摘要:

我们比较了各种恒星形成率(SFR)指标的恒星形成星系在$1.4<z<2.5$在COSMOS领域。主要的重点是从远红外(PACS-Herschel数据)与那些从紫外,根据BzK标准选择的星系的SFR。FIR选择的样本导致SFR-恒星质量($M_*$)关系的斜率有很大不同,与从UV测量的占主导地位的主序种群相比,因为FIR选择主要只挑选少数离群值。然而,当在PACS地图上叠加BzK选择的星系时,两个SFR指标得出的主要序列之间存在总体一致性。得到的SFR-{ $M_*$ }关系的对数斜率为$\sim0.8-0.9$,与由尘埃校正的紫外光度得出的结果一致。利用更深的24 $μ$ m-Spitzer数据,我们的特点是一个子样本的星系与红化和SFR约束不良,因为他们是非常暗淡的$B$带。赫歇尔与斯皮策数据的结合使我们能够通过区分星系在B-z中是否因为严重尘埃变红而非常红色,或者是否因为恒星形成而在很大程度上打破这些有趣来源的年龄/变红简并性。已经(或正在)被熄灭。最后,我们比较了我们的SFR(UV)的SFR通过堆叠的无线电数据和那些来自的恒星形成星系的样本在$1.4<z<1.7$的H $α$光度。这两组SFR大致一致,因为它们与从UV导出的SFR以及通过将对应的PACS数据堆叠在各种质量箱中导出的SFR一致。

英文摘要:

We compare various star formation rate (SFR) indicators for star-forming galaxies at $1.4<z<2.5$ in the COSMOS field. The main focus is on the SFRs from the far-IR (PACS-Herschel data) with those from the ultraviolet, for galaxies selected according to the BzK criterion. FIR-selected samples lead to a vastly different slope of the SFR-stellar mass ($M_*$) relation, compared to that of the dominant main sequence population as measured from the UV, since the FIR selection picks predominantly only a minority of outliers. However, there is overall agreement between the main sequences derived with the two SFR indicators, when stacking on the PACS maps the BzK-selected galaxies. The resulting logarithmic slope of the SFR-{$M_*$} relation is $\sim0.8-0.9$, in agreement with that derived from the dust-corrected UV-luminosity. Exploiting deeper 24$μ$m-Spitzer data we have characterized a sub-sample of galaxies with reddening and SFRs poorly constrained, as they are very faint in the $B$ band. The combination of Herschel with Spitzer data have allowed us to largely break the age/reddening degeneracy for these intriguing sources, by distinguishing whether a galaxy is very red in B-z because of being heavily dust reddened, or whether because star formation has been (or is being) quenched. Finally, we have compared our SFR(UV) to the SFRs derived by stacking the radio data and to those derived from the H$α$ luminosity of a sample of star-forming galaxies at $1.4<z<1.7$. The two sets of SFRs are broadly consistent as they are with the SFRs derived from the UV and by stacking the corresponding PACS data in various mass bins.
