摘要:

利用阿塔卡玛大型毫米波阵列,从超深巡天SCUBA-2宇宙学遗产巡天图中选取了706个位于870 $μ$ m的亚毫米波星系(SMG),研究了它们的射电性质。我们检测到273 SMG在$>4σ$在深卡尔G。Jansky甚大阵列1.4 GHz观测,其中45个SMG的子集在610 MHz巨型米波射电望远镜成像中被额外检测到。我们通过参数$q_\text{IR}$(定义为远红外和射电光度的对数比)量化了远红外/射电相关性,并通过叠加分析包括了射电未检测到的SMG。我们确定了一个中位数$q_\text{IR} = 2.20\pm0.03$为完整的样本,独立的红移,这将这些$z\sim2.5$尘埃恒星形成星系$0.44\pm0.04$德克斯低于本地相关的正常恒星形成星系和本地超亮红外星系(ULIRGs)。与本地恒星形成源相比,高红移星暴星系中缺乏红移演化和偏离本地相关性可能是不同物理条件的结果。我们解释通过强磁场($B\gtrsim0.2$ mG),高星际介质(ISM)密度和额外的无线电发射产生的次级宇宙射线的组合的偏移。虽然本地ULIRGs可能有类似的磁场强度,我们发现它们的紧凑性,结合更高的ISM密度相比SMGs,自然解释了为什么本地和高红移尘埃恒星形成星系遵循不同的远红外/无线电相关。总的来说,我们的研究结果将SMG描绘成一个均匀的星系群,正如它们紧密且不进化的远红外/无线电相关性所示。

英文摘要:

We study the radio properties of 706 sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs) selected at 870$μ$m with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array from the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey map of the Ultra Deep Survey field. We detect 273 SMGs at $>4σ$ in deep Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array 1.4 GHz observations, of which a subset of 45 SMGs are additionally detected in 610 MHz Giant Metre-Wave Radio Telescope imaging. We quantify the far-infrared/radio correlation through parameter $q_\text{IR}$, defined as the logarithmic ratio of the far-infrared and radio luminosity, and include the radio-undetected SMGs through a stacking analysis. We determine a median $q_\text{IR} = 2.20\pm0.03$ for the full sample, independent of redshift, which places these $z\sim2.5$ dusty star-forming galaxies $0.44\pm0.04$ dex below the local correlation for both normal star-forming galaxies and local ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). Both the lack of redshift-evolution and the offset from the local correlation are likely the result of the different physical conditions in high-redshift starburst galaxies, compared to local star-forming sources. We explain the offset through a combination of strong magnetic fields ($B\gtrsim0.2$mG), high interstellar medium (ISM) densities and additional radio emission generated by secondary cosmic rays. While local ULIRGs are likely to have similar magnetic field strengths, we find that their compactness, in combination with a higher ISM density compared to SMGs, naturally explains why local and high-redshift dusty star-forming galaxies follow a different far-infrared/radio correlation. Overall, our findings paint SMGs as a homogeneous population of galaxies, as illustrated by their tight and non-evolving far-infrared/radio correlation.
