摘要:

利用3.6米射电望远镜(DOT)上的暗天体摄谱仪和照相机,对候选的高红移($z=4.8\pm2$)陡谱射电星系TGSS J1054+5832进行了$r$和$i$波段的光学观测。以前在150 MHz从巨型米波射电望远镜和1420 MHz从甚大天线阵探测到的源在近红外波段有一个已知的对应物,其$K$波段的星等为AB 22。在这里提供的DOT图像中,在$i$波段检测到具有AB $24.3\pm0.2$幅度的源。在$r$波段图像中,在$1.2''\times1.2''$孔径上,2.5 $σ$深度为AB 24.4 mag处,源仍然未被检测到。$i-K$颜色的上限估计为$\sim$ 2.3,表明该星系年轻,恒星形成活跃。这些观测结果突出了3.6米DOT探测微弱星系的重要性和潜力。

英文摘要:

We report optical observations of TGSS J1054+5832, a candidate high-redshift ($z=4.8\pm2$) steep-spectrum radio galaxy, in $r$ and $i$ bands using the faint object spectrograph and camera mounted on 3.6-m Devasthal Optical Telescope (DOT). The source previously detected at 150 MHz from Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope and at 1420 MHz from Very Large Array has a known counterpart in near-infrared bands with $K$-band magnitude of AB 22. The source is detected in $i$-band with AB$24.3\pm0.2$ magnitude in the DOT images presented here. The source remains undetected in the $r$-band image at a 2.5$σ$ depth of AB 24.4 mag over an $1.2''\times1.2''$ aperture. An upper limit to $i-K$ color is estimated to be $\sim$2.3, suggesting youthfulness of the galaxy with active star formation. These observations highlight the importance and potential of the 3.6-m DOT for detections of faint galaxies.
