摘要:

本文介绍了利用HST WFC 3/F275 W紫外成像仪对一个红移为$z\approx2.5$的致密矮星系A2218-Flanking的观测结果。A2218-Flanking的恒星质量为$\log(M/M_{\odot}=9.14$,校正放大倍率后的SFR为12.5 $M_\odot$ yr $^{-1}$。这个星系有一个年轻的星系年龄为1.27亿年,紧凑的星系大小为$r_{1/2}=2.4$ kpc。HST紫外成像观测涵盖了A2218-Flanking的静止帧莱曼连续谱(LyC)发射($\sim800$)。我们在F275 W图像中的A2218-Flanking中坚定地检测到($14σ$)LyC发射。结合HST F606 W的图像,我们发现LyC的绝对逃逸分数为$f_{\rm abs,esc}>28-57\%$,这是基于1700和800欧姆之间的通量密度比($f_{1700}/f_{800}$)。F275 W图像中LyC发射的形态被扩展,并且很好地遵循F606 W图像中UV连续形态的形态,表明$f_{800}$不是来自前景污染物。我们发现,具有高恒星形成率表面密度的区域具有较低的$f_{1700}/f_{800}$(较高的$f_{800}/f_{1700}$)比扩散区域,这表明LyC光子更有可能从具有密集恒星形成过程的区域逃逸。我们比较了有和没有LyC探测的星系的性质,发现LyC光子在低质量星系中更容易逃逸。

英文摘要:

We present the HST WFC3/F275W UV imaging observations of A2218-Flanking, a lensed compact dwarf galaxy at redshift $z\approx2.5$. The stellar mass of A2218-Flanking is $\log(M/M_{\odot}=9.14$ and SFR is 12.5$M_\odot$yr$^{-1}$ after correcting the magnification. This galaxy has a young galaxy age of 127 Myr and a compact galaxy size of $r_{1/2}=2.4$kpc. The HST UV imaging observations cover the rest-frame Lyman continuum (LyC) emission ($\sim800$Å) from A2218-Flanking. We firmly detect ($14σ$) the LyC emission in A2218-Flanking in the F275W image. Together with the HST F606W images, we find that the absolute escape fraction of LyC is $f_{\rm abs,esc}>28-57\%$ based on the flux density ratio between 1700Å and 800Å ($f_{1700}/f_{800}$). The morphology of the LyC emission in the F275W images is extended and well follows the morphology of the UV continuum morphology in the F606W images, suggesting that the $f_{800}$ is not from foreground contaminants. We find that the region with a high star formation rate surface density has a lower $f_{1700}/f_{800}$ (higher $f_{800}/f_{1700}$) ratio than the diffused regions, suggesting that LyC photons are more likely to escape from the region with the intensive star-forming process. We compare the properties of galaxies with and without LyC detections and find that LyC photons are easier to escape in low mass galaxies.
