摘要:

我们提出了一个样本的四个星系在阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米阵列哈勃超深场(ALMA HUDF)的休息光学光谱特性。这些星系跨越红移范围$1.41 \leq z \leq 2.54$和恒星质量范围$10.36\leq\log(M_*/{\rm M}_{\odot})\leq10.91$。他们有现有的远红外线和无线电测量尘埃连续体和分子气体排放量热恒星形成率(SFR),尘埃质量和分子气体质量已估计。我们使用来自Keck/MOSFIRE摄谱仪的新的$H$和$K$波段近红外光谱来估计来自灰尘校正的H $α$发射(SFR(H $α$))的SFR和来自[NII] $λ6584$ /H $α$比率的气相氧丰度。我们发现,灰尘校正的SFR(H $α$)是系统低于测热SFR的几个因素,并测量气相氧丰度在一个狭窄的范围内,$12+\log(\mbox{O/H})=8.59-8.69$($0.8-1.0\: (\mbox{O/H})_{\odot}$)。相对于一个大的$z\sim 2$比较样本的MOSDEF调查,ALMA HUDF星系分散大致对称的最佳拟合的线性质量金属丰度关系,提供了初步的证据,在高恒星质量的金属丰度的SFR依赖平坦。结合氧丰度与尘埃和分子气体质量的估计,我们表明,没有显着的演变,在规范化的尘埃-气体比DGR与金属丰度关系从$z\sim0$到$z\sim2$。这一结果与一些描述星系尘埃演化的半解析模型和宇宙学模拟相一致。在高红移下追踪DGR与金属丰度关系的实际形式现在需要在更宽的金属丰度范围内对尘埃、气体和金属丰度进行联合测量。

英文摘要:

We present rest-optical spectroscopic properties of a sample of four galaxies in the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Hubble Ultra Deep Field (ALMA HUDF). These galaxies span the redshift range $1.41 \leq z \leq 2.54$ and the stellar mass range $10.36\leq\log(M_*/{\rm M}_{\odot})\leq10.91$. They have existing far-infrared and radio measurements of dust-continuum and molecular gas emission from which bolometric star-formation rates (SFRs), dust masses, and molecular gas masses have been estimated. We use new $H$- and $K$-band near-infrared spectra from the Keck/MOSFIRE spectrograph to estimate SFRs from dust-corrected H$α$ emission (SFR(H$α$)) and gas-phase oxygen abundances from the ratio [NII]$λ6584$/H$α$. We find that the dust-corrected SFR(H$α$) is systematically lower than the bolometric SFR by a factor of several, and measure gas-phase oxygen abundances in a narrow range, $12+\log(\mbox{O/H})=8.59-8.69$ ($0.8-1.0\: (\mbox{O/H})_{\odot}$). Relative to a large $z\sim 2$ comparison sample from the MOSDEF survey, the ALMA HUDF galaxies scatter roughly symmetrically around the best-fit linear mass-metallicity relation, providing tentative evidence for a flattening in the SFR dependence of metallicity at high stellar mass. Combining oxygen abundances with estimates of dust and molecular gas masses, we show that there is no significant evolution in the normalization of the dust-to-gas ratio DGR vs. metallicity relation from $z\sim0$ to $z\sim2$. This result is consistent with some semi-analytic models and cosmological simulations describing the evolution of dust in galaxies. Tracing the actual form of the DGR vs. metallicity relation at high redshift now requires combined measurements of dust, gas, and metallicity over a significantly wider range in metallicity.
