摘要:

弱射电源(英语:Radio-faint radiation source,IFRS)是一类在高红移(z > 1.7)的射电强(radio-loud,RL)活动星系核(AGN),其特征是它们的红外线相对较弱,导致高达几千的射电-红外线通量密度比。我们的目标是测试的假设,国际财务报告准则是年轻的活动星系核,特别是GHz的峰值频谱(GPS)和紧凑的陡谱(CSS)的来源,有一个低频率的营业额。我们使用丰富的无线电数据集,可用于澳大利亚望远镜大面积调查领域,覆盖150 MHz和34 GHz之间的频率范围,最多可达19个波段,来自不同的望远镜,并建立无线电频谱能量分布(SED)34国际财务报告准则。然后,我们研究了这类对象的营业额,光谱指数和行为向更高的频率的无线电特性。我们还提出了最高频率的无线电观测的国际财务报告准则,在105 GHz的高原德布尔干涉仪观察,并模拟多波长和无线电远红外SED的这个源。我们发现IFRS通常遵循单次幂定律,直到观察到的150 MHz左右的频率。大多数情况下,无线电SED是陡峭的,但我们也发现超陡峭的SED。特别是,国际财务报告准则显示,在统计上显著陡峭的无线电SED比更广泛的RL AGN人口。我们的分析表明,全球定位系统和CSS源的分数在人口的国际财务报告准则是一致的分数在更广泛的RL AGN人口。我们发现,至少有18%的国际财务报告准则包含年轻的活动星系核,虽然分数可能会显着更高的建议陡峭的SED和紧凑的形态国际财务报告准则。一个国际财务报告准则的详细多波长SED模型表明,它不同于普通的活动星系核,尽管它与恒星形成率为每年170个太阳质量的恒星爆发-活动星系核复合模型一致。

英文摘要:

Infrared-faint radio sources (IFRS) are a class of radio-loud (RL) active galactic nuclei (AGN) at high redshifts (z > 1.7) that are characterised by their relative infrared faintness, resulting in enormous radio-to-infrared flux density ratios of up to several thousand. We aim to test the hypothesis that IFRS are young AGN, particularly GHz peaked-spectrum (GPS) and compact steep-spectrum (CSS) sources that have a low frequency turnover. We use the rich radio data set available for the Australia Telescope Large Area Survey fields, covering the frequency range between 150 MHz and 34 GHz with up to 19 wavebands from different telescopes, and build radio spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 34 IFRS. We then study the radio properties of this class of object with respect to turnover, spectral index, and behaviour towards higher frequencies. We also present the highest-frequency radio observations of an IFRS, observed with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer at 105 GHz, and model the multi-wavelength and radio-far-infrared SED of this source. We find IFRS usually follow single power laws down to observed frequencies of around 150 MHz. Mostly, the radio SEDs are steep, but we also find ultra-steep SEDs. In particular, IFRS show statistically significantly steeper radio SEDs than the broader RL AGN population. Our analysis reveals that the fractions of GPS and CSS sources in the population of IFRS are consistent with the fractions in the broader RL AGN population. We find that at least 18% of IFRS contain young AGN, although the fraction might be significantly higher as suggested by the steep SEDs and the compact morphology of IFRS. The detailed multi-wavelength SED modelling of one IFRS shows that it is different from ordinary AGN, although it is consistent with a composite starburst-AGN model with a star formation rate of 170 solar masses per year.
