在这封信中,我们报告了CO通量的发现,这表明在附近的宇宙(z ~ 0.1)中看到的三个盘状星系中有非常高的气体分数。这些星系是作为新组装大质量天体动力学(DYNAMICS of Newly Assembled Massive Objects)调查的一部分进行研究的。哈勃太空望远镜对这些天体的高分辨率成像揭示了星系体内存在大型恒星形成团块,而红移的H α空间分辨光谱揭示了高色散旋转盘的存在。这些星系的内部动力学状态类似于在更高的红移(1 < z < 3)下看到的盘系统。利用Plateau de Bure干涉仪对CO(1-0)的观测,我们发现气体分数为20-30%,耗尽时间为tdep ~ 0.5 Gyr(假设一个类似银河系的CO转换因子)。这些性质不同于那些具有可比的特定恒星形成率的低红移星系的预期性质,但它们对于高z星系是正常的。星系的气体分数和红移之间的简并打破,我们表明,耗尽时间每特定的恒星形成率的星系是密切相关的气体分数,独立的红移。我们还表明,我们的两个本地目标的气体动力学对应于那些预期从不稳定的磁盘,再次类似于高Z磁盘的动态。这些结果提供的证据表明,星系是本地类似的cloudos,湍流盘,这是经常发现在高红移。
英文摘要:
In this letter we report the discovery of CO fluxes, suggesting very high gas fractions in three disk galaxies seen in the nearby Universe (z ~ 0.1). These galaxies were investigated as part of the DYnamics of Newly Assembled Massive Objects (DYNAMO) survey. High-resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging of these objects reveals the presence of large star forming clumps in the bodies of the galaxies, while spatially resolved spectroscopy of redshifted Halpha reveals the presence of high dispersion rotating disks. The internal dynamical state of these galaxies resembles that of disk systems seen at much higher redshifts (1 < z < 3). Using CO(1-0) observations made with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer, we find gas fractions of 20-30% and depletion times of tdep ~ 0.5 Gyr (assuming a Milky Way-like CO conversion factor). These properties are unlike those expected for low- redshift galaxies of comparable specific star formation rate, but they are normal for their high-z counterparts. DYNAMO galaxies break the degeneracy between gas fraction and redshift, and we show that the depletion time per specific star formation rate for galaxies is closely tied to gas fraction, independent of redshift. We also show that the gas dynamics of two of our local targets corresponds to those expected from unstable disks, again resembling the dynamics of high-z disks. These results provide evidence that DYNAMO galaxies are local analogues to the clumpy, turbulent disks, which are often found at high redshift.

Young and turbulent: the early life of massive galaxy progenitors
我们目前的结果从“波诺斯”模拟套件的早期演化的大规模,$M_{\rm vir}(z=0)=1.2\times 10^{13}$ M $_{\odot}$星系。在$z\gtrsim6$,在来自中央超大质量黑洞的反馈成为主导之前,主星系的恒星质量为$\sim 2\times 10^{9}$ M $_{\odot}$,恒星形成速率为$\sim 20$ M $_{\odot}$ yr $^{-1}$。该星系位于预期的恒星形成星系的主要序列附近,在这些红移中,类似于$z>5$观察到的中等恒星形成系统。高比恒星形成率导致超新星反馈对气体的剧烈加热和搅拌,星系发展出一个厚而湍流的盘,气体速度色散为$\sim 40$ km s $^{-1}$,旋转与色散比为$\sim 2$,在$\sim 10^5$ K下有大量气体。Toomre参数总是超过重力湍流的临界值$Q\sim 1.5-2$,这主要是由于盘内暖/热气体的贡献。在没有反馈的情况下,一个接近重力湍流的制度建立了类似的气体速度分散和较低的$Q$。我们建议,在我们的模拟中看到的“热和动荡”盘制度,不像“冷和动荡”的大规模cloudspiral盘星系在$z\sim 1-2$的重力湍流制度,是一个基本的特点,主序星星系在$z\gtrsim 6$,因为它们可以维持恒星形成率相媲美的低质量恒星爆发在$z=0$。这导致没有持续的相干气体流入盘,并在波动和各向…

极红类星体,其热光度超过$10^{47}$ erg s $^{-1}$,是一个迷人的高红移群体,在本地宇宙中不存在。它们是超大质量黑洞以爱丁顿极限或以上的速率吸积的最佳候选者,并且它们与迄今为止已知的最快速和最强大的电离气体流出有关。它们也是大质量星系的宿主。在这里,我们提出了第一个积分场单位(IFU)的观测高红移类星体的近红外光谱仪(NIRSpec)上的詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜(JWST),目标SDSSJ 165202.64 +172852.3,一个非常红的类星体在$z=2.94$。JWST观测揭示了扩展的电离气体-如[OIII] $λ$ 5007所追踪的-在类星体的宿主星系,其流出物和环星系介质中。复杂的形态学和运动学意味着类星体居住在一个非常密集的环境中,在10-15 kpc的投影距离内有几个相互作用的同伴星系。环境的高密度和伴随星系的大速度表明,这个系统可能代表了一个正在形成的星系团的核心。该系统是两个或多个暗物质晕合并的良好候选者,每个暗物质晕的质量为几个$10^{13}$ M $_\odot$,并可能追踪到$z\sim3$处的一个暗物质结。
