摘要:

最近发现的尘埃星系进入了再电离时代(红移$z>6$),这对这些原始系统中星际介质的性质提出了挑战性的问题。通过结合最先进的流体动力学和尘埃辐射传输模拟,我们解决了这些问题,重点关注最近发现的尘埃星系A2744_YD4($z=8.38$,Laporte et al. 2017})。我们表明,我们可以只使用与Laporte等人(2017)推断的不同的物理值来重现观测到的光谱能量分布(SED),即恒星形成率为$\mathrm{SFR} = 78\;\rm M_\odot \rm yr^{-1}$,比简单的光谱能量分布拟合推导出的高$\approx 4$。在这种情况下,我们发现:(a)粉尘衰减(对应于$τ_V=1.4$)与银河系消光曲线一致;(b)尘埃-金属比低,$f_\mathrm{d} \sim 0.08$,意味着早期尘埃形成效率相当低;(c)亮度加权尘埃温度高,$T_d=91\pm 23\, \rm K$,这是强烈的(d)由于高$\approx 100\times$,ALMA波段7的探测可以用有限的尘埃质量$M_d=1.6\times 10^6 $ M $_\odot$来解释。最后,高尘埃温度可能解决了最近从IRX- $β$关系推导出的高$z$星系令人困惑的低红外过量。

英文摘要:

The recent discovery of dusty galaxies well into the Epoch of Reionization (redshift $z>6$) poses challenging questions about the properties of the interstellar medium in these pristine systems. By combining state-of-the-art hydrodynamic and dust radiative transfer simulations, we address these questions focusing on the recently discovered dusty galaxy A2744_YD4 ($z=8.38$, Laporte et al. 2017}). We show that we can reproduce the observed spectral energy distribution (SED) only using different physical values with respect to the inferred ones by Laporte et al(2017), i.e. a star formation rate of $\mathrm{SFR} = 78\;\rm M_\odot \rm yr^{-1}$, a factor $\approx 4$ higher than deduced from simple Spectral Energy Distribution fitting. In this case we find: (a) dust attenuation (corresponding to $τ_V=1.4$) is consistent with a Milky Way extinction curve; (b) the dust-to-metal ratio is low, $f_\mathrm{d} \sim 0.08$, implying that early dust formation is rather inefficient; (c) the luminosity-weighted dust temperature is high, $T_d=91\pm 23\, \rm K$, as a result of the intense ($\approx 100\times$ MW) interstellar radiation field; (d) due to the high $T_d$, the ALMA Band 7 detection can be explained by a limited dust mass, $M_d=1.6\times 10^6 $M$_\odot$. Finally, the high dust temperatures might solve the puzzling low infrared excess recently deduced for high-$z$ galaxies from the IRX-$β$ relation.
