摘要:

最近的观测与GISMO(戈达德-IRAM超导2毫米观测器)2毫米相机揭示了一个检测8角秒远离透镜星系MACS 1149-JD 1在z=9.6。在17.5弧秒的半高宽GISMO光束中,这个探测与高红移星系的位置一致,因此,如果得到证实,这个物体可以被称为是产生大量尘埃的最年轻的星系。我们提出了更高的分辨率(8.5角秒)的观测,该系统与AzTEC 1.1毫米相机安装在大型毫米望远镜阿方索塞拉诺。在MACS 1149-JD 1位置未检测到r.m.s. 0.17 mJy/梁。然而,我们发现一个检测~ 11弧秒远离MACS 1149-JD 1,仍然在GISMO光束,这是一致的关联到GISMO源。结合AzTEC和GISMO测光,以及Herschel的辅助数据,我们得到了该尘埃星系的z_phot= 0.7-1.6。因此,我们得出结论,GISMO和AzTEC检测与MACS 1149-JD 1无关。由于没有探测到MACS 1149-JD 1,我们得出了以下(3 σ)上限,该上限已对引力透镜放大率和宇宙微波背景效应进行了校正:尘埃质量< 1.6 x 10^7 M太阳,红外光度< 8 x 10^10 L太阳,恒星形成率< 14 M太阳/年,紫外线衰减< 2.7 mag.这些限制是可比的深阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米阵列(ALMA)观测其他高红移星系。

英文摘要:

Recent observations with the GISMO (Goddard-IRAM Superconducting 2 Millimeter Observer) 2 mm camera revealed a detection 8 arcsec away from the lensed galaxy MACS1149-JD1 at z=9.6. Within the 17.5 arcsec FWHM GISMO beam, this detection is consistent with the position of the high-redshift galaxy and therefore, if confirmed, this object could be claimed to be the youngest galaxy producing significant quantities of dust. We present higher resolution (8.5 arcsec) observations of this system taken with the AzTEC 1.1 mm camera mounted on the Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano. Dust continuum emission at the position of MACS1149-JD1 is not detected with an r.m.s. of 0.17 mJy/beam. However, we find a detection ~ 11 arcsec away from MACS1149-JD1, still within the GISMO beam which is consistent with an association to the GISMO source. Combining the AzTEC and GISMO photometry, together with Herschel ancillary data, we derive a z_phot= 0.7-1.6 for the dusty galaxy. We conclude therefore that the GISMO and AzTEC detections are not associated with MACS1149-JD1. From the non-detection of MACS1149-JD1 we derive the following (3 σ) upper limits corrected for gravitational lensing magnification and for cosmic microwave background effects: dust mass < 1.6 x 10^7 M_sun, IR luminosity < 8 x 10^10 L_sun, star formation rate < 14 M_sun/yr, and UV attenuation < 2.7 mag. These limits are comparable to those derived for other high-redshift galaxies from deep Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations.
