摘要:

我们已经获得了深近红外窄和宽(J和Y)波段成像数据的GOODS-South领域。窄带滤光片的中心位于1060 nm,分别对应于强发射线H $α$、$[$ OIII $]$ /H $β$和$[$ OII $]$的红移$z = 0.62, 1.15, 1.85$。从这些数据中,我们提取了一个定义良好的样本($M(AB)=24.8$在窄带)的对象具有大的发射线等效宽度在窄带。通过SED适合公布的宽带数据,我们确定我们已经检测到的三条线,并相应地分配红移。这导致在一个很好的定义,强发射线选择样品的星系下降到较低的质量比可以很容易地获得只有连续通量有限的选择技术。我们比较(SED拟合派生)的主要序列的恒星形成(MS)我们的样本以前的作品,发现它有一个陡峭的斜率比更大质量的星系的样本。我们的结论是MS在较低(低于$M_{\star} = 10^{9.4} M_{\odot}$)的星系质量变陡。我们还表明,在任何红移的SFR是在我们的样本更高。我们把这归因于有针对性的选择与大的发射线等效宽度的星系,并得出结论,我们的样品大概形成了MS的上边界。我们简要地调查和概述了如何准确的红移到那些低恒星质量的样品打开一个新的窗口,研究形成大尺度结构在早期宇宙。特别是,我们报告在$z=1.85$的一个年轻的星系团的检测功能的中央大质量星系,这是一个早期阶段的cD星系的候选人,我们确定了一个可能的灯丝绘制的$[$ OIII $]$和$Hβ$发射星系在$z=1.15$。

英文摘要:

We have obtained deep NIR narrow and broad (J and Y) band imaging data of the GOODS-South field. The narrow band filter is centered at 1060 nm corresponding to redshifts $z = 0.62, 1.15, 1.85$ for the strong emission lines H$α$, $[$OIII$]$/H$β$ and $[$OII$]$, respectively. From those data we extract a well defined sample ($M(AB)=24.8$ in the narrow band) of objects with large emission line equivalent widths in the narrow band. Via SED fits to published broad band data we identify which of the three lines we have detected and assign redshifts accordingly. This results in a well defined, strong emission line selected sample of galaxies down to lower masses than can easily be obtained with only continuum flux limited selection techniques. We compare the (SED fitting-derived) main sequence of star-formation (MS) of our sample to previous works and find that it has a steeper slope than that of samples of more massive galaxies. We conclude that the MS steepens at lower (below $M_{\star} = 10^{9.4} M_{\odot}$) galaxy masses. We also show that the SFR at any redshift is higher in our sample. We attribute this to the targeted selection of galaxies with large emission line equivalent widths, and conclude that our sample presumably forms the upper boundary of the MS. We briefly investigate and outline how samples with accurate redshifts down to those low stellar masses open a new window to study the formation of large scale structure in the early universe. In particular we report on the detection of a young galaxy cluster at $z=1.85$ which features a central massive galaxy which is the candidate of an early stage cD galaxy, and we identify a likely filament mapped out by $[$OIII$]$ and $Hβ$ emitting galaxies at $z=1.15$.
