摘要:

我们提出了一个高红移铁低电离宽吸收线(FeLoBAL)类星体(SDSS 1214在$z = 1.046$)的详细研究,包括新的干涉$^{12}$ CO $J$ =2-1的观测,光学通过远红外测光,和中红外光谱。CO线与一个以40 kms为中心的单高斯$^{-1}$很好地拟合,该点远离系统速度,并意味着总分子气体质量为$M_\textrm{gas} = 7.3 \times 10^{10} \textrm{M}_\odot$。红外SED需要三个组成部分:活动星系核(AGN)环,AGN极地尘埃成分,和星暴。星暴以log($L_\textrm{SB}[\textrm{L}_\odot]) = 12.91^{+0.02}_{-0.02}$)的光度在红外辐射中占主导地位,这意味着恒星的形成速率约为2000 $\textrm{M}_{\odot}$ yr $^{-1}$,是已知的铁球类星体中最高的。活动星系核环和极地尘埃的亮度较低,分别为log($L_\textrm{AGN}[\textrm{L}_\odot]) = 12.36^{+0.14}_{-0.15}$)和log($L_\textrm{dust}[\textrm{L}_\odot]) = 11.75^{+0.26}_{-0.46}$)。如果所有的分子气体都被用来为正在进行的恒星形成提供燃料,那么恒星暴增持续时间的下限是4000万年。我们没有发现活动星系核影响CO气藏的确凿证据。SDSS 1214的性质与它代表一个被遮蔽的恒星暴的终点一致,该恒星暴从LoBAL阶段过渡到经典类星体阶段。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed study of a high-redshift iron low-ionization broad absorption line (FeLoBAL) quasar (SDSS1214 at $z = 1.046$), including new interferometric $^{12}$CO $J$=2-1 observations, optical through far-infrared photometry, and mid-infrared spectroscopy. The CO line is well-fit by a single Gaussian centered 40 kms$^{-1}$ away from the systemic velocity and implies a total molecular gas mass of $M_\textrm{gas} = 7.3 \times 10^{10} \textrm{M}_\odot$. The infrared SED requires three components: an active galactic nucleus (AGN) torus, an AGN polar dust component, and a starburst. The starburst dominates the infrared emission with a luminosity of log($L_\textrm{SB}[\textrm{L}_\odot]) = 12.91^{+0.02}_{-0.02}$, implying a star formation rate of about 2000 $\textrm{M}_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$, the highest known among FeLoBAL quasars. The AGN torus and polar dust components are less luminous, at log($L_\textrm{AGN}[\textrm{L}_\odot]) = 12.36^{+0.14}_{-0.15}$ and log($L_\textrm{dust}[\textrm{L}_\odot]) = 11.75^{+0.26}_{-0.46}$, respectively. If all of the molecular gas is used to fuel the ongoing star formation, then the lower limit on the subsequent duration of the starburst is 40 Myr. We do not find conclusive evidence that the AGN is affecting the CO gas reservoir. The properties of SDSS1214 are consistent with it representing the endpoint of an obscured starburst transitioning through a LoBAL phase to that of a classical quasar.
