摘要:

我们目前的最大的阿塔卡马大毫米和亚毫米阵列(ALMA)空白领域连续调查进行的最新,映射遮蔽再电离与ALMA(MORA)调查覆盖184弧分$^2$在2毫米的特点。在13个探测到的$σ$高于5的星系中,有12个是来自星系的辐射,其中11个主要是冷尘埃辐射。这些源的中位红移为$\langle z_{\rm 2mm}\rangle=3.6^{+0.4}_{-0.3}$,主要基于光学/近红外(OIR)光度红移和一些光谱红移,其中77个$\pm$为$z>3$源的11%,38个$\pm$为$z>4$源的12%。这意味着2 mm选择是识别最高红移尘埃恒星形成星系(DSFG)的有效方法。较低红移的DSFGs($z<3$)比$z>3$中的DSFGs多得多,但可能会在2 mm处退出。MORA表明,恒星形成率超过300 M $_\odot$ yr $^{-1}$的DSFG和相对稀少的$\sim$ 10 $^{-5}$ Mpc $^{-3}$对$3<z<6$之间的综合恒星形成率密度贡献了30%。2 mm选定的DSFG的体积密度与一些宇宙学模拟的预测一致,并且与其假设后代的体积密度相似:$z>2$的大质量静止星系。MORA源的光谱能量分布的分析提示在陡峭的气象测量的灰尘比典型的文献研究,与$\langleβ\rangle=2.2^{+0.5}_{-0.4}$发射率指数。MORA调查代表了在宇宙最初几十亿年中进行模糊恒星形成普查的重要一步,但需要更大面积的2毫米调查来更全面地描述这种罕见的人口,并推动宇宙第一个尘埃星系的检测。

英文摘要:

We present the characteristics of 2mm-selected sources from the largest Atacama Large Millimeter and submillimeter Array (ALMA) blank-field contiguous survey conducted to-date, the Mapping Obscuration to Reionization with ALMA (MORA) survey covering 184arcmin$^2$ at 2mm. Twelve of the thirteen detections above 5$σ$ are attributed to emission from galaxies, eleven of which are dominated by cold dust emission. These sources have a median redshift of $\langle z_{\rm 2mm}\rangle=3.6^{+0.4}_{-0.3}$ primarily based on optical/near-infrared (OIR) photometric redshifts with some spectroscopic redshifts, with 77$\pm$11% of sources at $z>3$ and 38$\pm$12% of sources at $z>4$. This implies that 2mm selection is an efficient method for identifying the highest redshift dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs). Lower redshift DSFGs ($z<3$) are far more numerous than those at $z>3$ yet likely to drop out at 2mm. MORA shows that DSFGs with star-formation rates in excess of 300M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ and relative rarity of $\sim$10$^{-5}$ Mpc$^{-3}$ contribute $\sim$30% to the integrated star-formation rate density between $3<z<6$. The volume density of 2mm-selected DSFGs is consistent with predictions from some cosmological simulations and is similar to the volume density of their hypothesized descendants: massive, quiescent galaxies at $z>2$. Analysis of MORA sources' spectral energy distributions hint at steeper empirically-measured dust emissivity indices than typical literature studies, with $\langleβ\rangle=2.2^{+0.5}_{-0.4}$. The MORA survey represents an important step in taking census of obscured star-formation in the Universe's first few billion years, but larger area 2mm surveys are needed to more fully characterize this rare population and push to the detection of the Universe's first dusty galaxies.
