摘要:

普朗克卫星已经确定了2000多个具有极端恒星形成率(SFR)的原星团候选者。在这里,我们提出的光谱鉴定普朗克选择原星系团位于宇宙领域,PHZ G237.01+42.50(G237)。G237在10'x11'的区域中包含了31个光谱上可识别的星系,z约为2.16(在5.4 sigma处显着)。超密度包含两个在~2.16和2.195处的子结构或原星团<z>,估计在z=0处的晕质量为~(5-6)x10^14 Msun。过密度总SFR,~4000 Msun/yr,高于模拟预测,但远小于从普朗克数据得出的SFR。结合可用的辅助数据,对赫歇尔数据的分析表明,这种差异是由于沿着视线的源对准的影响,其在场中产生红色赫歇尔源的5 σ过密度。我们分析了成员的紫外光谱和紫外-远红外光谱能量分布,以获得它们的SFR,恒星质量和金属丰度。星系成员包括蓝色恒星形成星系和活动星系核,其SFR和恒星质量与主序星一致。通过光谱学或X射线数据识别的活动星系核,在z=2.16的原星系团中占很大比例(20+/-10%),它们的能量足以产生辐射反馈。这个原星系团的核心,除了密度更大之外,还包括平均质量更大、恒星形成更快的成员,并且包含的活动星系核和赫歇尔探测到的星系比完整样本中的大部分,这表明环境对星系生长的影响。G237与文献中其他原星系团在类似红移下的比较揭示了一些共同的特征和差异,反映了观测偏差和尚未完全理解的内在性质的多样性。

英文摘要:

The Planck satellite has identified more than 2000 protocluster candidates with extreme star formation rates (SFRs). Here, we present the spectroscopic identification of a Planck-selected protocluster located in the Cosmos field, PHz G237.01+42.50 (G237). G237 contains a galaxy overdensity of 31 spectroscopically identified galaxies at z~2.16 (significant at 5.4 sigma) in a 10'x11' region. The overdensity contains two substructures or protoclusters at <z>~2.16 and 2.195 with estimated halo masses at z=0 of ~(5-6)x10^14 Msun. The overdensity total SFR, ~4000 Msun/yr, is higher than predicted by simulations but much smaller than the SFR derived from the Planck data. The analysis of the Herschel data, in combination with the available ancillary data, shows that such a difference is due to an effect of source alignment along the line of sight that produces a 5 sigma overdensity of red Herschel sources in the field. We analyze the members' UV spectra and UV-far-infrared spectral energy distributions to derive their SFR, stellar mass, and metallicity. Galaxy members include blue star-forming galaxies and AGN with SFRs and stellar masses consistent with the main sequence. AGN, identified through optical spectroscopy or X-ray data, represent a significant fraction (20+/-10%) of all members of the protocluster at z=2.16, and they are powerful enough to produce radiative feedback. The core of this protocluster, besides being denser, includes members that are, on average, more massive and star-forming and contains a larger fraction of AGN and Herschel-detected galaxies than the full sample, suggesting an environmental effect on galaxy growth. A comparison between G237 and other protoclusters in the literature at similar redshifts reveals some common traits and differences that reflect both observational biases and a diversity in intrinsic properties that is not yet fully understood.
