摘要:

第一类类星体种子的主要竞争者是直接坍缩黑洞(DCBH),它是在$z \sim$ 20的原子冷却晕中发生灾难性重子坍缩时形成的。在$z =$ 6.6发现Ly $α$发射体CR 7最初被认为是第一次探测到DCBH,尽管这种解释后来受到了斯皮策IRAC和甚大望远镜X-Shooter数据的挑战。在这里,我们确定是否可以检测到来自CR 7中的DCBH的无线电通量,并将其与晕中的无线电发射源(如年轻的超新星和H II区域)相区分。我们发现,DCBH将在1.0 GHz处发射10 - 200 nJy的通量,远远大于年轻超新星预期的sub-nJy信号,但与恒星形成区域的连续辐射相当。然而,CR 7中DCBH的无线电发射可以通过其随频率的频谱演变与H II区域的自由-自由发射区分开来,并且可以在未来十年内由平方公里阵列检测到。

英文摘要:

The leading contenders for the seeds of the first quasars are direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) formed during catastrophic baryon collapse in atomically-cooled halos at $z \sim$ 20. The discovery of the Ly$α$ emitter CR7 at $z =$ 6.6 was initially held to be the first detection of a DCBH, although this interpretation has since been challenged on the grounds of Spitzer IRAC and Very Large Telescope X-Shooter data. Here we determine if radio flux from a DCBH in CR7 could be detected and discriminated from competing sources of radio emission in the halo such as young supernovae and H II regions. We find that a DCBH would emit a flux of 10 - 200 nJy at 1.0 GHz, far greater than the sub-nJy signal expected for young supernovae but on par with continuum emission from star-forming regions. However, radio emission from a DCBH in CR7 could be distinguished from free-free emission from H II regions by its spectral evolution with frequency and could be detected by the Square Kilometer Array in the coming decade.
