一个3 mm选择星系z=5.8的发射谱线

A tentative emission line at z=5.8 from a 3mm-selected galaxy

Jorge A. Zavala

摘要:

我报告了一条来自“COS-3 mm-1”的$ν=100.84\,$ GHz的暂定($\sim4σ$)发射线,这是Williams等人2019年报告的一个3 mm选择星系,在光学和近红外波长下未被检测到。这条线是在ALMA科学档案馆重新处理针对不同来源的ALMA波段3观测后发现的。假设这条谱线对应于$\rm CO(6\to5)$跃迁,这个初步的探测意味着光谱红移为$z=5.857$,这与多波长测光的星系红移限制一致。这将使这个物体成为最高红移3毫米的选定星系,也是迄今为止已知的最高红移尘埃恒星形成星系之一。在这里,我报告的特点,这种试探性的检测和物理性质,可以推断假设线是真实的。最后,我主张进行后续观测,以证实这一发现,并确认这个光学暗尘埃恒星形成星系的高红移性质。

英文摘要:

I report a tentative ($\sim4σ$) emission line at $ν=100.84\,$GHz from "COS-3mm-1'", a 3mm-selected galaxy reported by Williams et al. 2019 that is undetected at optical and near infrared wavelengths. The line was found in the ALMA Science Archive after re-processing ALMA band 3 observations targeting a different source. Assuming the line corresponds to the $\rm CO(6\to5)$ transition, this tentative detection implies a spectroscopic redshift of $z=5.857$, in agreement with the galaxy's redshift constraints from multi-wavelength photometry. This would make this object the highest redshift 3mm-selected galaxy and one of the highest redshift dusty star-forming galaxies known to-date. Here, I report the characteristics of this tentative detection and the physical properties that can be inferred assuming the line is real. Finally, I advocate for follow-up observations to corroborate this identification and to confirm the high-redshift nature of this optically-dark dusty star-forming galaxy.
