SMBH和它们的宿主星系首先以相同的速度增长,直到黑洞达到~ 2 10^8 Msun的质量,并开始比它的宿主星系增长得更快,当黑洞和恒星质量落在局部星系中观察到的标度关系的散射范围内时,达到明亮的类星体阶段。同样的演化情景最近被证明可以解释更大样本的5 < z <6.4类星体的性质,并意味着目前的动力学质量测量可能错过了宿主星系恒星质量的重要部分。我们的结论是FIR光度的高Z类星体是一个敏感的示踪剂的快速变化的物理条件在宿主星系。

英文摘要:

We investigate the origin of the FIR continuum of SDSS J1148+5251, using it as a prototype for the more general class of high-luminosity high-redshift QSOs. We run the radiative transfer code TRADING to follow the transfer of radiation from the central source and from stellar sources through the dusty environment of the host galaxy. The model is based on the output of the semi-analytical merger tree code, GAMETE/QSOdust, which enables to predict the evolution of the host galaxy and of its nuclear black hole, following the star formation history and chemical evolution -- including dust -- in all the progenitor galaxies of SDSS J1148+5251. We find that the radiation emitted by the central source can also provide an important source of heating for the dust distributed in the host galaxy, powering at least 30% and up to 70% of the observed far infrared emission at rest-frame wavelengths [20 - 1000]micron. The remaining fraction is contributed by stellar sources and can only be achieved if the host galaxy is able to sustain a star formation rate of ~ 900 Msun/yr at z=6.4. This points to a co-evolution scenario where, during their hierarchical assembly, the first SMBHs and their host galaxies first grow at the same pace until the black hole reaches a mass of ~ 2 10^8 Msun and starts growing faster than its host, reaching the bright quasar phase when the black hole and stellar mass fall within the scatter of the scaling relation observed in local galaxies. This same evolutionary scenario has been recently shown to explain the properties of a larger sample of 5 < z <6.4 QSOs, and imply that current dynamical mass measurements may have missed an important fraction of the host galaxy stellar mass. We conclude that the FIR luminosity of high-z quasars is a sensitive tracer of the rapidly changing physical conditions in the host galaxy.
