本文在JADES巡天中证认了四个红移z~10-13的星系,通过恒星族合成模型揭示其具有一亿太阳质量恒星、年龄小于一亿年及高恒星形成率面密度,表明早期星系形成迅速且辐射场强烈。

摘要:

詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜(JWST)的巡天观测已在宇宙诞生后的最初4亿年内发现了候选星系。初步迹象表明,这些候选星系可能比此前认为的更加庞大和丰富。然而,由于缺乏确认的距离,其推断性质仍不确定。在此,我们在JWST先进深场河外巡天(JADES)近红外相机(NIRCam)成像中证认了四个测光红移约为z~10-13的星系。这些星系包括首批红移z>12的系统,其距离已由JWST在一篇伴随论文中通过光谱确认。利用恒星族合成模型,我们发现这些星系通常包含一亿倍太阳质量的恒星,其恒星族年龄小于一亿年。适中的恒星形成率和致密的尺度表明其恒星形成率面密度较高,这是指示其形成途径的关键指标。综合来看,这些测量结果表明,为宇宙再电离做出贡献的第一批星系形成迅速,并具有强烈的内部辐射场。

英文摘要:

Surveys with James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered candidate galaxies in the first 400 Myr of cosmic time. Preliminary indications have suggested these candidate galaxies may be more massive and abundant than previously thought. However, without confirmed distances, their inferred properties remain uncertain. Here we identify four galaxies located in the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) imaging with photometric redshifts z~10-13. These galaxies include the first redshift z>12 systems discovered with distances spectroscopically confirmed by JWST in a companion paper. Using stellar population modelling, we find the galaxies typically contain a hundred million solar masses in stars, in stellar populations that are less than one hundred million years old. The moderate star formation rates and compact sizes suggest elevated star formation rate surface densities, a key indicator of their formation pathways. Taken together, these measurements show that the first galaxies contributing to cosmic reionisation formed rapidly and with intense internal radiation fields.
