VLA detects CO(1-0) emission in the z=3.65 quasar SDSS J160705+533558

摘要:

我们利用Karl G. Jansky甚大阵列(VLA)我们检测到CO排放与类星体和$\sim16.8\,\rm kpc$投影距离,由$\sim800\,\rm km\,s^{-1}$速度分开。该系统的总分子气体质量为$\sim5\times10^{10}\,\rm M_{\odot}$。通过比较我们的CO检测与以前的亚毫米(submm)观测的源,不同的发射组件之间的偏移被揭示:submm发射的峰值是从类星体和CO同伴在我们的VLA数据检测到的偏移。为了解释我们的发现,我们提出了一个类似于银河系的场景:SDSS J160705+533558可能是一个合并系统,其中类星体和CO伴星是合并星系,它们的相互作用导致星系之间形成了一个尘埃,恒星形成的重叠区域,在亚毫米波长处占主导地位。

英文摘要:

We present CO(1--0) observations of the high-redshift quasar SDSS J160705+533558 ($z=3.653$) using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). We detect CO emission associated with the quasar and at $\sim16.8\,\rm kpc$ projected distance from it, separated by $\sim800\,\rm km\,s^{-1}$ in velocity. The total molecular gas mass of this system is $\sim5\times10^{10}\,\rm M_{\odot}$. By comparing our CO detections with previous submillimetre (submm) observations of the source, an offset between the different emission components is revealed: the peak of the submm emission is offset from the quasar and from the CO companion detected in our VLA data. To explain our findings, we propose a scenario similar to that for the Antennae galaxies: SDSS J160705+533558 might be a merger system in which the quasar and the CO companion are the merging galaxies, whose interaction resulted in the formation of a dusty, star-forming overlap region between the galaxies that is dominant at the submm wavelengths.
