摘要:

本文利用半解析星系形成模型对高红移紫外观测进行了新的分析,并给出了红外过剩(IRX)- $β$关系和宇宙恒星形成率密度的自洽预言。我们结合Charlot & Fall尘埃衰减模型与Meraxes半解析模型,并探讨了三种不同的尘埃光学深度参数,分别与恒星形成率,尘埃气体比和气柱密度。贝叶斯方法统计校准模型的自由参数,包括恒星形成效率,质量负载因子,尘埃光学厚度和红化斜率直接对紫外光度函数和颜色星等关系在z ~ 4-7。最佳拟合模型与观测结果非常吻合。我们利用能量平衡的方法计算了IRX,发现IRX - $β$平面的大的内禀散射是由特定的恒星形成率驱动的。此外,三个尘埃模型之间的差异表明,当使用Meurer IRX - $β$关系在z > 4时,尘埃校正的恒星形成率有两个系统不确定性。

英文摘要:

We present a new analysis of high-redshift UV observations using a semi-analytic galaxy formation model, and provide self-consistent predictions of the infrared excess (IRX) -- $β$ relations and cosmic star formation rate density. We combine the Charlot & Fall dust attenuation model with the Meraxes semi-analytic model, and explore three different parametrisations for the dust optical depths, linked to star formation rate, dust-to-gas ratio and gas column density respectively. A Bayesian approach is employed to statistically calibrate model free parameters including star formation efficiency, mass loading factor, dust optical depths and reddening slope directly against UV luminosity functions and colour-magnitude relations at z ~ 4-7. The best-fit models show excellent agreement with the observations. We calculate IRX using energy balance arguments, and find that the large intrinsic scatter in the IRX -$β$ plane is driven by the specific star formation rate. Additionally, the difference among the three dust models suggests a factor of two systematic uncertainty in the dust-corrected star formation rate when using the Meurer IRX - $β$ relation at z > 4.
