摘要:

我们在Lockman Hole对J2000 RA = 10 46,Dec = 59 01的JVLA初级束(FWHM ~ 14 ')进行了两次高分辨率(均方根噪声σ_n ~ 1 μ J/束)(θ = 3.0”和θ = 0.66”FWHM)的S波段(2这些图像产生了792个射电源的目录,其中97.7 +/-0.8%具有在λ = 4.5微米处比S ~ 2 microJy强的红外对应物。在我们以前发表的覆盖相同区域的低分辨率(θ = 8”FWHM)图像中发现的射电源中,约有91%也是在0.66”分辨率下探测到的,因此大多数S_3GHz >~ 5 μ y的射电源具有<~ 0.66”的角结构。0.66”和3”图像中峰值亮度的比值具有这样的分布,表明大多数microJy射电源相当紧凑,具有中值高斯角直径<phi>= 0.3”+/-0.1”FWHM和单个尺寸的均方根散射σ_phi &lt;~ 0.3”。我们的大多数microJy射电源遵循紧密的远红外/无线电相关性,这表明它们是由恒星形成提供动力的。包含指数盘发出的一半光的中值有效角半径为<rho_e>~<phi>/2.43 ~ 0.12”,因此恒星形成星系在红移z~1处的中值有效半径为<r_e>~ 1.0 kpc。

英文摘要:

We made two new sensitive (rms noise sigma_n ~ 1 microJy/beam) high resolution (theta = 3.0" and theta = 0.66" FWHM) S--band (2 < nu < 4 GHz) images covering a single JVLA primary beam (FWHM ~ 14') centered on J2000 RA = 10 46, Dec = 59 01 in the Lockman Hole. These images yielded a catalog of 792 radio sources, 97.7 +/- 0.8% of which have infrared counterparts stronger than S ~ 2 microJy at lambda = 4.5 micron. About 91% of the radio sources found in our previously published, comparably sensitive low resolution (theta = 8" FWHM) image covering the same area were also detected at 0.66" resolution, so most radio sources with S_3GHz >~ 5 microJy have angular structure phi <~ 0.66". The ratios of peak brightness in the 0.66" and 3" images have a distribution indicating that most microJy radio sources are quite compact, with a median Gaussian angular diameter <phi> = 0.3" +/- 0.1" FWHM and an rms scatter sigma_phi <~ 0.3" of individual sizes. Most of our microJy radio sources obey the tight far-infrared/radio correlation, indicating that they are powered by star formation. The median effective angular radius enclosing half the light emitted by an exponential disk is <rho_e> ~ <phi>/2.43 ~ 0.12", so the median effective radius of star-forming galaxies at redshifts z~1 is <r_e> ~ 1.0 kpc.
