摘要:

我们报道了在BR 1202-0725系统中探测到[O I]145.5um的结果。BR 1202-0725系统是一个z=4.7的致密星系群,由一个类星体(QSO)、一个亚毫米亮星系(SMG)和三个微弱的Lya发射体组成。考虑到以前的观测结果和上限,目前已知的5个高z星系的[O I]/[C II]谱线比值均高于或接近于本星系观测值的高端([O I]/[C II] $\gtrsim$ 0.13)。高的[O I]/[C II]比值和与先前探测到的类星体和SMG的[N II]线的联合分析表明,在这些高度恒星形成的星系中存在温暖而致密的中性气体。新的CO(12-11)线探测和与宇宙学模拟的比较进一步支持了这一点。当考虑到所有的局部和高z源时,[NII]122/205线比和[O I]/[C II]比之间可能存在正相关,这表明电离气体越密集,中性气体越密集和温暖(反之亦然)。在BR 1202 -0725系统与ALMA集成的相对较短的量的[O I]线的检测证明了这条线作为高z星系的致密气体示踪剂的巨大潜力。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of [O I]145.5um in the BR 1202-0725 system, a compact group at z=4.7 consisting of a quasar (QSO), a submillimeter-bright galaxy (SMG), and three faint Lya emitters. By taking into account the previous detections and upper limits, the [O I]/[C II] line ratios of the now five known high-z galaxies are higher than or on the high-end of the observed values in local galaxies ([O I]/[C II]$\gtrsim$0.13). The high [O I]/[C II] ratios and the joint analysis with the previous detection of [N II] lines for both the QSO and the SMG suggest the presence of warm and dense neutral gas in these highly star-forming galaxies. This is further supported by new CO (12-11) line detections and a comparison with cosmological simulations. There is a possible positive correlation between the [NII]122/205 line ratio and the [O I]/[C II] ratio when all local and high-z sources are taken into account, indicating that the denser the ionized gas, the denser and warmer the neutral gas (or vice versa). The detection of the [O I] line in the BR1202-0725 system with a relatively short amount of integration with ALMA demonstrates the great potential of this line as a dense gas tracer for high-z galaxies.
