摘要:

利用星系作为背景光源来绘制干涉Lya吸收图是研究星系、环星系介质(CGM)和星系际介质(IGM)相互作用的一种新方法。引入一个新的z = 3.1$ HI Lya吸收相对于宇宙平均值的度量Δ_NB497,它是根据恒星形成星系在3.3 < z < 3.5时的光度数据估算的。我们在z = 3.1的SSA 22原星系团区域和两个控制场(SXDS和GOODS-N场)中制作了空间分辨率为~ 5 Mpc的二维Δ_NB497图。SSA 22场中的Delta_NB497测量值系统地大于控制场中的测量值,并且HI吸收增强延伸超过50 Mpc。场平均(即,δ_NB497与Lya发射体(LAEs)的过密度似乎是相关的,而在少数同动Mpc尺度下,δ_NB497与局部LAEs的过密度没有明显的依赖性。这些结果表明,扩散HI气体扩散/周围的SSA 22原星系团。我们还发现,至少在SSA 22场中,Delta_NB497在距离最近的z = 3.1星系投影距离< 100物理kpc处增强,这可能是由于与个别星系CGM相关的HI气体。在CGM尺度下,在Lya发射较强的星系周围,HI吸收增强往往较弱,这表明Lya从星系的逃逸分数取决于CGM中的氢中性。

英文摘要:

Using galaxies as background light sources to map intervening Lya absorption is a novel approach to study the interplay among galaxies, the circum-galactic medium (CGM), and the intergalactic medium (IGM). Introducing a new measure of z = 3.1$ HI Lya absorption relative to the cosmic mean, Delta_NB497, estimated from photometric data of star-forming galaxies at 3.3 < z < 3.5, we have made two-dimensional Delta_NB497 maps in the z = 3.1 SSA22 proto-cluster region and two control fields (SXDS and GOODS-N fields) with a spatial resolution of ~ 5 comoving Mpc. The Delta_NB497 measurements in the SSA22 field are systematically larger than those in the control fields, and this HI absorption enhancement extends more than 50 comoving Mpc. The field-averaged (i.e., ~50 comoving Mpc scale) Delta_NB497 and the overdensity of Lya emitters (LAEs) seem to be correlated, while there is no clear dependency of the Delta_NB497 on the local LAE overdensity in a few comoving Mpc scale. These results suggest that diffuse HI gas spreads out in/around the SSA22 proto-cluster. We have also found an enhancement of Delta_NB497 at a projected distance < 100 physical kpc from the nearest z = 3.1 galaxies at least in the SSA22 field, which is probably due to HI gas associated with the CGM of individual galaxies. The HI absorption enhancement in the CGM-scale tends to be weaker around galaxies with stronger Lya emission, which suggests that the Lya escape fraction from galaxies depends on hydrogen neutrality in the CGM.
