We present a sample of 33 Balmer Break Galaxies (BBGs) selected as HST/F160W dropouts in the deepest CANDELS/GOODS fields ($H\gtrsim27.3$~mag) but relatively bright in {\it Spitzer}/IRAC ($[3.6],[4.5]<24.5$~mag), implying red colors (median and quartiles: $\langle H-[3.6]\rangle=3.1^{3.4}_{2.8}$\,mag). Half of these BBGs are newly identified sources. Our BBGs are massive ($\langle \log(\rm{M}/\rm{M}_\odot)\rangle=10.8$) high redshift ($\langle z\rangle=4.8$) dusty ($\langle \rm{A(V)}\rangle=2.0$~mag) galaxies. The SEDs of half of our sample indicate that they are star-forming galaxies with typical specific SFRs 0.5-1.0~Gyr$^{-1}$, qualifying them as main sequence (MS) galaxies at $3<z<6$. One third of those SEDs indicates the presence of prominent emission lines (H$β$+$[OIII]$, H$α$$+$[NII]) boosting the IRAC fluxes and red colors. Approximately 20\% of the BBGs are very dusty ($\rm{A(V)}\sim2.5$~mag) starbursts with strong mid-to-far infrared detections and extreme SFRs ($\rm{SFR}>10^{3}\,\rm{M}_\odot/yr$) that place them above the MS. The rest, 30\%, are post-starbursts or quiescent galaxies located $>2σ$ below the MS with mass-weighted ages older than 700~Myr. Only 2 of the 33 galaxies are X-ray detected AGN with optical/near-infrared SEDs dominated by stellar emission, but the presence of obscured AGN in the rest of sources cannot be discarded. Our sample accounts for 8\% of the total number density of $\log(\rm{M}/\rm{M}_\odot)>10$ galaxies at $z>3$, but it is a significant contributor (30\%) to the general population of red $\log(\rm{M}/\rm{M}_\odot)>11$ galaxies at $4<z<6$. Finally, our results point out that 1 of every 30 massive $\log(\rm{M}/\rm{M}_\odot)>11$ galaxies in the local Universe was assembled in the first 1.5~Gyr after the Big Bang, a fraction that is not reproduced by state-of-the-art galaxy formation simulations.
S-CANDELS: The Spitzer-Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Survey. Survey Design, Photometry, and Deep IRAC Source Counts
斯皮策宇宙大会深近红外河外遗产调查(S-CANDELS; PI G。Fazio)是一个第8周期的探索计划,旨在探测非常高红移(z > 5)的星系。为了减轻宇宙变化的影响,并利用哈勃空间望远镜多周期财政计划CANDELS在多个波段的深度同延覆盖,S-CANDELS在五个相距甚远的河外区域进行:UKIDSS超深巡天、扩展钱德拉深场南、COSMOS、HST深场北和扩展格罗斯带。S-CANDELS建立在斯皮策扩展深度调查(SEDS)现有的这些领域的覆盖范围之上,将积分时间从12小时增加到总共50小时,但在较小的区域内,0.16平方度。额外的深度显著增加了微弱星等下的勘测完整性。本文介绍了S-CANDELS调查的设计、处理和公开提供的数据产品。我们目前的IRAC双波段3.6+4.5微米目录达到26.5 AB MAG的深度。深IRAC计数的大约135,000个星系检测的S-CANDELS是一致的模型的基础上已知的星系种群。比早期斯皮策/IRAC调查更深的深度增加并没有揭示离散源对弥漫的宇宙红外背景(CIB)的显着额外贡献。因此,它仍然是正确的,只有大约一半的估计CIB通量从COBE/DIRBE解决。
Extending the evolution of the stellar mass-size relation at $z \leq 2$ to low stellar mass galaxies from HFF and CANDELS
