摘要:

利用VLA-COSMOS 3 GHz 0 \farcs 75分辨率镶嵌星表及其卷积图像(分辨率高达2 \farcs 2),研究了射电选择活动星系核(AGN)和恒星形成星系(SFG)的$μ$ Jy星群的线性射电尺寸特性.最终的星表包含了6\,399个总通量密度在3GHz以上的$S_T>20$ $μ$ Jy(中值$<S_T>=37$ $μ$ Jy)的射电源,具有红移信息(中值$<z>=1.0$)和多波长分类为SFG、射电过剩活动星系核(RX-AGN)或非射电过剩活动星系核(NRX-AGN)。RX-AGN是那些射电辐射超过恒星形成率的天体,这些恒星形成率是通过拟合全球光谱能量分布得出的。我们推导出了每类天体的平均线尺寸随红移和光度的演化。我们发现,RX活动星系核是紧凑的,与$\sim$ 1-2千秒差距的中值大小和增加的红移,对应于一个几乎恒定的角大小0 \farcs 25。NRX-AGN的无线电尺寸通常比RX-AGN大2倍。到$z\sim 0.7$,SFG的射电尺寸中值约为5 kpc,超过这个红移后,它会减小。利用光度完备的子样本,我们分别研究了红移和光度依赖性的影响。我们比较的SFG的无线电尺寸与那些来自休息帧远红外(FIR)和紫外波段。我们发现,SFG具有可比的大小(在15%以内)在无线电和休息帧FIR,而在UV波段测量的大小系统大于无线电的大小。

英文摘要:

We investigate the linear radio size properties of the $μ$Jy populations of radio-selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star-forming galaxies (SFGs) using a multi-resolution catalog based on the original VLA-COSMOS 3\,GHz 0\farcs75 resolution mosaic and its convolved images (up to a resolution of 2\farcs2). The final catalog contains 6\,399 radio sources above a 3\,GHz total flux density of $S_T>20$ $μ$Jy (median $<S_T>=37$ $μ$Jy), with redshift information (median $<z>=1.0$), and multi-wavelength classification as SFGs, radio-excess AGN (RX-AGN), or non-radio-excess AGN (NRX-AGN). RX-AGN are those whose radio emission exceeds the star formation rate derived by fitting the global spectral energy distribution. We derive the evolution with redshift and luminosity of the median linear sizes of each class of objects. We find that RX-AGN are compact, with median sizes of $\sim$ 1-2 kpc and increasing with redshift, corresponding to an almost constant angular size of 0\farcs25. NRX-AGN typically have radio sizes a factor of 2 larger than the RX-AGN. The median radio size of SFGs is about 5 kpc up to $z\sim 0.7$, and it decreases beyond this redshift. Using luminosity-complete subsamples of objects, we separately investigate the effect of redshift and luminosity dependance. We compare the radio sizes of SFGs with those derived in the rest-frame far-infrared (FIR) and UV bands. We find that SFGs have comparable sizes (within 15\%) in the radio and rest-frame FIR, while the sizes measured in the UV-band are systematically larger than the radio sizes.
