摘要:

我们提出了$\simeq$ 0 $.\!\!^{\prime\prime}4$分辨率的恒星形成和尘埃的独立分布在11个恒星形成星系(SFG)在$z = 1.3-3.0$。这些星系是从$2' \times 2'$哈勃超深场的灵敏、空白场巡天中选出的,观测波长为$λ= 5$ cm和1.3 mm。Jansky甚大阵列(VLA)和阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米阵列(ALMA)。它们具有恒星形成率(SFR)、恒星质量和代表$z \sim 2$大质量主序星的尘埃特性。空间分辨的恒星质量图进行形态分类表明磁盘和形态干扰系统的混合物,一半的样品港X射线活动星系核(AGN),从而代表了多样性的$z \sim 2$ SFG进行有力的质量组装。我们发现,他们的激烈的恒星形成最经常发生在恒星质量集中的位置,并延伸到一个区域相当于他们的恒星质量分布,与$4.2 \pm 1.8$ kpc的中位直径。这为遥远的、空白场选择的主序星序SFG中星系范围的恒星形成提供了直接证据。典型的银河系平均SFR表面密度为2.5 M $_{\odot}$ yr $^{-1}$ kpc $^{-2}$,足以驱动外流。在X射线选择的活动星系核中,无线电发射增强到与恒星形成相关的水平,无线电过剩精确地定位了活动星系核,这被发现与恒星形成是共空间的。主序SFG的中值独立的大小是那些明亮的亚毫米星系的SFR是$3-8$倍大的两倍大,提供了一个限制的特征SFR($\sim300$ M $_{\odot}$年$^{-1}$)以上,一个显着的人口更紧凑的恒星形成星系出现。

英文摘要:

We present $\simeq$0$.\!\!^{\prime\prime}4$-resolution extinction-independent distributions of star formation and dust in 11 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at $z = 1.3-3.0$. These galaxies are selected from sensitive, blank-field surveys of the $2' \times 2'$ Hubble Ultra-Deep Field at $λ= 5$ cm and 1.3 mm using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). They have star-formation rates (SFRs), stellar masses, and dust properties representative of massive main-sequence SFGs at $z \sim 2$. Morphological classification performed on spatially-resolved stellar mass maps indicates a mixture of disk and morphologically disturbed systems; half of the sample harbor X-ray active galactic nuclei (AGN), thereby representing a diversity of $z \sim 2$ SFGs undergoing vigorous mass assembly. We find that their intense star formation most frequently occurs at the location of stellar-mass concentration and extends over an area comparable to their stellar-mass distribution, with a median diameter of $4.2 \pm 1.8$ kpc. This provides direct evidence for galaxy-wide star formation in distant, blank-field-selected main-sequence SFGs. The typical galactic-average SFR surface density is 2.5 M$_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$kpc$^{-2}$, sufficiently high to drive outflows. In X-ray-selected AGN where radio emission is enhanced over the level associated with star formation, the radio excess pinpoints the AGN, which are found to be co-spatial with star formation. The median extinction-independent size of main-sequence SFGs is two times larger than those of bright submillimeter galaxies whose SFRs are $3-8$ times larger, providing a constraint on the characteristic SFR ($\sim300$ M$_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$) above which a significant population of more compact star-forming galaxies appears to emerge.
