摘要:

我们用阿塔卡玛大型毫米/亚毫米阵在波段7以~450 mas的分辨率观测了10个z=3.1的莱曼Break Galerkin尘埃连续谱。我们在其中一个目标中检测并分辨出870 μ m发射,其积分通量密度为S(870)=(192+/-57)uJy,并对其余九个目标测量S(870)=(67+/-23)uJy的堆叠3-sigma信号。从全光谱能量分布拟合估计的总红外光度为L(8- 1000 um)=(8.4+/-2.3 x10 ^10 Lsun)(对于探测器)和L(8- 1000 um)=(2.9+/-0.9 x10 ^10 Lsun)(对于堆栈)。与HST ACS I波段成像,我们映射的休息帧的紫外线辐射在相同的规模的尘埃,有效地解决了“红外过量”(IRX=L_FIR/L_UV)在一个正常的星系在z=3。在整个星系上积分,我们测得IRX=0.56+/-0.15,星系平均紫外线斜率为beta=-1.25+/-0.03。这使得该星系比Meurer等人(1999)的局部星暴核的IRX-β关系低10倍。然而,IRX在整个星系中的变化超过了3倍,我们得出结论,尘埃相对于紫外线发射的复杂相对形态在很大程度上是高Z下IRX-β关系中散射的原因。一个天真的应用程序的Meurer样的尘埃校正的基础上的紫外线斜率将大大高估了总的恒星形成率,我们的研究结果支持越来越多的证据表明,当整合在星系,在高Z恒星形成星系的典型条件是不类似于那些在当地的星暴核用于建立Meurer关系。

英文摘要:

We have observed the dust continuum of ten z=3.1 Lyman Break Galaxies with the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array at ~450 mas resolution in Band 7. We detect and resolve the 870um emission in one of the targets with an integrated flux density of S(870)=(192+/-57) uJy, and measure a stacked 3-sigma signal of S(870)=(67+/-23) uJy for the remaining nine. The total infrared luminosities estimated from full spectral energy distribution fits are L(8-1000um)=(8.4+/-2.3)x10^10 Lsun for the detection and L(8-1000um)=(2.9+/-0.9)x10^10 Lsun for the stack. With HST ACS I-band imaging we map the rest-frame UV emission on the same scale as the dust, effectively resolving the 'infrared excess' (IRX=L_FIR/L_UV) in a normal galaxy at z=3. Integrated over the galaxy we measure IRX=0.56+/-0.15, and the galaxy-averaged UV slope is beta=-1.25+/-0.03. This puts the galaxy a factor of ~10 below the IRX-beta relation for local starburst nuclei of Meurer et al. (1999). However, IRX varies by more than a factor of 3 across the galaxy, and we conclude that the complex relative morphology of the dust relative to UV emission is largely responsible for the scatter in the IRX-beta relation at high-z. A naive application of a Meurer-like dust correction based on the UV slope would dramatically over-estimate the total star formation rate, and our results support growing evidence that when integrated over the galaxy, the typical conditions in high-z star-forming galaxies are not analogous to those in the local starburst nuclei used to establish the Meurer relation.
