摘要:

我们公开发布了Chandra在$z$ =6.3类星体SDSS J1030+0525领域探测到的光谱和光度红移目录。这是目前第五深的X射线场,并且达到0.5-2 keV通量极限$f_{\rm 0.5-2}$ =6 $\times$ 10 $^{-17}$ erg s $^{-1}$ cm $^{-2}$。通过使用两种独立的方法,我们测量了243个天体的光度红移,而123个(51%)源也有光谱红移,其中110个来自INAF-大双筒望远镜(LBT)战略计划。我们使用光谱红移来确定测光的质量,并发现它与其他X射线调查,使用类似数量的测光数据点的协议。特别地,我们测量样本归一化中值绝对偏差$σ_{NMAD}$ =1.48|| $z_{phot}$ - $z_{spec}$||/(1+ $z_{spec}$)=0.065。我们使用这些新的光谱和光度红移来研究钱德拉J1030场的性质。我们观察到几个峰在我们的光谱红移分布之间的$z$ =0.15和$z$ =1.5,并发现在每个峰的源往往分布在整个钱德拉视场。这一证据证实,X射线选择活动星系核可以有效地跟踪大尺度结构超过几个Mpc的物理尺度。最后,我们计算了Chandra J1030 $z>$ 3的数量计数:虽然我们的样品在高红移时的光谱完整性是有限的,但我们的结果指向$z\geq$ 4的潜在源过剩,我们计划在不久的将来通过专门的光谱活动确认或拒绝。

英文摘要:

We publicly release the spectroscopic and photometric redshift catalog of the sources detected with Chandra in the field of the $z$=6.3 quasar SDSS J1030+0525. This is currently the fifth deepest X-ray field, and reaches a 0.5-2 keV flux limit $f_{\rm 0.5-2}$=6$\times$10$^{-17}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$. By using two independent methods, we measure a photometric redshift for 243 objects, while 123 (51%) sources also have a spectroscopic redshift, 110 of which coming from an INAF-Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) Strategic Program. We use the spectroscopic redshifts to determine the quality of the photometric ones, and find it in agreement with that of other X-ray surveys which used a similar number of photometric data-points. In particular, we measure a sample normalized median absolute deviation $σ_{NMAD}$=1.48||$z_{phot}$-$z_{spec}$||/(1+$z_{spec}$)=0.065. We use these new spectroscopic and photometric redshifts to study the properties of the Chandra J1030 field. We observe several peaks in our spectroscopic redshift distribution between $z$=0.15 and $z$=1.5, and find that the sources in each peak are often distributed across the whole Chandra field of view. This evidence confirms that X-ray selected AGN can efficiently track large-scale structures over physical scales of several Mpc. Finally, we computed the Chandra J1030 $z>$3 number counts: while the spectroscopic completeness at high-redshift of our sample is limited, our results point towards a potential source excess at $z\geq$4, which we plan to either confirm or reject in the near future with dedicated spectroscopic campaigns.
