摘要:

本文报道了阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米阵在870 μ m波段对25个围绕主序星的半选恒星形成星系(SFG)的0”.2分辨率观测结果。我们检测到显着的870微米连续发射在16个(64%)这些SFG。高分辨率的地图显示,尘埃辐射主要是从靠近星系中心的单一区域辐射出来的。利用在宽$uv$距离范围内的可见度数据,我们测量了logM*>11的12个大质量星系的最佳样本的静止标架远红外辐射的半光半径。我们发现9个星系与非常紧凑的尘埃排放与R_{1/2,870um} <1.5千秒差距,这是一个多的因素2小于他们的休息光学尺寸,R_{1/2,1.6um} =3.2千秒差距,并在类似的红移质量静止星系的光学尺寸相媲美。由于它们在静止光学中具有Sersic指数n=1.2的指数盘,因此它们可能处于从扩展盘到紧凑球体的过渡阶段。由于它们在Sigma SFR 1 kpc =40 Msol/yr/kpc ^2的中心1 kpc区域内具有高的恒星形成率表面密度,强烈的环核星爆可以在几百万年(即z~2)内迅速形成一个Sigma M* 1 kpc> 1 e10 Msol/kpc ^2的中心隆起。此外,电离气体运动学表明,它们是旋转支持的角动量一样大的典型SFG在z=1-3。我们的研究结果表明,膨胀通常形成在扩展的旋转磁盘的内部过程,不涉及重大合并。

英文摘要:

We present 0".2-resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations at 870 um for 25 Halpha-seleced star-forming galaxies (SFGs) around the main-sequence at z=2.2-2.5. We detect significant 870 um continuum emission in 16 (64%) of these SFGs. The high-resolution maps reveal that the dust emission is mostly radiated from a single region close to the galaxy center. Exploiting the visibility data taken over a wide $uv$ distance range, we measure the half-light radii of the rest-frame far-infrared emission for the best sample of 12 massive galaxies with logM*>11. We find nine galaxies to be associated with extremely compact dust emission with R_{1/2,870um}<1.5 kpc, which is more than a factor of 2 smaller than their rest-optical sizes, R_{1/2,1.6um}=3.2 kpc, and is comparable with optical sizes of massive quiescent galaxies at similar redshifts. As they have an exponential disk with Sersic index of n=1.2 in the rest-optical, they are likely to be in the transition phase from extended disks to compact spheroids. Given their high star formation rate surface densities within the central 1 kpc of Sigma SFR1kpc=40 Msol/yr/kpc^2, the intense circumnuclear starbursts can rapidly build up a central bulge with Sigma M*1kpc>1e10 Msol/kpc^2 in several hundred Myr, i.e. by z~2. Moreover, ionized gas kinematics reveal that they are rotation-supported with an angular momentum as large as that of typical SFGs at z=1-3. Our results suggest bulges are commonly formed in extended rotating disks by internal processes, not involving major mergers.
