摘要:

我们提出了阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米阵列(ALMA)波段5观测的星系在$z=1.91$,GDS 24569,在寻找分子气体在其附近通过[C I] $^3$ P $_1$ - $^3$ P $_0$线。GDS 24569是一个大质量($\log M_*/M_\odot=11$)被动演化星系,其特征是结构紧凑,有效半径为$\sim0.5$ kpc。我们应用两种盲检测算法的光谱数据立方体,并发现没有有希望的检测GDS 24569或周围的投影距离为$\sim320$ kpc,而一个狭窄的试探线($4.1 σ$)被确定在$+1200$公里/秒的算法之一。由于未探测到[C I],我们对氢分子质量设定了$3σ$上限,即$\sim 7.1 \times 10^9 M_\odot$,它转化为极低的气体-恒星质量分数$< 5 \%$。我们进行了光谱能量分布模拟,包括光学到远红外数据,并发现一个相当高的($\sim0.1\%$)尘埃-恒星质量比,$\sim10$ - $100\times$高于当地的早型星系。结合先前的结果,周围的卫星星系数量不足,这表明GDS 24569不太可能通过卫星合并经历显着的大小演变。我们讨论了淬灭GDS 24569的可能物理机制。

英文摘要:

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 5 observations of a galaxy at $z=1.91$, GDS24569, in search of molecular gas in its vicinity via the [C I] $^3$P$_1$-$^3$P$_0$ line. GDS24569 is a massive ($\log M_*/M_\odot=11$) passively evolving galaxy, and characterized by compact morphology with an effective radius of $\sim0.5$ kpc. We apply two blind detection algorithms to the spectral data cubes, and find no promising detection in or around GDS24569 out to projected distance of $\sim320$ kpc, while a narrow tentative line ($4.1 σ$) is identified at $+1200$ km/s by one of the algorithms. From the non-detection of [C I], we place a $3σ$ upper limit on molecular hydrogen mass, $\sim 7.1 \times 10^9 M_\odot$, which converts to an extremely low gas-to-stellar mass fraction, $< 5 \%$. We conduct a spectral energy distribution modeling by including optical-to-far-infrared data, and find a considerably high ($\sim0.1\%$) dust-to-stellar mass ratio, $\sim10$-$100\times$ higher than those of local early-type galaxies. In combination with a previous result of an insufficient number of surrounding satellite galaxies, it is suggested that GDS24569 is unlikely to experience significant size evolution via satellite mergers. We discuss possible physical mechanisms that quenched GDS24569.
