摘要:

发射线星系(ELG)是理解星系形成和演化的关键,但对它们的变化知之甚少。在这里,我们报告的光学变率的一个样本的ELG选择在COSMOS领域,其中有窄带观测的两个历元相隔$\gtrsim$ 12年的研究。在$Subaru$望远镜上,分别在NB 816和$i'/i$波段使用Suprime-Cam(SC)和Hyper Suprime-Cam(HSC)观察该样品。在仔细去除窄带滤波器的翼效应后,我们检查了181个光谱确认的ELG样品的光学变化。我们发现0(0/68)Ha发射体、11.9%(5/42)[OIII]发射体和0(0/71)[OII]发射体在两历元窄带观测中表现出显著的变异性($|Δm_{NB}| \geq 3\,σ_{Δm_{NB,AGN}} = 0.20\, mag$)。我们用X射线光度、中红外活动和射电过剩三种方法研究了这个变ELG(var-ELG)样品中是否存在活动星系核(AGN)。我们在这个var-ELG样本中发现了零亮活动星系核,但不能排除暗活动星系核的贡献。我们发现,SNe也可以主导的变异性的VAR-ELG样本。所有var-ELG样本的HST/F814 W图像中显示的合并形态与恒星形成的增强一致,即,SNE活动。

英文摘要:

Emission-line galaxies (ELGs) are crucial in understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies, while little is known about their variability. Here we report the study on the optical variability of a sample of ELGs selected in the COSMOS field, which has narrow-band observations in two epochs separated by $\gtrsim$ 12 years. This sample was observed with Suprime-Cam (SC) and Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) on the $Subaru$ telescope in NB816 and $i'/i$ bands, respectively. After carefully removing the wing effect of a narrow-band filter, we check the optical variability in a sample of 181 spectroscopically confirmed ELGs. We find that 0 (0/68) Ha emitters, 11.9% (5/42) [OIII] emitters, and 0 (0/71) [OII] emitters show significant variability ($|Δm_{NB}| \geq 3\,σ_{Δm_{NB,AGN}} = 0.20\, mag$) in the two-epoch narrow-band observations. We investigate the presence of active galactic nucleus (AGN) in this variable ELG (var-ELG) sample with three methods, including X-ray luminosity, mid-infrared activity, and radio-excess. We find zero bright AGN in this var-ELG sample, but cannot rule out the contribution from faint AGN. We find that SNe could also dominate the variability of the var-ELG sample. The merger morphology shown in the HST/F814W images of all the var-ELG sample is in agreement with the enhancement of star formation, i.e., the SNe activity.
