摘要:

红外-射电相关(IRRC)是许多常用的射电光度-恒星形成率(SFR)校准的基础。在准备新一代的无线电调查,我们重新访问低$z$星系的IRRC(a)利用目前最好的红外和1.4 GHz的射电测光,加上辅助数据在尽可能广泛的地区,和(b)仔细评估潜在的系统。我们编制了一个$\sim$ 9,500 z $<$ 0.2星系的目录,并推导出它们的1.4 GHz射电($L_{\mathrm{1.4}}$),总IR和单色IR光度在多达7个波段,使我们能够参数化的单色IRRC从22-500 $μ$ m的波长依赖性。对于低$z$样本的第一次,我们量化了匹配不良的IR和无线电测量深度偏差测量的中值IR/无线电比率,$\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$,并讨论了在ASKAP/MeerKAT领域的低z IRRC研究预期的偏差水平。对于我们的$\sim$ 2,000个高置信度恒星形成星系的子集,我们发现中值$\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$为2.54(散射:0.17 dex)。我们发现,$\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$与$L_{\mathrm{1.4}}$相关,这意味着非线性IRRC的斜率为1.11 $\pm$ 0.01。我们新的$L_{\mathrm{1.4}}$ -SFR校准,它结合了这种非线性,再现SFR从全色SED适合大大优于以前的IRRC为基础的配方。最后,我们匹配最近测得的$\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$的红移趋势的演化斜率,而不必调用的IRRC的红移演化。在这个框架内,红移的演变$\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$报告在GHz频率的文献是一个部分的,红移相关的采样的非线性IRRC服从低- $z$ { \it和}遥远的星系的后果。

英文摘要:

The infrared-radio correlation (IRRC) underpins many commonly used radio luminosity-star formation rate (SFR) calibrations. In preparation for the new generation of radio surveys we revisit the IRRC of low-$z$ galaxies by (a) drawing on the best currently available IR and 1.4 GHz radio photometry, plus ancillary data over the widest possible area, and (b) carefully assessing potential systematics. We compile a catalogue of $\sim$9,500 z $<$ 0.2 galaxies and derive their 1.4 GHz radio ($L_{\mathrm{1.4}}$), total IR, and monochromatic IR luminosities in up to seven bands, allowing us to parameterize the wavelength-dependence of monochromatic IRRCs from 22-500 $μ$m. For the first time for low-$z$ samples, we quantify how poorly matched IR and radio survey depths bias measured median IR/radio ratios, $\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$, and discuss the level of biasing expected for low-z IRRC studies in ASKAP/MeerKAT fields. For our subset of $\sim$2,000 high-confidence star-forming galaxies we find a median $\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$ of 2.54 (scatter: 0.17 dex). We show that $\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$ correlates with $L_{\mathrm{1.4}}$, implying a non-linear IRRC with slope 1.11$\pm$0.01. Our new $L_{\mathrm{1.4}}$-SFR calibration, which incorporates this non-linearity, reproduces SFRs from panchromatic SED fits substantially better than previous IRRC-based recipes. Finally, we match the evolutionary slope of recently measured $\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$-redshift trends without having to invoke redshift evolution of the IRRC. In this framework, the redshift evolution of $\overline{q}_{\mathrm{TIR}}$ reported at GHz frequencies in the literature is the consequence of a partial, redshift-dependent sampling of a non-linear IRRC obeyed by low-$z$ {\it and} distant galaxies.
